My interpretation is the same as Greg's. The controls are not included in the Bill of Materials requirements or the cost accounting.
However, the only intrepretation that matters belongs to the GDC. Someone with a Q&A login should ask the question there. I'm suprised no one has yet, as there seems to be quite a bit of confusion regarding the COTS requirement and if it does or does not apply to the operator controls, based on several comments I have seen in different threads.
I'd post the question to Q&A myself, but I don't have a login.
