In each of the last two years, we submitted such a report, reporting two instances of non-implementation in FY 1985 and one for FY 1986. During FY 1987, federal agencies accepted our recommendations in all cases. While there are therefore no reportable FY 1987 cases where our recommendations were not followed, we are submitting a summary of our CICA bid protest activities over the past year. The summary consists of two parts: a synopsis of significant developments and a statistical overview of our processing of FY 1987 bid protest cases. Significant Developments As promised in our FY 1986 report, on March 26, 1987 we published for comment proposed amendments to our bid protest regulations. After reviewing the comments received, final rules were published on December 8, effective on the third anniversary of the effective date of CICA, January 15, 1988. The amendments enable protesters to obtain access to agency documents relevant to a protest and create a new fact finding conference to resolve factual disputes that cannot be resolved on the written record. Interested parties are authorized by CICA to receive all relevant protest documents that would not give them a competitive advantage and that they are otherwise authorized by law to receive. Under the new document production provisions, interested parties to a protest may request I/ 1I u.i .u. n _5DDqke)k kzbUpp. iii iIoDJ.
