Item I--Government Property (FAR Case 2004-025)
This final rule amends Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part
45, Government Property, and associated FAR language and clauses to
implement a policy that fosters efficiency, flexibility, innovation and
creativity while continuing to protect the Government's interest. This
rule simplifies procedures, clarifies language, and eliminates obsolete
requirements related to the management and disposition of Government
property in the possession of contractors by moving, clarifying, and
deleting definitions; establishing a life-cycle approach to property
management; and, sanctioning the use of consensus standards and/or
industry-leading standards and practices for property management. This
rule deletes outdated clauses, combines selected FAR property clauses
into a single clause, and implements a new clause designed for military
base and installation-level contracts awarded under the OMB Circular A-
76 process. FAR language and associated clauses for special tooling,
special test equipment and facilities contracts is deleted. It is not
the Government's intention to change the intent or meaning of the
language pertaining to ``title to Government property.''

Acting Director, Contract Policy Division.
