B. concerning acquisition of the government property expected to become available. As soon as practicable after the announcement of an C. Reports of property submitted for screening within DoD should be marked to indicate items of interest to the community that could be reported to GSA as related personal property. Since such items may be essential for implementation of the community economic adjustment program, the Office of Economic Adjustment, ASD (I& L) will assist the reporting activity in identifying those items that the community would be eligible to acquire under an existing Federal resource program, i.e., health, education, airport, etc. D. Immediately following completion of the prescribed DoD screening period, a preliminary listing of personal property not required by DoD will be made available to designated community leaders and the Director, Office of Economic Adjustment, ASD(I& L). E. As soon as possible after the preliminary listing of property is available, OEA will arrange for appropriate DoD and Federal agency representatives to meet with community leaders to: 1. Review the community's proposed use plan for the installation, including the requirements for personal property shown on the preliminary DoD listing. 2. Assess the feasibility of the community plan, make recommendations for required changes, and provide advice and counsel concerning actions required by the community to acquire installation property needed to 3. Determine which items of personal property should be reported as related personal property when the real property is reported to GSA. If conflicts concerning the need for property cannot be resolved locally, the matter will be referred to the Director, Economic Adjustment, ASD (I&L) for resolution with the appropriate DoD Component. 4. Consider the feasibility and need for an interim use permit or license that would enable the community to utilize all or part of the installation for civilian purposes pending ultimate disposition by GSA. F. After review and approval by the Director, Office of Economic Adjustment, ASD (I&L), the items to be reported as related personal property will be placed in a holding account pending submission of Form 118C to GSA. Items will not be withdrawn from the holding account without prior notification to the Director, Office of Economic Adjustment, and also to GSA if Standard Form 118C has been submitted. G. All property remaining at the installation except that identified in plans for community use should be reported as DoD excess in accordance with normal procedures. If the community expresses an interest in acquiring excess items not previously included on the approved list as related personal property, standard Federal government disposition procedures will be applicable. H. Consistent with Economic Adjustment Program policy, consideration should be given to the disposition of installation property acquired with non-appropriated funds, if it is not otherwise required and the community is willing to purchase it. I. All property (land, buildings and related personal property) earlier identified as an essential part of the community use plan will be reported to GSA as a complete package (Standard Forms 118a, b and c) at the appropriate time in accordance with prescribed DoD procedures. RELATED TO DOD CONTRACT ACTIVITIES I. OBJECTIVE A. B. C. The objective of the "early warning" system specified in Serious impacts occur in some communities as the result of the combined effect of individual unrelated decisions by various DoD organizations and, sometimes, by prime contractors. When there are multiple causes, the severity of the overall impact normally will not be apparent to the procurement organization of any one Department. However, the overall effect should be evident to the cognizant Contract Administration Services organization. The "early warning" system should consist of two parts: Part I Part II Utilization of information available in organizations responsible for management and acquisition to identify decisions/actions/ changes that could cause serious impacts in communities where contractor plants are located. - Utilization of Contract Administration Services organizations to identify community impacts that occur when multiple Defense decisions focus on a single plant or community and would not otherwise be apparent within DoD. A. Three key elements generally serve as indicators of the severity of a community problem: 1. The number of employees expected to lose jobs in relation to the area workforce. 2. 3. The decline in the flow of Defense dollars in relation to The time phasing of the change. B. Since complete information about the area work force and the local economy may not be readily available to those responsible for identifying impacts, a degree of judgment will be required. For example, the impact would be minimal from a contractor layoff of 250 people in a major metropolitan area. A similar layoff in a smaller community, however, could be a very serious matter. C. The OEA desire is to identify situations likely to develop into impact problems. Orderly time-phased changes usually associated with the completion of procurement contracts should normally be absorbed by the local economy. D. In view of the unique and diverse community situations that underlie the broad contractual interface between DoD and its contractors, it is recognized that some potential impact situations will be identified which ultimately will prove not to be problems. E. The following general parameters are provided as guides in identifying possible impact situations: 1. 2. 3. Closure of any Defense contractor plant employing 200 A plant layoff expected to take place in less than a 6-month period and involving 300 or more employees, or more than 15% of the work force in plants employing more than 2,000. Contractor layoffs that in the aggregate will increase the local unemployment rate by 2% or raise it above the national average. 5. more at a single contractor location. Any similar situation considered likely to be a matter of Congressional interest. III. INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED TO OEA The primary requirement of OEA is for a brief written notice |
