property in the possession of contractors. This regulatory action was 
not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive 
Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993. This is not a major rule under 5 
U.S.C. 804.

DATES: Comments on the proposed rule should be submitted in writing to 
the FAR Secretariat at the address shown below on or before August 1, 
1997 to be considered in the formulation of the final rule.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties should submit written comments to: 
General Services Administration, FAR Secretariat (MVR), 1800 F Street, 
NW, Room 4035, Washington, DC 20405.
    E-mail comments submitted over Internet should be addressed to:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    On September 16, 1994, the Director, Defense Procurement, published 
in the Federal Register a notice of public hearings and advance notice 
of rulemaking announcing an initiative to rewrite the Government 
property rules in Part 45 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 
and requesting public comments or suggestions. Approximately 500 
comments covering a broad range of property related topics were 
received from 22 entities. The Director, Defense Procurement, convened 
an interagency team to assess the comments and suggestions, recommend 
process improvements, identify overly burdensome Government 
requirements, and simplify the Government property rules. The team 
included representatives from the Departments of Defense, Energy, and 
Transportation, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National 
Institutes of Health, and the National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration. Additional public participation in the rulemaking 
process was obtained through a series of public meetings conducted 
between November 1994 and October 1996. Each meeting was publicized in 
the Federal Register and public suggestions or comments were invited. 
The team's work products also were posted on the Internet 
(www.acq.osd.mil/dp/mpi) to provide additional opportunities for 
Government and public sector participation.
    This proposed rule replaces FAR Part 45 and FAR 52.245 and makes 
conforming changes to FAR Parts 4, 7, 8, 15, 16, 17, 22, 27, 28, 31, 
32, 35, 42, 43, 44, 49, 51, 52, and 53. The significant changes to the 
existing rule are--
    1. Contractor requirements. Contractor requirements have been 
simplified, removed from FAR Part 45, and consolidated in the 
appropriate contract clauses at FAR 52.245.
    2. Definitions. Definitions are consolidated in FAR 52.245-3, 
Government Property Control (three unique definitions are used in FAR 
52.245-5, Rental Charges for Commercial Use), and the number of 
definitions is reduced.
    The following definitions are not used in the proposed contract 
clauses and are deleted:

Accessory item
Auxiliary item
Common item
Contractor acquired property
Contractor inventory
Custodial records
Discrepancies incident to shipment
Facilities
Facility contract
Government production and research property
Individual item record
Line item
Nonseverable and Utility distribution system
Plant clearance
Plant clearance period
Plant equipment
Public body
Reportable property
Reporting Activity
Salvage
Screening completion date
Serviceable or usable property
Stock record
Summary record
Surplus property
Surplus Release Date (SRD)

The terms ``Equipment,'' ``Low value property,'' ``Preventive 
maintenance,'' and ``Sensitive property'' are used in the proposed 
clauses and consequently defined. Although not used in a contract 
clause, a definition of ``Unique Federal property'' is added to clarify 
an entry on proposed SF 1422, ``U.S. Government Property in the Custody 
of Contractors.'' Other definitions have been modified to improve 
clarity and achieve consistency. The definition of ``termination 
inventory'' is modified and moved to FAR Part 49.
    3. Contract clauses. The number of property clauses is reduced from 
19 to 7. Most ``facilities'' clauses are eliminated. Facilities 
contracts are contracts for services (see FAR 37.101) and unique FAR 
coverage is, generally, unnecessary. FAR Subpart 45.4 of the proposed 
rule addresses the limited circumstances under which property 
management contracts might be appropriate. The corresponding contract 
clause is FAR 52.245-6.
    4. Process based property control system. The proposed rule moves 
toward a process-based, rather than a requirements-driven, system.
    5. Tracking, reporting, and inventorying low value property. 
Tracking, reporting, and inventorying property whose acquisition cost 
is $1,500 or less is not required until contract completion or 
termination. Contractors may report the loss, theft, or destruction of, 
or damage to, such property if the property is necessary for continued 
contract performance. Industry representatives estimated that 80 
percent of all property items have acquisition costs less than $1,500. 
Although some industry representatives expressed a preference for a 
higher threshold, the Government does not have and was not presented 
with any data to support an increased threshold. The collection of 
stratified data to permit a reasonable reassessment of the proposed 
threshold is one function of

[[Page 30187]]

