[Docket Number 2015-0007]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense 
(DoD).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Defense Acquisition Regulations System has submitted to 
OMB for clearance, the following proposal for collection of information 
under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 
35).

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by June 29, 
2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title, Associated Forms, and OMB Number: Defense Federal 
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) part 245, Government 
Property, and the following related clauses and forms: DFARS 252.245-
7003, Contractor Property Management System Administration; 252.245-
7004, Reporting, Reutilization, and Disposal; DD Form 1348-1A, DoD 
Single Line item Release/Receipt Document; DD Form 1639, Disposal 
Determination/Approval; OMB Control Number 0704-0246.
    Type of Request: Extension.
    Number of Respondents: 1,840.
    Responses per Respondent: 14.9, approximately.
    Annual Responses: 27,404.
    Average Burden per Response: 1 hour, approximately.
    Annual Burden Hours: 28,283.
    Needs and Uses: This requirement provides for the collection of 
information related to providing Government property to contractors; 
contractor use and management of Government property; and reporting, 
redistribution, and disposal of property.
    a. DFARS 245.302(1)(i): DFARS 245.302 concerns contracts with 
foreign governments or international organizations. Paragraph (1)(i) 
requires contractors to request and obtain contracting officer approval 
before using Government property on work for foreign governments and 
international organizations.
    b. DFARS 245.604-3(b) and (d): DFARS 245.604-3 concerns the sale of 
surplus Government property. Under paragraph (b), a contractor may be 
directed by the plant clearance officer to issue informal invitations 
for bids. Under paragraph (d), a contractor may be authorized by the 
plant clearance officer to purchase or retain Government property at 
less than cost if the plant clearance officer determines this method is 
essential for expeditious plant clearance.
    c. DFARS 252.245-7003: This clause entitled, Contractor Property 
Management System Administration, and DFARS 245.105, Contractor's 
Property Management System Compliance, address the requirement for 
contractors to respond in writing to initial and final determinations 
from the administrative contracting officer that identifies 
deficiencies in the contractor's property management system. The burden 
for this reporting requirement was previously approved under OMB 0704-
0480 and is being incorporated into 0704-0246 in order to consolidate 
all DFARS part 245 requirements under one OMB clearance.
    d. DD Form 1348-1A, DoD Single Line Item Release/Receipt Document, 
is prescribed at DFARS 245.7001-3 and the form is used when authorized 
by the plant clearance officer.
    e. DD Form 1639, Scrap Warranty, is prescribed in the clause at 
DFARS 252.245-7004, Reporting, Reutilization, and Disposal. When scrap 
is sold by the contractor, after Government approval, the purchaser of 
the scrap material(s) may be required to certify, by signature on the 
DD Form 1639, that (i) the purchased material will be used only as 
scrap and (ii), if sold by the purchaser, the purchaser will obtain an 
identical warranty from the individual buying the scrap from the 
initial purchaser. The warranty contained in the DD Form 1639 expires 
by its terms five years from the date of the sale.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Frequency: On occasion.
