venture, explaining how the performance of work requirements are being 
met (or have been met); and also, for those Participants in the 8(a)

deleted, or added certain terms (e.g., SAM and DUNS) to conform to 
current usage; clarified submission of personal information including 
tax returns, as well as the notification requirements concerning 
transferred assets.
