Windhoek (în germană: Windhuk, numele original fiind Ai-Gams) este capitala Namibiei, cu o populație de 230.000 de locuitori. Capitala este centrul comercial și politic al Namibiei (situată în Africa Sudică). Orașul Windhoek a fost înființat în anul 1838.
 Denumire
 „Windhoek” provine din limba afrikaans (Windecke) și înseamnă „colțul vântului”. „Ai-Gams” înseamnă „izvoare calde”, reflectând faptul că mai demult în regiune existau izvoare termale. Numele în herero (Otjomuise) al orașului înseamnă „locul aburilor”.
 Istorie
 Cartierul Micul Windhoek a fost prima așezare din zonă datorită izvoarelor calde. Acesta a fost înființat la mijlocul secolului al XIX-lea de către Jan Jonker Afrikaner.
 În decursul anilor, burii, coloniști olandezi din actuala Africa de Sud, au zidit o biserică din piatră, care poate să cuprindă 500 de persoane. Ea a fost folosită și ca școală. Doi misionari germani, Hugo Hahn și Heinrich Kleinschmidt, au început să lucreze. Când a început să înflorească orașul, acesta a fost distrus din cauza conflictelor dintre triburile Nama și Herero. Când Hugo Hahn s-a hotărât, după o absență mai lungă, să viziteze din nou orașul Windhoek în anul 1873, a observat că nimic din ce a fost în oraș nu a mai rămas întreg. Un botanist elvețian și-a notat că a găsit în Windhoek (în iunie 1885) numai "șacali și numididae înfometate în livezi părăsite".
 În anul 1878, Regatul Unit a anectat Walvis Bay și și-a însușit-o coloniei din Cap în anul 1884. În aceleași an negustorii Franz Adolf Eduard Lüderitz și Heinrich Vogelsang au trimis o cerere la organul executiv al Germaniei pentru a trece colonia germană din sud-vestul Africii drept arie protejată (Anglia nu a mai fost interesată de pământurile "din spate"). Pe când se stabileau granițele în anul 1890 s-a trimis o forță armată a coloniei sub conducerea lui Curt von François în sud-vestul Africii pentru a menține ordine. Drept bază militară s-a ales Windhoek, fiindcă se afla direct între cele două triburi îndușmănite Nama și Herero și pentru izvoarele care se găseau acolo asigurând astfel furnizarea de apă potabilă.
 Pe data de 18 octombrie 1890 s-a pus piarta (cu ajutorul lui Curt von François) la modernul oraș Windhoek începând să se construiască la o fortificație din piatră, actuala "Cetate Veche". În anii următori, Windhoek s-a dezvoltat destul de lent. Numai clădirile cele mai importante precum locuințe și clădiri de administrație s-au constuit. În Micul Windhoek s-a dat pământul către coloniști, care au plantat tabac și livezi pe el. După 1907 s-a accelerat ritmul de dezvoltare al orașului, datorită venirii oamenilor de la sat și imigrării masive din Imperiul German și din Africa de Sud. De-a lungul Independence Avenue s-au deschis multe firme. De asemenea și cele trei cetăți ale Windhoekului Schwerinsburg, Heinitzburg și Sanderburg au fost construite în acest timp de Wilhelm Sander.
 În mai 1915, pe timpul primului război mondial, colonia germană este ocupată de trupe din Africa de Sud sub steagul britanic. În următorii cinci ani sud-vestul Africii este administrat de un guvern în regim militar, împiedicând astfel dezvoltarea orașului. Abia după al doilea război mondial regiunea a aflat o dezvoltare ușoară, îmbunătățind astfel starea economică. După anul 1955 s-au realizat numeroase proiecte de amploare, precum ridicarea de școli și spitale, asfaltarea străzilor (care a început deja din 1928) și construcția de diguri și conducte pentru a ține față la creșterea enormă a cerințelor de apă potabilă.
 Sud-vestul Africii a devenit abia în anul 1990 din nou în totalitate independent de Africa de Sud, iar Windhoek a devenit capitala primului guvern democrat al tinerei națiuni Namibia sub conducerea lui Sam Nujoma. Aceste evenimente au adus orașul într-o perioadă de boom economic și o dezvoltare rapidă.
