the secretarial standards clearly says that "the standard is in conformity with the provisions of the Act. However, if, due to subsequent changes in the act, a particular standard or any part thereof becomes inconsistent with the Act, the provisions of the Act shall prevail.

since section 102 does not say that this section shall not apply to private company it will apply
others view are welcome
