interested parties, a public meeting is being held.

DATES: The meeting will be held on April 13, 2004, from 9 a.m. to 4 
p.m., local time.

Institute, 2000 Corporate Ridge, Room 2056 (DAU 1/2), Second Floor, 
McLean, VA 22102-7805. General Phone: 703-917-9800. To adequately 
accommodate for space, please RSVP to Tom Ruckdaschel at e-mail address 
tom.ruckdaschel@osd.mil. Any comments intended to be considered as a 

public comment must be submitted separately as a public comment as 
instructed in any future proposed rule.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Tom Ruckdaschel, Office of the 
Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology and Logistics), at 
(703) 604-6350 x101, or tom.ruckdaschel@osd.mil. A copy of the draft

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DoD, GSA, and NASA have drafted a new 
approach to Government Property (FAR Parts 45 and 52) and will be 
discussing the potential changes at a public meeting. The draft 
revisions take a more commercial approach to property stewardship and 
recordkeeping responsibilities and significantly reduce the number of 
property clauses in FAR Part 52.

Laura Auletta,
Director, Acquisition Policy Division.