 În anul 1992, Matheus Shikongo a devenit primar al orașului (predecesorul lui a fost namibianul de origine germană Björn von Finckenstein). Acest fapt i-a dat orașului o imagine africană (acesta fiind primul primar de culoare al Windhoekului).
 Windhoek este unul din cele mai frumoase orașe din Africa. Pe lângă acest fapt, orașul este renumit prin a fi cel mai curat oraș de pe acest continent.
 Clima
 Cartiere și administrație
 Orașul este condus de un consiliu cu 15 membri, printre care și actualul primar al orașului, Matheus Shikongo, precum și fostul primar și actualul președinte al consiliului, Björn von Finckenstein.
 Windhoek este alcătuit din următoarele cartiere:
 Academia
 Parcul Dorado
 Eros (Windhoek)
 Parcul Highlands
 Katutura
 Micul Windhoek (numit și "Windhoek-East")
 Khomasdal
 Olympia
 Parcul Pioneers
 Curtea Suider
 Windhoek-North
 Windhoek-West
 și centrul orașului Central, cartier
 Economie
 Windhoek este cel mai mare centru economic al țării. Aproape toate firmele și concernele din Namibia au reședința în capitală. Rezidenții de proveniență germană dețin multe firme, cu toate că ei sunt o minoritate în Namibia. Firmele din Africa de Sud joacă un rol important, deoarece economia Namibiei este strâns legată de cea din Africa de Sud.
 Transport
 Windhoek are cel mai important nod de cale ferată din Namibia. În oraș se întâlnesc căile ferate care vin din: Gobabis (din est), Keetmanshoop (din sud), Swakopmund (din vest) și Tsumeb (din nord). Calea ferată joacă în Namibia mai ales în transportul de mărfuri un rol important. Pe ruta Windhoek-Swakopmund există un tren pentru turiști (Desert-Express). În anumite intervale există și legături cu Lüderitz și Etosha.
 Altfel transportul de persoane are loc pe șosea (pe cont propriu sau cu autocarul, care are rute în Namibia, Africa de Sud și Botswana). În Windhoek se intersectează cele mai importante drumuri: în direcția nord-sud: B1 (pornind din Cape Town, Africa de Sud până la Lusaka, Angola) și în direcția est-vest: drumul Trans-Kalahari (pornind de la Oceanul Atlantic până la Oceanul Indian). Drumul expres Western Bypass ocolește orașul, făcând un semicerc. Centrul orașului este astfel protejat de acest trafic rutier.
 Windhoek deține două aeroporturi: Aeroportul "Eros" pentru zboruri interne și Aeroportul Internațional "Hosea Kutako", care se află la 40 de km de oraș. Cele mai importante companii aeriene sunt: Air Namibia și South African Airways.
 Cultură
 Viața culturală din Windhoek nu corespunde în totalitate cu așteptările pentru o capitală. Acest fapt se explică prin istoria țării. Odată cu alegerile pentru independență și cu schimbarea abruptă a puterii: prezentarea publică a culturii tradiționale ale rezidenților de proveniență europeană este restricționată; o cultură africană, care să echilibreze acest deficit, nu se evidențiază (nu ia loc în public). Astfel viața culturală se concentrează pe ceremoniile unor grupuri de etnici într-un mediu "închis", privite de celelalte etnii cu dezinteres. Un exemplu de manifestare este Carnavalul din Windhoek (numit și Oktoberfest).
 Cultura africană a atras interesele turiștilor. După mutarea berăriei Windhoek la periferia orașului, "vechea berărie" din centru s-a dezvoltat într-un loc important pentru dezvoltarea culturii africane: în „Craft-Center“ au loc regulat concerte ținute de grupuri de muzică africane, iar în „Warehouse Theatre“ se prezintă piese de teatru. Cartierul de săraci Katutura în nordul Windhoekului este unul din cele mai mari din oraș cu o populație de cca. 150.000 de locuitori.
 Puncte de atracție
 Printre punctele de atracție din Windhoek se numără:
 Biserica luterană "Iisus Hristos", din 1910;
 catedrala catolică "Sf. Maria";
 Statuia "Călărețul din sud-vest";
 Alte Feste (Vechea fortăreață);
 Palatul Tinten ;
 Grădinile Parlamentului;
 Gara din Windhoek;
 precum și cele trei castele: Heinitzburg, Schwerinsburg și Sanderburg.

