•Is certified as not having a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);

Agency (EPA). 
ACTION : Proposed rule. 
SUMMARY : This action is a notification

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
I. Background 
In 2015, the Office of Federal 
Procurement Policy (OFPP) issued guidance to test use of a standard survey that allowed offerors, whether or not they received award, to rate the agency’s pre-award and debriefing processes for specific solicitations. See ‘‘Acquisition 360—Improving the Acquisition Process through Timely Feedback from External and Internal Stakeholders’’ (March 2015) (available at: https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/ whitehouse.gov/files/omb/procurement/ memo/acquisition-360-improving- acquisition-process-timely-feedback- external-internal-stakeholders.pdf). Under the guidance, interested offerors were invited, at their discretion, to rate and provide comments regarding the issuance of solicitations covering a wide range of requirements, including information technology, medical equipment, and management support services. Survey questions asked for input regarding satisfaction with the pre-solicitation activities, solicitation documents, evaluation criteria, and the debriefing process. To view the online survey tool with the survey questions, go to https://www.acquisition.gov/360 . 
Even though the data was limited in 
scope some trends did emerge. For example, contractors rated the robustness of agency debriefings with the lowest satisfaction scores in both iterations. This informed OFPP’s education and outreach efforts and a memorandum, ‘‘ ‘Myth-busting 3’ Further Improving Industry Communication with Effective
