A draft of a new version of OMB's A-76 circular is almost complete, Angela Styles, administrator of OMB's Office of Federal Procurement Policy, said recently at a congressional hearing.

The circular dictates rules for public-private competitions for government work. The draft is based on recommendations of the Commercial Activities Panel, of which Styles is a member.

The draft should be released for a 60-day comment period this summer, Styles said.
