This collection allows the Department of Defense (DoD) and its representatives to assess the ability of prospective purchasers to comply with applicable laws and regulations before the sale of materiel. 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 the buyer’s intentions are with the materiel (i.e., use the materiel as intended, re-sell to others, scrap the materiel for recovery of contents, or re-refine or re-process the materiel). These forms are used to determine if DRMS Form 2006, “Pre-Award/Post-Award On-Site Review,” will also be needed; DRMS Form 2006 allows DoD components to determine if the purchaser is capable of meeting environmental and hazardous material handling responsibilities, in compliance with C.F.R. Part 102 of Title 41. Compliance with this regulation must be ascertained before DoD components may make an award of hazardous and dangerous property.
There are two adjustments to the calculation of burden. First, The previous ICR incorrectly listed the number of respondents as 189; in fact, there are a total number of 189 responses, with some respondents providing multiple responses. The new burden calculation more accurately reflects this reality. Additionally, there was a slight increase in the cost per response, in keeping with current wage trends.
