  2. Executive Order 12866

    This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, is not subject to review under section 6(b) of Executive Order 12866,

    Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993. This is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.

  3. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    DoD does not expect this proposed rule 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 the proposed rule imposes no new requirements on small businesses. It makes no significant change to DoD policy regarding the management of Government property in the possession of contractors.

    Therefore, DoD has not performed an initial regulatory flexibility analysis. DoD invites comments from small businesses and other interested parties on the expected impact of this rule on small entities.

    DoD also will consider comments from small entities concerning the affected DFARS subparts in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Such comments should be submitted separately and should cite DFARS Case 2009-D008.

  4. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The information collection requirements of the Defense Federal

    Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) part 245, Government

    Property, related clauses in DFARS part 252, and related forms in DFARS part 253, have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget

    (OMB) under OMB Control Number 0704-0246. No new information collection requirements are imposed by this proposed rule.

    List of Subjects in 48 CFR Parts 201, 245, and 252

    Government procurement.

    Ynette R. Shelkin,

    Plant clearance officers shall verify inventory schedules to determine the following:

    (1) Allocability.

    (i) Review contract requirements, delivery schedules, bills of material, and other pertinent documents to determine whether schedules include property that--

    (A) Is appropriate for use on the contract; or

    Property will be screened DoD-wide, including the contracting agency, requiring agency and, as appropriate, the General Services

    Administration. The requiring agency shall have priority for retention of listed items. All required screening must be completed before any surplus contractor inventory sale can take place. The plant clearance officer shall arrange for inspection of property at the contractor's plant if requested by a prospective transferee, in such a manner as to avoid interruption of the contractor's operations. 245.602-70 Plant clearance procedures.

    (3) Noncompetitive sales.

    (i) Noncompetitive sales include purchases or retention at less than cost by the contractor. Noncompetitive sales may be made when--

    (B) The Government's interests are adequately protected.

    (ii) Noncompetitive sales shall be at fair and reasonable prices, not less than those reasonably expected under competitive sales.

    (iii) Conditions justifying non-competitive sales are--

    (A) No acceptable bids are received under competitive sale;

    (B) Anticipated proceeds do not warrant competitive sale;

    (C) Specialized nature of the property would not create bidder interest;

    (D) Removal of the property would reduce its value or result in disproportionate handling expenses; or

    (E) Such action is essential to the Government's interests.

    (B) B--New, used, repaired, or reconditioned property; serviceable and issuable or for its intended purpose but restricted from issue to specific units, activities, or geographical areas because of its limited usefulness or short service-life expectancy; includes material and remaining shelf life of three to six months.

    (C) F--Economically reparable property which requires repair, overhaul or reconditioning; includes reparable items which are radioactively contaminated.

    (D) H--Property which has been determined to be unserviceable and does not meet repair criteria.

    Excluded from Procurement Programs;

    (2) The sales contract or other document forbids exports by purchasers and subpurchasers to Communist areas (FAR 25.702) or other prohibited destinations; and

    (3) Sale or other disposition of foreign inventory by the contractor, including sale to foreign governments, requires that the sales contract or other document transferring title include the following certificate:

    Demilitarization Manual, DoD 4160.21-M-1, edition in effect as of the date of this contract. The plant clearance officer may authorize the purchaser to perform the demilitarization provided the property is not inherently dangerous to public health and safety.

    (g) Classified contractor inventory. The Contractor shall dispose of classified contractor inventory in accordance with applicable security guides and regulations or as directed by the contracting officer.

    (h) Inherently dangerous inventory. Contractor inventory dangerous to public health or safety shall not be donated or otherwise disposed of unless rendered innocuous or until adequate safeguards are provided.

    (j) Disposal of scrap.

    (1) Contractor with an approved scrap procedure.

    (i) The Contractor shall submit for approval to the property administrator a procedure for the untability and management of scrap. The procedure shall, at a minimum, provide for the effective and efficient disposition of scrap so as to minimize costs and maximize sales proceeds; and contain the necessary internal controls for mitigating the improper release of non-scrap property.

