Defense Acquisition Regulations System

[Docket Number DARS-2016-0035; OMB Control Number 0704-0557]


Information Collection Requirement; Defense Federal Acquisition 
Regulation Supplement; Government Property; 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.

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by April 
25, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title, Associated Form, and OMB Number: Defense Federal Acquisition 
Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Part 245, Use of the Government Property 
Clause for Repair of Government-furnished Property; OMB Control Number 
0704-0557.
    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit entities and not-
for-profit institutions.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Type of Request: New submission.
    Reporting Frequency: On occasion.
    Number of Respondents: 766.
    Responses per Respondent: 5.6.
    Annual Responses: 4,290.
    Average Burden per Response: .5 hours.
    Annual Response Burden Hours: 2,145 (includes 1,762 response hours 
plus 383 recordkeeping hours).
    Needs and Uses: The information collected is a result of a new 
DFARS requirement to use FAR clause 52.245-1, Government Property, in 
purchase orders for repair, maintenance, overhaul, or modification of 
Government property, regardless of the unit acquisition cost of the 
items to be repaired. Updated information for fiscal year 2018 awards 
of purchase orders for repairs was obtained from the Federal 
Procurement Data System to update the number of respondents, responses, 
and annual burden hours for the information collection and this notice.
    The property records, receiving reports, and receipt provided in 
the Wide Area WorkFlow system are used by DoD for Government property 
accountability. The DFARS requirement for electronic notification of 
receipt provides assurance to the Government that repair assets have 
arrived at the contractor's repair facility. Moreover, in the case of 
repair items provided under purchase orders, contractors need only 
report the receipt of the repair item; no other reporting is required. 
Submission of the information for purchase orders for repairs 
facilitates compliance with DoD Instruction 4161.02 entitled 
``Accountability and Management of Government Contract Property,'' 
which requires DoD components to use electronic transactions when 
transferring Government property to a contractor and upon return of 
property to DoD.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra. Comments and recommendations 
on the proposed information collection should be sent to Ms. Jasmeet 
Seehra, DoD Desk Officer, at [email protected]. Please
