Item Subject FAR case Analyst I Government Property 2004-025 Parnell. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary for the FAR rule follows. For the actual revisions and/or amendments refer to FAR case 2004-025.
FAC 2005-17 amends the FAR as specified below:
Item I—Government Property (FAR Case 2004-025)
This final rule amends Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 45, Government Property, and associated FAR language and clauses to implement a policy that fosters efficiency, flexibility, innovation and creativity while continuing to protect the Government's interest. This rule simplifies procedures, clarifies language, and eliminates obsolete requirements related to the management and disposition of Government property in the possession of contractors by moving, clarifying, and deleting definitions; establishing a life-cycle approach to property management; and, sanctioning the use of consensus standards and/or industry-leading standards and practices for property management. This rule deletes outdated clauses, combines selected FAR property clauses into a single clause, and implements a new clause designed for military base and installation-level contracts awarded under the OMB Circular A-76 process. FAR language and associated clauses for special tooling, special test equipment and facilities contracts is deleted. It is not the Government's intention to change the intent or meaning of the language pertaining to “title to Government property.”
