DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

48 CFR Part 245

 

Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement; Contractor 
Inventory

AGENCY: Department of Defense (DoD).

ACTION: Proposed rule with request for public comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Defense Acquisition Regulations Council is proposing 
changes to the Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS) to raise the threshold 
for screening certain contractor inventory items through the Contractor 
Inventory Redistribution System (CIRS) before disposal.

DATES: Comments on the proposed rule should be submitted to the address 
shown below on or before July 18, 1994 to be considered in the 
formulation of a final rule.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties should submit written comments to: 
Defense Acquisition Regulations Directorate, ATTN: IMD 3D139, OUSD (A), 
3062 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-3062. FAX [phone]. 
Please cite DFARS Case 93-D008 in all correspondence related to this 
case.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Owen Green; [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    This proposed rule amends DFARS 245.608-70(a)(3) by raising the 
threshold for screening serviceable and usable contractor inventory 
with no national stock number through the Contractor Inventory 
Redistribution system. The threshold is raised from $500 to $1,000 to 
coincide with the $1,000 threshold in FAR 45.608-2.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act does not apply because the proposed 
rule is not considered to be a significant revision within the meaning 
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq. It does not 
have a significant impact beyond the internal operating procedures of 
the Department of Defense. An initial regulatory flexibility analysis 
has therefore not been performed. Comments are invited from small 
businesses and other interested parties.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The proposed rule does not impose any reporting or recordkeeping 
requirements which require the approval of OMB under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et 
seq.
