directs the Comptroller General of the

United States to convene a panel of

experts to study the policies and

procedures governing the transfer of

commercial activities for the federal

government from government personnel

to a federal contractor. The panel’s

study is to include a review of (1)

procedures for determining whether

functions should continue to be

performed by government personnel, (2)

procedures for comparing the costs of

performing functions by government

personnel with the costs of performing

those functions by federal contractors,

(3) implementation by the Department

of Defense of the Federal Activities

Inventory Reform Act of 1998 (Pub. L.

105–270, 112 Stat. 2382, 31 U.S.C. 501

note), and (4) procedures of the

Department of Defense for publicprivate competitions under Office of

Management and Budget Circular A–76.

By May 1, 2002, the Comptroller

General must submit to Congress a

report of the panel on the results of the

study, including recommended changes

with regard to implementing policies

and enactment of legislation.

The Act requires the Comptroller

General or a person within GAO

designated by him to serve as the

panel’s chairman. The Comptroller

General must appoint highly qualified

and knowledgeable persons to serve on

the panel and must ensure that the

following entities receive fair

representation on the panel: (1) The

Department of Defense, (2) persons in

private industry, (3) federal labor

organizations, and (4) the Office of

Management and Budget.

The GAO is in the initial stages of

forming a panel to conduct this study.

To ensure the entities specified in the

Act and others receive fair

representation on the panel, the GAO

seeks public input on the panel’s

composition. The GAO invites

interested parties to submit suggestions

on who should serve on the panel,

specific agencies and organizations that

should be represented, and the

qualifications of panel members.

Nominations of particular individuals

who should be considered for the panel

also may be submitted. Please include

the name and phone number of the

person to be contacted for clarification

or additional information. GAO

anticipates that the panel, once formed,

will solicit substantive comments on the

issues to be reviewed through public

be addressed are not solicited at this

time.

Setting—New—National Center for

Chronic Disease Prevention and Health

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It

is difficult to estimate the burden of

arthritis on the American public

because many patients with arthritis do

not seek treatment from a health care

provider for the condition. The

Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance

System (BRFSS) is an ongoing telephone

survey that is being used by individual

states and the CDC to measure the

burden of arthritis. The BRFSS collects

a wide variety of self-reported health

information, including 6 questions on

arthritis. A BRFSS case of arthritis is

defined as any person who reports

chronic joint symptoms or recalls a

diagnosis of arthritis by a health care

provider. However, the BRFSS case
