48 CFR Part 45
[FAR Case 91-111]
Federal Acquisition Regulation; Commercially Available
Government-Furnished Material
AGENCIES: Department of Defense (DOD), General Services Administration
(GSA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council (CAAC) and the Defense
Acquisition Regulations Council (DARC) are proposing changes to the
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to require contractors to provide
all material for performing Government contracts, except when
Government-furnished material is necessary to achieve significant
economy, standardization, or expedited production, or when it is
otherwise in the Government's interest. Also, material to be furnished
by the Government shall be listed in the contract. This regulatory
action was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review
pursuant to Executive Order No. 12866 dated September 30, 1993.
DATES: Comments should be submitted on or before November 1, 1994 to be
considered in the formulation of a final rule.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties should submit written comments to:
General Services Administration, FAR Secretariat (VRS), 18th & F
Streets, NW, Room 4037, Washington, DC 20405. Please cite FAR case 91-
111 in all correspondence related to this case.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ms. Linda Klein at (202) 501-3775 in reference to this FAR case. For
general information, contact the FAR Secretariat, Room 4037, GS
Building, Washington, DC 20405 (202) 501-4755. Please cite FAR case 91-
111.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The proposed rule is not expected to 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., because only a
small amount of all Government-furnished material by acquisition cost
is accountable to contracts with small business and other interested
parties. An Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis has, therefore, not
been performed. Comments are invited from small businesses and other
interested parties. Comments from small entities concerning the
affected FAR subpart will also be considered in accordance with 5
U.S.C. 610. Such comments must be submitted separately and should cite
5 U.S.C. 601, et seq. (FAR case 91-111), in correspondence.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the proposed
changes to the FAR do not impose recordkeeping 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 under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.
List of Subjects in 48 CFR Part 45
Government procurement.
Dated: August 24, 1994.
Albert A. Vicchiolla,
Director, Office of Federal Acquisition Policy.
Therefore, it is proposed that 48 CFR part 45 be amended as set
forth below:
PART 45--GOVERNMENT PROPERTY
1. The authority citation for 48 CFR part 45 continues to read as
follows:
Authority: 40 U.S.C. 486(c); 10 U.S.C. chapter 137; and 42
U.S.C. 2473(c).
2. Section 45.303-1 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 45.303-1 Policy.
Contractors shall provide all material, especially general purpose,
off-the-shelf commercial property for performing Government contracts,
except when Government-furnished material is necessary to achieve
significant economy, standardization, or expedited production, or when
it is otherwise in the Government's interest. Material to be furnished
by the Government shall be listed in the contract.
