II.  Discussion and Analysis

The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council reviewed the public comment in the development of the final rule. A discussion of the comment follows:

Executive Compensation Reporting

Comment: The respondent inquired if the executive compensation reporting language applied to private companies that through the normal course of business have no interest in disclosing this information to the public/Government.

Response: This comment is outside the scope of this case, which was limited to simply replacing superseded FAR references with updated references. FAR 4.1403 delineates which Government contracts require the reporting of executive compensation (FAR clause 52.204-10).
