Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service (DRMS) Form 1645, DRMS Form 2006, and Standard Form (SF) 114A
SUPPORTING STATEMENT
A. Justification:
1. Need for the Information Collection
This is a request for OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act for collection of data to be submitted by DoD representatives to assess the ability of prospective purchasers to comply with applicable laws and regulations before the DoD Components sell the materiel. The Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service (DRMS) Form 1645, “Statement of Intent,” and Standard Form (SF) 114A, “Sale of Government Property – Item Bid Page – Sealed Bid,” are used to identify the nature of the purchaser's business, where the materials will be stored, and what their intentions are with the materiel, i.e., use the materiel as intended, re-sell to others, scrap the materiel for recovery of contents, re-refine or reprocess the materiel. The forms are used to determine if the DRMS Form 2006, “Pre-Award/Post-Award On-site Review,” will also be needed to determine if the purchaser is capable of meeting environmental and hazardous material handling responsibilities. DoD Components complete the DRMS Form 2006 to determine whether the prospective purchaser meets the responsibility criteria in part 102 of Title 41, Code of Federal Regulations before the DoD Components can make an award of hazardous and dangerous property. The information is provided by the sales customer who is submitting a bid for materiel.
2. Use of the Information
The information is used by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Disposition Services, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), and the Military Services for transfers of hazardous and dangerous property to parties outside DoD control. All individuals or businesses that are the attempting to purchase DoD property must submit a DRMS Form 1645 and have a SF114A. The information on the forms serves as a type of bid for DoD property and to ensure recipient’s eligibility to conduct business with the government. All individuals or businesses that are attempting to purchase DoD property identified as hazardous and dangerous property must have a DLA Disposition Services representative complete a DRMS Form 2006. This form is used to ensure recipient’s eligibility to conduct business with the government. The site survey is performed for the purpose of physically assessing the purchaser’s destination facilities and the operation thereof, including competency regarding the management of hazardous property, capacity, storage, processing, use, and transportation.
3. Use of Information Technology
For those individuals or firms who have the capability to access the Internet, they have the option of either downloading and mailing the DRMS Form 2006, DRMS Form 1645 or SF 114A or, submitting the form electronically.
4. Non-Duplication
There is no duplication. This information is not available through any other means.
5. Burden on Small Business
There is no significant impact on small businesses. All recipients of this kind of property undergo a clearance check before the property is transferred. References to record-keeping pertain to those records that a recipient uses and maintains in the normal course of business.
6. Consequences of Not Collecting
The forms described in this information collection request will be used to collect information needed to facilitate appropriate clearance checks. Release of DoD property without these clearance checks poses a risk to national security, because individuals and countries, whose interests are counter to those of the United States, target property for their military utility and value. These concerns were established as a result of Congressional hearings, numerous investigations and seizures conducted by the U.S. Customs Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Defense Criminal Investigative Service and U.S. Attorney’s General task forces. These forms address Congressional, General Accounting Office, and DoD Inspector General findings.
7. Paperwork Reduction Act Guidelines
There are no special circumstances. This collection is consistent with 5 CFR 1320.5(d)(2).
8. Consultation and Public Comments
Information regarding this collection is being presented in the Preamble of the Proposed Rule. The Public has the opportunity to comment at that time. All comments will be adjudicated as necessary.
9. Gifts or Payment
No payments or gift will be provided to the respondents.
10. Confidentiality
Information will be protected to the extent permitted by law.
11. Sensitive Questions
These forms require recipients to provide, among other things, certain personal information, as well as, the name and address of their business, what they intend to do with the property, that they are not debarred or prohibited from doing business with the government, and that they will comply with federal regulations and laws regarding use, transfers, and exports. In addition, the forms require that the corporate officers, directors, partners or agents separately provide similar personal information.
12. Estimates of Respondent Burden and Annual Costs
The burden to respondent consists of allowing a DLA Disposition Services Environmental Protection Specialist (EPS) to perform the Pre-Award/Post-Award survey while the EPS completes the form. The burden to respondent for the DRMS Form 1645 and SF 114A consists of filling out a statement of intent to be included with their bid to purchase government property. DLA estimates approximately 72 DRMS 2006 forms, 72 DRMS 1645 forms, and 45 SF 114A forms are completed per year.

14. Estimated Annual Cost to the Federal Government
Costs to the Government include costs for the Environmental Protection Specialist (EPS) to travel to the Purchasers Facility, Time to fill out paperwork, and Time to complete the survey.
Cost to process DRMS Form 1645
GS-12, 1 employee, 36 hours/annual @ $33.30 = $1,198.80
Total Estimated Cost for DRMS Form 1645: $1,198.80
Cost to process SF 114A
GS-12, 1 employee, 18 hours/annual @ $33.30 = $599.40
Total Estimated Cost for SF 114A: $599.40
Transportation Costs for DRMS Form 2006: $1,680.00
One GS-12, traveling 2.0 hour @ $33.30 x 72 times/year = $4,795.20
Traveling 100 miles/24miles per gallon x 72 times/year x $3.50 gallon fuel = $1,050
Sub Total for DRMS Form 2006: $4,795.20 + $1,050 + $1,680 = $7,525.20
Cost to process DRMS Form 2006
GS-12, 1 employee, 90 hours/annual @ $33.30 = $2,997
Total Estimated Cost for DRMS Form 2006: $7,525.20 + $2,997 = $10,522.20.
TOTAL COST TO GOVERNMENT: $1,198.80 + $599.40 + $10,522.20 = $12,320.40