 2.DefinitionsIn this Act:
 (1)Inherently
 governmental functionsThe term inherently governmental
 functions has the meaning given the term under section 5 of the Federal
 Activities Inventory Act of 1998 (31 U.S.C. 1501 note) and subpart 7.5 of part
 7 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
 (2)Functions
 closely associated with inherently governmental functionsThe
 term functions closely associated with inherently governmental
 functions means the functions described in section 7.503(d) of the
 Federal Acquisition Regulation that are recurring.
 (3)Mission-essential
 functionsThe term mission-essential functions
 refers to functions that, although neither necessarily inherently governmental
 nor necessarily closely related to an inherently governmental function, are
 nevertheless considered by executive agency officials to be more appropriate
 for performance by Federal employees.
 (4)Business Process
 Reengineering ProjectThe term business process
 reengineering project refers to a process whereby an existing
 organization is reinvented, consolidated, or expanded to result in a new
 organization whose performance exceeds that of previous and comparable
 performers, whether performed by Federal employees or contractors or a
 combination of Federal employees and contractors.
 (5)Executive
 agencyThe term executive agency has the meaning
 given the term in section 133 of title 41, United States Code.
 (6)Personal
 services contractThe term personal services
 contract has the meaning given to the term under section 37.104 of the
 Federal Acquisition Regulation, unless the functions to be performed under the
 contract are included in statutory exceptions, including sections 129b and 1091
 of title 10, United States Code.
 (7)Standard
 studyThe term standard study has the meaning given
 to the specific type of cost-comparison study outlined in attachment B in the
 OMB Circular A–76 process, as revised in May 2003.
 3.FindingsCongress makes the following
 findings:
 (1)Functions that
 should have been performed by Federal employees because they are inherently
 governmental functions, functions that are closely related to inherently
 governmental functions and recurring, or mission-essential functions have been
 wrongly outsourced, including preparing budgets, developing policy, supporting
 acquisition, developing and interpreting regulations, developing
 reorganizations, and developing and implementing competitive
 sourcing plans.
 (2)Federal agencies
 have been pushed to outsource significant amounts of work with little
 competition, while Federal employees, despite having won 83 percent of the OMB
 Circular A–76 privatization reviews conducted since the circular was revised in
 2003, are rarely given opportunities to perform new work or outsourced
 work.
 (3)The capacity of
 the Federal Government to oversee contractors and the OMB Circular A–76
 privatization process continues to decline, as demonstrated in scandals
 involving reconstruction efforts in Iraq, Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts,
 and conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The Government
 Accountability Office (GAO), in two 2008 reports on the use of
 competitive sourcing in different agencies, determined that
 costs of A–76 privatization reviews often exceeded savings because of
 systematically bad direction from the Office of Management and Budget. In the
 latter report, on the Department of Labor, GAO wrote, Without a better
 system to assess performance and track all of the costs associated with
 competitive sourcing, DoL cannot reliably assess whether competitive sourcing
 truly provides the best deal for the taxpayers..
 (4)The OMB Circular
 A–76 process retains fundamental inequities. The minimum cost differential
 fails to take into account the quantifiable costs (such as hiring consultants
 and diverting Federal employees from their regular duties) of carrying out A–76
 privatization studies. All in-house bids are charged 12 percent of their
 personnel costs for overhead costs, even though a Department of Defense
 Inspector General study revealed that overhead costs may not differ
 significantly, if at all, whether the functions are kept in-house or contracted
 out, even in the case of studies of large numbers of Federal employees. Despite
 time limits established in law and as part of the OMB Circular process A–76
 process, privatization studies are allowed to continue indefinitely. The longer
 an A–76 privatization study lasts, the more it costs to conduct, the less
 likely there are to be savings from that study, and the more likely it will
 cost taxpayers more than it will save. In fact, given the costs and
 controversies associated with the OMB Circular A–76 privatization process, OMB
 should be encouraging agencies to use internal reengineering efforts, as OMB
 finally did, during the last year of George W. Bush's presidency.
 4.PurposesThe purposes of this Act are as
 follows:
 (1)To build upon the
 foundation established by the 110th Congress that suspended the use of the OMB
 Circular A–76 privatization process, required all executive agencies to develop
 policies to promote the insourcing of new work and outsourced work, and
 required the Department of Defense to develop a comprehensive inventory of its
 service contracts.
