SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 21, 1995, the Councils agreed to withdraw the following
five proposed rules because the Director of Defense Procurement is
conducting an initiative to rewrite FAR Part 45, Government Property,
to make the Government property regulations easier to understand and
less burdensome for both Government and industry. The issues addressed
by these rules will be considered under the Part 45 Rewrite initiative.
FAR Case 91-057, Disposal of Hazardous Government Property

FAR Case 91-114, Use of Government Facilities on a No-Charge Basis

basis, and by describing the obligation of both parties with regard to
the property. [RIN 9000-AF96]
FAR Case 91-117, Use and Charges Clause

pertaining to rental payments for Government-owned real property and

solicitation and acceptable of voluntary refunds from contractors. [RIN
