Within two years of the date of enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General shall report his findings to Congress together with an assessment of whether contract procedures are applied uniformly among the various field offices under the Secretary's jurisdiction. The report shall also provide recommendations on improving contracting procedures, including

(2)whether recordkeeping requirements imposed by the Secretary on contractors are appropriate in the interest of competition, and
(3)the extent to which the private sector can be used more efficiently by the Secretary in contracting for construction, architecture, engineering, surveying, and mapping. **[**[33 U.S.C. 2302](/us/usc/t33/s2302)**]** * * * * * * *