 (2)To establish a
 policy that provides that—
 (A)Federal employees
 must perform inherently governmental functions, functions closely related to
 inherently governmental functions, and mission essential functions;
 (B)other functions
 may be performed by Federal employees or contractors, depending on the needs of
 executive agencies and all relevant public-private competition requirements;
 and
 (C)Federal employees
 should not be subject to headcounts, personnel ceilings, or constraints, which
 force executive agencies to contract out functions without public-private
 competition.
 (3)To prevent
 executive agencies from contracting out new functions if those new functions
 should be performed by Federal employees and require agencies to explain in
 annual reports to Congress why functions ultimately contracted out were not
 considered for performance by Federal employees.
 (4)To require
 executive agencies—
 (A)to determine which
 of their functions must actually be performed by Federal employees because the
 work is inherently governmental, closely related to inherently governmental
 work, or mission essential, and how many contractor employees are currently
 performing those functions;
 (B)to report on how
 wrongly contracted out work will be insourced; and
 (C)to incrementally
 insource over several years 70 percent of the wrongly contracted out
 workload.
 (5)To require
 civilian agencies to establish inventories to track the cost and quality, among
 other features, of specific contracts, based on the inventory that the 110th
 Congress required the Department of Defense to establish.
 (6)To require
 executive agencies to determine if they are now experiencing or will experience
 shortages of Federal employees and what their plans are for addressing these
 personnel shortfalls.
 (7)To encourage the
 use of a regulated alternative to the often costly and controversial OMB
 Circular A–76 process, including business process reengineering, which is
 commonly used by executive agencies to generate efficiencies through internal
 reorganizations.
 (8)To direct the
 President to undertake several reforms of the OMB Circular A–76 privatization
 process, including imposing time limitations on how long privatization studies
 can last, charging in-house bids only for actual overhead costs, and
 considering quantifiable costs of conducting A–76 privatization studies in the
 minimum differential.
 (9)To impose a
 temporary suspension on the use of the OMB Circular A–76 privatization process
 until the reforms required by this Act have been substantially implemented,
 consistent with the temporary suspension on the same process enacted in the
 110th Congress.
 5.General personnel
 policy
 (a)Required
 performance of inherently governmental functions by Federal
 employeesThe head of each executive agency shall ensure that
 inherently governmental functions, functions closely related to inherently
 governmental functions, and mission-essential functions are performed by
 Federal employees.
 (b)Performance of
 other functions by more efficient workforce in accordance with public-Private
 competition requirementsThe head of each executive agency shall
 ensure that functions that are not inherently governmental functions, functions
 closely related to inherently governmental functions, or mission-essential
 functions are performed by the more efficient form of personnel, whether
 Federal employees, contractors, or, in the case of the Department of Defense,
 military personnel, consistent with requirements for quality and reliability
 and other needs of that executive agency and with all public-private
 competition requirements.
 (c)Use of most
 efficient workforceNotwithstanding any other provision of law,
 the heads of executive agencies shall not be constrained by any in-house
 personnel ceiling, headcount, or staffing limitation in ensuring that functions
 are performed in the most efficient manner possible.
 (d)Shifting
 functions between workforcesIn developing personnel
 authorization requests to Congress and in carrying out personnel policies
 generally, the head of each executive agency shall consider particularly the
 advantages of converting from one form of personnel (Federal or private
 contract personnel, or in the case of the Department of Defense, Federal,
 private contract, or military personnel) to another form of personnel for the
 performance of functions that are not inherently governmental functions,
 functions closely related to inherently governmental functions, or
 mission-essential functions using any relevant public-private competition
 processes.
 6.Consideration of
 in-house performance required for new work
 (a)FindingPursuant
 to section 739 of the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations
 Act, 2008 (division D of Public Law 110–161; 31 U.S.C. 501 note) each covered
 executive agency is required to devise and implement guidelines and procedures
 to ensure that consideration is given to using, on a regular basis, Federal
 employees to perform new functions.
