Government property, as used in FAR
Part 45, means all property owned or leased by the Government.
Government property includes both Government-furnished property and
contractor-acquired property. Government property includes
material, equipment, special tooling, special test equipment, and
real property. Government property does not include intellectual
property and software. This part prescribes policies and procedures
for providing Government property to contractors; contractors’
management and use of Government property; and reporting,
redistributing, and disposing of contractor inventory.
The estimates for the public
burden were coordinated with subject matter experts within the
Federal Government in the field of Government property management.
The adjustments to specific requirements under item 13 and 14 of
the supporting statement are based largely on a reduction in the
total number of contractors with Government property from 5,000 to
3,750 and specification of the wage rate as the equivalent of a
GS-11, step 5 position (plus burden published by OMB for 2015) for
calculation purposes.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