the property report discussed in paragraph 7.
    6. Recordkeeping. The number of records contractors must maintain 
is reduced from 19 to 7, and the content of each record has been 
simplified and revised to reflect commercial practice more closely.
    7. Reports. The proposed rule includes a standard form for 
reporting property in a contractor's custody. An agency may require the 
use of equivalent forms when, in the agency's opinion, the standard 
form does not obtain information of a type or in a format necessary for 
the agency's financial or property management obligations.
    8. Special test equipment pre-acquisition screening. The 
requirement currently in FAR 52.245-18(b) to obtain the contracting 
officer's approval prior to fabricating or acquiring special test 
equipment is eliminated.
    9. Title. The clauses at FAR 52.216-7, 52.232-16, and 52.232-32 
have been modified to clarify that the Government obtains title to 
items acquired or fabricated by contractors only when the items' costs 
are allocable as direct costs to Government contracts.
    10. Right to title. The proposed rule contains a ``Special Tooling 
and Special Test Equipment--Right to Title'' clause that provides the 
Government the right, under fixed-price contracts, to take title to 
special tooling or special test equipment items that are not contract 
deliverables if the costs of the tooling or test equipment have been 
allocated as direct costs to a contract. The clause requires the 
Government to exercise that right within specified time periods and 
permits equitable price adjustments if a contractor is required to 
store property subsequent to the Governments assumption of title. Most 
of the recordkeeping requirements in the current ``Special tooling'' 
clause, FAR 52.245-17, are eliminated.
    11. Inventory schedules/Scrap lists. The five inventory schedules 
currently identified in FAR 45.606-5 are replaced by one inventory 
disposal schedule. The requirement to screen scrap for re-utilization 
outside the contracting agency is eliminated. Contractors that have 
Government approved scrap procedures may report scrap on scrap lists in 
lieu of inventory disposal schedules and dispose of the scrap without 
Government approval if the Government fails to provide disposition 
instructions within 60 days following receipt of an acceptable scrap 
list. Contractors similarly may dispose of scrap reported on an 
inventory disposal schedule if the Government fails to provide 
disposition instructions within 120 days following receipt of an 
acceptable inventory disposal schedule.
    12. Screening for disposal. The screening process has been 
simplified and screening times shortened. The screening of scrap is not 
required. The screening period for standard items is reduced from 90 to 
56 days, the limited screening category is eliminated, screening of 
special tooling is reduced from 60 to 25 days, the screening of special 
test equipment that contains general purpose components is reduced from 
90 to 56 days, and the screening period for special test equipment that 
does not contain general purpose components is reduced from 60 to 25 
days.
    13. Rental charges. ``Rental Charges for Commercial Use'' clause, 
FAR 52.245-5, replaces the ``Use and Charges'' clause at FAR 52.245-9. 
The new clause replicates commercial practice by permitting rental 
charges to be based upon appraisals, charges rent only for the time 
property is actually used for commercial purposes, and permits 
negotiation of alternate means for determining a reasonable rental 
charge. These changes should reduce contractor rental costs and 
facilitate the use of Government property for commercial purposes.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    An Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) has been prepared 
and demonstrates that the rule will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq. The IFRA is 
summarized as follows:

    Government contractors have identified the management and 
disposal of Government property in their possession as a significant 
cost driver. Title II of the Federal Property and Administrative 
Services Act of 1949, Public Law 152, as amended requires, in part, 
executive agencies to account for Government property, determine 
when such property is excess, and to dispose of excess Government 
property promptly. Generally, for Government property in the 
possession of contractors, the Government relies on the contractors' 
property management systems to keep the records and generate the 
reports needed to assure the Government's compliance with statutory 
requirements. It is estimated that approximately 4,450 small 
businesses have Government property in their possession. This 
proposed rule substantially decreases the impact of the current FAR 
provisions by simplifying recordkeeping requirements, reducing the 
number of records to be maintained, reducing the number of reports 
to be submitted, eliminating inventory and tracking requirements for 
Government property that has an acquisition cost of $1,500 or less, 
and replacing five inventory schedules with one inventory disposal 
schedule. The small business impact is estimated to be $14,036,842 
or $3,154 per small business Government contractor. That amount is 
not considered significant because the rule applies only to those 
small businesses who request Government property to perform a 
contract or create Government property during contract performance 
and contract prices compensate such contractors for their Government 
property management activities. The records and reports required by 
the proposed rule have been reduced to the minimum necessary to 
assure compliance with the Government's statutory accountability and 
disposal requirements.

    The IRFA has been submitted to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of 
the Small Business Administration. A copy of the IRFA may be obtained 
from the FAR Secretariat. Comments are invited from small businesses 
and other interested parties. Comments from small entities concerning 
the affected FAR parts also will be considered in accordance with 
Section 610 of the Act. Such comments must be submitted separately and 
cite FAR Case 95-013 in correspondence.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13) applies 
because the proposed rule imposes reporting or information collection 
requirements, or collections of information from offerors, contractors 
or members of the public which require the approval of the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq. A request for 
review of the information collection requirements has been submitted to 
the Office of Management and Budget under Section 3507(d) of the Act.
    Review of the information collection requirements has been 
requested as a new clearance, ``FAR Part 45, Government Property,'' 
which will replace the present FAR requirements currently approved by 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under OMB Control Number 
9000-0075.
    The information collection includes the requirements relating to 
FAR Part 45 and 52.245.
    a. FAR 52.245-3(f) and Alternate I, paragraph (f) to that clause, 
require contractors to maintain records of Government property.
    b. FAR 52.245-3(h) requires contractors to conduct property 
inventories. The frequency and method used are negotiable.
    c. FAR 52.245-1(f)(4) and Alternate I, paragraph (f)(7), FAR 
52.245-4(f)(7), and FAR 52.245-6(i)(6) require contractors to notify 
the Government promptly following the loss, theft, or destruction of, 
or damage to, Government property.
    d. FAR 52.245-1(f)(5) and Alternate I, paragraph (f)(8), FAR 
52.245-4(f)(8), and

[[Page 30188]]

FAR 52.245-6(i)(7) require contractors to notify the Government upon 
contract completion of low value property (<$1,500 per="" item)="" that="" has="" been="" lost,="" stolen,="" damaged,="" or="" destroyed.="" e.="" far="" 52.245-1(j)(3)="" and="" (j)(4),="" far=""
