3623.  CONTRACT FINANCING

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Reinventing Government: This rulemaking is part of the Reinventing 
Government effort. It will revise text in the CFR to reduce burden or

Regulation Supplement in order to establish the procedures for a 
``Shared Savings Clause'' to be used in solicitations and contracts. 
The intent of the clause is to provide an incentive for contractors to 
identify and implement significant cost reduction programs. In return 
they would be eligible for a share of realized savings which result 
from those cost-cutting projects once the projects are approved by the 
contracting officer.

3628.  REVISION TO NASA FAR SUPPLEMENT COVERAGE ON GOVERNMENT

Legal Authority:  42 USC 2473(c)(1)

CFR Citation:  48 CFR 1845; 48 CFR 1852

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule proposes to amend the regulations pertaining to 
Government property reporting by contractors, due to revisions of the 
reporting form, to clarify and simplify the reporting requirements and 
instructions, and make necessary changes to affected provisions and 
clauses. NASA has made extensive changes to its process of financial 
reporting of Government-Owned/Contractor-Held property. These changes 
were made necessary by the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990, 
streamlining required by the National Performance Review, the need

[[Page 23767]]

for more uniformity in reporting requirements between NASA and the 
Department of Defense (DOD), and changing internal management needs for 
information with NASA.
