In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, DoD announces the proposed extension of a public information collection requirement and seeks public comment on the provisions thereof.

The DD Form 1639, addressed in paragraph (j)(2) of the clause, is used for the sole purpose of having the purchasers warrant that the property they have purchased will be used only as scrap. DFARS 252.245-7005, paragraph (k), provides procedures for sale of surplus contractor inventory.
The clause at DFARS 252.245-7003, Contractor Property Management System Administration, requires certain contractors to respond in writing to an initial or final determination from the administrative contracting officer that
