Abstract

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. DoD invites comments on: whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of DoD, including whether the information will have practical utility; the accuracy of DoD's estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the information collection on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved this information collection for use under Control Number 0704-0246 through January 31, 2027. DoD proposes that OMB approve an extension of the information collection requirement, to expire three years after the approval date.

    The clause at DFARS 252.245-7005 strengthens the accountability and 
end-to-end traceability of Government property within DoD. Paragraph

GFP module of the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE)

completed by individuals or firms that purchase Government property for 
its material content from a Government contractor. 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
