The Commission may disseminate to the public, without charge for use to the public or the Government, all of the Contractor's detailed back-up operating data (e.g., number of manhours utilized, chemical processing rates, chemicals and utilities usage) but not the Contractor's wage rates or profits.

C. Performance of work under this contract for the purposes of this Article XVI shall be deemed to include but not be limited to performance in the Plant of chemical processing for persons other than the Commission as well as for the Commission during the term of this contract, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Contractor to include any of the provisions referred to in this Article XVI in any contract for the performance of chemical processing services by the Contractor.