 (b)Certification
 Required Before Awarding a Service ContractThe Chief Acquisition
 Officer of each executive agency, or, if no such position exists, the executive
 agency’s representative on the Chief Acquisition Officers Council, shall, with
 respect to each service contract entered into by such agency for the
 performance of a function or functions, including the award or placement of a
 task or delivery order or the exercise of an option under an existing contract,
 certify, together with supporting rationales, that—
 (1)each function to
 be performed under such contract is not an inherently governmental function, a
 function closely related to an inherently governmental function, or a
 mission-essential function;
 (2)the contract is
 not actually an unauthorized personal services contract; and
 (3)performance by
 employees of the agency of the function to be performed by a contractor was
 explicitly considered, with particular consideration given if such function is
 comparable to functions already performed by Federal employees in the executive
 agency or another executive agency, either currently or within the last 10
 years.
 (c)Reports
 Required
 (1)In
 generalNot later than November 1, 2011, and annually thereafter,

 report submitted under paragraph (1) shall describe the following:
 (A)Each function or
 functions performed under a contract with a contractor, the approximate number
 of employees used by contractors under each such contract, the date each such
 contract was entered into, the duration of each contract, and each
 certification required under subsection (b).
 (B)Each new function
 that was assigned by the executive agency to employees of the agency,
 including, for each function, a brief description of the work, a determination
 of the dollar value, and the number of new Federal employees who were hired or
 transferred from the performance of other functions.
 (C)Any obstacles to
 assigning new functions to Federal employees, as well as recommendations for
 legislation to overcome those obstacles.
 (d)Publication of
 reports requiredThe Director of the Office of Management and
 Budget shall promptly publish in the Federal Register information about
 obtaining each report prepared under subsection (c), including the names,
 addresses, and telephone numbers of the officials from whom the reports may be
 obtained. The reports shall also be made available on a publicly available

 in the workforce include shortcomings—
 (A)in the skills and
 competencies of employees;
 (B)in the number of
 employees possessing such skills and competencies; and

 comply with the requirements of this Act, and section 739 of the Financial
 Services and General Government Appropriations Act, 2008 (division D of Public
 Law 110–161; 31 U.S.C. 501 note), which requires each covered executive agency
 to devise and implement guidelines and procedures to ensure that consideration
 is given to using, on a regular basis, Federal employees to perform new
 functions as well as functions that are currently performed by
 contractors.(b)Veterans
 preferenceIn using the authority provided under this section,
 the head of an executive agency shall apply the principles of preference for
 the hiring of veterans and other persons established in subchapter 1 of chapter
 33 of title 5, United States Code.

 principles, including recommendations for how authority for expedited hiring
 might be improved.
 11.Establishment of
 business process reengineering projects as a preferred alternative to the OMB
 Circular A–76 process
 (a)Statement of
 policyEach executive agency
 should constantly strive to generate efficiencies and improvements through
 business process reengineering, even if such efforts reduce or increase the
 need for Federal employees and contractors.
 (b)GuidelinesThe
 Director of the Office of Management and Budget shall develop guidelines for
 the establishment of business process reengineering projects. Such guidelines
 shall ensure consideration and assessment of the following:
 (1)The number of
 Federal employees and contractor employees to be affected by the initiative,
 and how they will be affected.
 (2)The resources
 needed to conduct the initiative.
 (3)The location or
 locations where the initiative will be performed, and the location of the
 affected Federal and contractor employees if different from the initiative
 location or locations.
 (4)The functions to
 be included in the initiative.
 (5)The timeline for
 development and implementation of the initiative.
 (6)The estimated
 duration of the initiative if such initiative is deemed to be temporary.
 (7)The anticipated
 budget savings and programmatic improvements.
 (c)Pre-implementation
 reportNot later than 45 days before beginning implementation of
 a business process reengineering project, the head of the executive agency
 shall submit to the Committee on Government Oversight and Reform of the House
 of Representatives and the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental
 Affairs of the Senate a report on the proposed project, including the
 information described in subsection (b).
 (d)Consistency with
 existing lawAll business process reengineering projects shall be
 implemented in a manner that is consistent with paragraphs (2) and (3) of
 section 7106(b) of title 5, United States Code. Such projects shall not result
 in a change of the collective bargaining status of affected Federal employees
 in the executive agency or in the representation status of a labor organization
 with exclusive representation status, as provided under section 7114 of title
 5, United States Code.
