SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DoD will 

provide a brief overview of emerging 

policy issues potentially affecting the 

collection of this information. DoD 

solicits input from the public regarding 

methods to consistently, uniquely, and 

easily identify corporate ownership of 

DoD contractors in support of 

implementation of business tools that 

require identification of supplier

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 202 / Wednesday, October 19, 2011 / Notices 64903 

relationships to facilitate better buying 

decisions. In order for these business 

tools to be useful, and to promote the 

procurement efficiencies required for 

better buying decisions, DoD requires 

the ability to understand the corporate 

structure and affiliations of its 

suppliers. DoD is seeking industry 

insight on ‘‘best practices’’ and how 

such a process may affect future 

offerors. In particular, DoD invites 

discussion at the public meeting and 

public comment on the following: 

(1) Means of identifying whether or 

not a particular DoD contractor is 

owned or controlled by another 

business entity. 

(2) Would it be meaningful, from the 

private sector perspective, to 

characterize an ‘‘immediate owner,’’ as 

the business entity, which has the most 

direct and proximate ownership or 

control of the offeror? If not, then please 

suggest an alternative characterization. 

(3) Would it be meaningful, from the 

private sector perspective, to 

characterize the ‘‘highest-level owner’’ 

as a business entity, which owns or 

controls the one or more business 

entities that own or control the offeror? 

If not, then please suggest an alternative 

characterization. 

(4) Would it be meaningful, from the 

private sector perspective, to 

characterize an ‘‘owner’’ as a business 

entity, other than the offeror that owns 

or controls the offeror, or that owns or 

controls other business entities that own 

or control the offeror? An owner could 

then be either an immediate owner or a 

highest-level owner. If not meaningful, 

then please suggest an alternative 

characterization. 

(5) One potential approach is for the 

offeror to provide with its offer the 

immediate owner Commercial and 

Government Entity (CAGE) code along 

with the legal name, and the highestlevel owner CAGE code along with the 

legal name (if a higher-level entity 

exists). If this process is considered 

burdensome, what are the potential 

ways to mitigate such burden? 

(6) Are there additional factors that 

should be considered to accurately 

capture such a business environment? If 

so, please explain.
