Item I--Government Property (FAR Case 2004-025)

    This final rule amends Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 
45, Government Property, and associated FAR language and clauses to 
implement a policy that fosters efficiency, flexibility, innovation and 
creativity while continuing to protect the Government's interest. This 
rule simplifies procedures, clarifies language, and eliminates obsolete

property in the possession of contractors by moving, clarifying, and 
deleting definitions; establishing a life-cycle approach to property 
management; and, sanctioning the use of consensus standards and/or 
industry-leading standards and practices for property management. This 
rule deletes outdated clauses, combines selected FAR property clauses 
into a single clause, and implements a new clause designed for military 
base and installation-level contracts awarded under the OMB Circular A-
76 process. FAR language and associated clauses for special tooling, 
special test equipment and facilities contracts is deleted. It is not 
the Government's intention to change the intent or meaning of the 
language pertaining to ``title to Government property.''
