  <description><![CDATA[ The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is proposing to 
amend its Bid Protest Regulations, promulgated in accordance with the 
Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 (CICA), 31 U.S.C. 35513556, to 
implement the requirements in the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005, Pub. L. 108375, 118 Stat. 
1811, enacted on October 28, 2004. The proposed amendments to GAO's Bid 
Protest Regulations implement the legislation's provisions related to 
the bid protest process, where a publicprivate competition has been 
conducted under Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A76, as 
revised on May 29, 2003, regarding an activity or function of a Federal 
agency performed by more than 65 fulltime equivalent employees of the 
Federal agency. In this regard, the legislating grants designated 
representatives of an inhouse competitor the status of an ``interested 
party'' to file a protest at GAO or the status of an ``intervenor'' to 
participate in a protest filed at GAO. In add<script type="text/javascript">
