                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION
 
PART 45--GOVERNMENT PROPERTY--Table of Contents
 
     Subpart 45.4--Contractor Use and Rental of Government Property
 
45.403  Rental--Use and Charges clause.

    (a) The contracting officer shall charge contractors rent for using 
Government production and research property, except as prescribed in 
45.404 and 45.405. Rent shall be computed in accordance with the clause 
at 52.245-9, Use and Charges. If the agency head or designee determines 
it to be in the Government's interest, rent for classes of production 
and research property other than plant equipment identified in item (ii) 
of Table I of the clause at 52.245-9, Use and Charges, may be charged on 
the basis of use rather than the rental period, or on some other 
equitable basis. In such cases, the clause at 52.245-9, Use and Charges, 
shall be appropriately modified.