    Government- and contractor-owned scrap may be commingled, with plant clearance officer concurrence, when determined to be effective and efficient.

    (ii) Once approved by the property administrator, the plant clearance officer may authorize routine disposal of scrap.

    (2) The property administrator may waive the requirement for an approved scrap procedure if the amount of scrap produced or to be produced is minimal and poses little risk.

    (3) Scrap warranty.

    (i) The Contractor shall require all buyers of scrap to sign a

    DD Form 1639, Scrap Warranty.

    (ii) The Contracting Officer may release the Contractor from the terms of the scrap warranty in return for consideration paid to the

    Government. The consideration will represent the difference between--

    (A) The sale price of the scrap; and

    (B) A fair and reasonable price for the material if it had been sold for purposes other than scrap.

    (iii) The Contractor shall pay the consideration to the

    Government and the Government may execute the release even though the contract containing the warranty was not made directly with the

    Government.

    (iv) If the scrap is resold to a second buyer, the first buyer shall obtain a scrap warranty from the second buyer. Upon receipt of the second buyer's scrap warranty, the Government will release the first buyer from liability under the original warranty.

    (k) Disposal of contractor inventory for NATO cooperative projects.

    (1) North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) cooperative project agreements may include disposal provisions of jointly acquired property without regard to any applicable disposal laws of the United States.

    (2) Disposal of such property includes transfer of U.S. interests in the property to one of the other governments participating in the agreements, or the sale of the property.

    (3) Payment for the transfer or sale of any U.S. interest shall be made in accordance with the terms of the project agreement.

    (l) Sale of surplus contractor inventory.

    (1) The Contractor or its employees shall submit their bids to the plant clearance officer prior to soliciting bids from other prospective bidders.

    (2) The Contractor shall solicit a sufficient number of bidders to obtain adequate competition and use formal invitations for bid, unless the plant clearance officer approves use of informal bid procedures. The Contractor shall include in its invitation for bids, the sales terms and conditions provided by the plant clearance officer.

    (3) The Contractor shall solicit bids at least 15 calendar days before bid opening to allow adequate opportunity to inspect property and prepare bids.

    (4) For large sales, the Contractor may use summary lists of items offered as bid sheets with detailed descriptions attached.

    (5) In addition to mailing or delivering notice of the proposed sale to prospective bidders, the Contractor may (when the results are expected to justify the additional expense) display a notice of the proposed sale in appropriate public places, e.g., publish a sales notice in appropriate trade journals or magazines and local newspapers.

    (6) When the acquisition cost of the property to be sold at one time, in one place, is $250,000 or more, the Contractor shall send a notice of the proposed sale to FedBizOpps (http://www.fbo.gov).

    (7) The plant clearance officer or representative will witness the bid opening. Within two working days after bid opening, the

    Contractor will submit to the plant clearance officer, either electronically or manually, two copies of the bid abstract.

    (8) When demilitarization of property is required, whether on or off contractor or Government premises, the sales contract must include the following provisions:

    (i) Demilitarization. Item(s) -------- require demilitarization by the Purchaser. Insert item number(s) and specific demilitarization requirements for item(s) shown in Defense

    Demilitarization Manual, DoD 4160.21-M-1, edition in effect as of the date of this contract.

    (ii) Demilitarization on Government or non-Government premises.

    Property requiring demilitarization shall be demilitarized by the

    Purchaser under the supervision of qualified Department of Defense personnel. Property requiring demilitarization shall not be removed, and title shall not pass to the Purchaser, until demilitarization has been accomplished and verified by a Government representative.

    Demilitarization will be accomplished as specified in the contract.

    The Purchaser agrees to assume all costs incident to the demilitarization and to restore the working area to its present condition after removing the demilitarized property.

    (iii) Failure to demilitarize. If the Purchaser fails to demilitarize the property as specified in the contract, the

    Contractor may, upon giving ten days written notice from date of mailing to the Purchaser--

    (A) Repossess, demilitarize, and return the property to the

    Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby agrees to pay to the Contractor, prior to the return of the property, all costs incurred by the