 (e)Enhancement of
 Federal employee buy-inThe head of an executive agency shall, in
 order to promote the active cooperation of affected Federal employees—
 (1)consider all
 business process reengineering projects through any labor-management
 partnership arrangements;
 (2)provide any
 reports required under subsection (c) to any labor organization with national
 consultation rights under section 7113 of title 5, United States Code, at least
 60 days before they are provided to Congress under such subsection; and
 (3)involve
 discussions and bargaining over the impact of implementation of any projects
 upon any bargaining unit with the exclusive representatives of the executive
 agency’s Federal workforce, as provided under section 7114 and sections
 7106(b)(2) and (b)(3) of title 5, United States Code.
 (f)Personnel
 increases or reductionsAny personnel increases or reductions in
 the Federal employee or contractor workforces must be based on the requirements
 of a specific business process reengineering project and not on unrelated or
 predetermined cost and savings assumptions.
 (g)Annual
 evaluationNot later than October 31, 2012, and annually
 thereafter, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget shall conduct a
 performance review of ongoing business process reengineering projects and
 submit a report on such review to the Committee on Government Oversight and
 Reform of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Homeland Security
 and Governmental Affairs of the Senate. Each business process reengineering
 project shall be evaluated with respect to the level of performance in the
 following areas:
 (1)Costs, savings,
 and overall financial performance of the organization.
 (2)Organic knowledge,
 skills or expertise.
 (3)Efficiency and
 effectiveness of key functions or processes.
 (4)Efficiency and
 effectiveness of the overall organization.
 12.Reforms to the
 OMB Circular A–76 process
 (a)Sense of
 CongressIt is the sense of
 Congress that, with respect to Office of Management and Budget Circular A–76 or
 any other related administrative regulation, directive, or policy, the
 following policies and procedures should be implemented:
 (1)A
 standard study shall last no longer than 2 years, from the beginning of the
 preliminary planning process to the rendering of the award decision, which
 period shall be calculated as follows:
 (A)Any days during
 which a standard study is suspended because of bid protests on behalf of the
 affected Federal employees shall not be included when determining the length of
 a standard study.
 (B)However, any days
 during which a standard study is extended because of additional activity that
 is either required by the Government Accountability Office, directed by the
 contracting officer subsequent to an appeal to the Government Accountability
 Office or the dismissal or denial of a protest to the Government Accountability
 Office shall be included when determining the length of a standard
 study.
 (C)No executive
 agency may stop and restart a standard study in order to avoid compliance with
 this paragraph. Similarly, an executive agency may not subject a function to a
 standard study if it was earlier subjected to a standard study that had to be
 stopped because of the length limitation under this paragraph.
 (2)The conversion
 differential shall be—
 (A)significantly
 increased in order to include the large costs that are currently excluded from
 consideration, including preliminary planning costs, consultants costs, costs
 of Federal employees diverted from their actual jobs to work on studies,
 transition costs, post-competition reviews costs, and proportional costs for
 agencies’ privatization bureaucracies (including both Federal employees and
 contractors); and
 (B)doubled when a
 standard study begins its thirteenth month, which period shall be calculated as
 follows:
 (i)Any
 days during which a standard study is suspended because of bid protests on
 behalf of the affected Federal employees shall not be included when determining
 the length of a standard study for purposes of doubling the cost
 differential.
 (ii)However, any days
 during which a standard study is extended because of additional activity that
 is either required by the Government Accountability Office, directed by the
 contracting officer subsequent to an appeal to the Government Accountability
 Office or the dismissal or denial of a protest to the Government Accountability
 Office shall be included when determining the length of a standard
 study.
 (3)Bids or tenders
 filed on behalf of Federal employees shall include only the overhead costs
 actually incurred for those Federal employees performing the specific functions
 being reviewed, and may not include an assessment of an automatic charge for
 overhead.
 (4)A
 reliable system to track costs, savings, and quality from OMB Circular A–76
 studies that has been implemented, tested, and determined to be accurate and
 reliable over a long-term and a short-term period should be established. The
 system established should also take into account the possibility for greater
 efficiencies and programmatic improvements that can be generated through
 business process reengineering projects, pursuant to section 10.
 (5)No recompetition
 requiredNo Federal employee workforce should be recompeted under
 OMB Circular A–76 unless the head of the relevant executive agency, without
