Abstract: In this paper we obtain conditions for a Whitney sum of three vector bundles over a closed manifold, $\varepsilon _{1} \oplus \varepsilon _{2} \oplus \varepsilon  _{3} \rightarrow F$, to be the fixed data of a $(Z_{2})^{2}$-action; these conditions yield the fact that if $(\varepsilon _{1} \oplus R) \oplus \varepsilon _{2} \oplus \varepsilon _{3} \rightarrow  F$ is the fixed data of a $(Z_{2})^{2}$-action, where $R \rightarrow  F$ is the trivial one dimensional bundle, then the same is true for $\varepsilon _{1} \oplus \varepsilon _{2} \oplus \varepsilon _{3} \rightarrow  F$. The results obtained, together with techniques previously developed, are used to obtain, up to bordism, all possible $(Z_{2})^{2}$-actions fixing the disjoint union of an even projective space and a point.
