Title: ●FAR Case 2009-004, Enhancing Contract Transparency 
Abstract: The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) are seeking information that will assist in determining how best to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to enable public posting of contract actions, should such posting become a requirement in the future, without compromising contractorsÂ’ proprietary and confidential commercial or financial information. This transparency effort is intended to promote the AdministrationÂ’s good-Government and openness agendas and improve federal spending accountability. This is a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was subject to review under section 6 of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
