all offerors to list which hazardous 

materials will be labeled in accordance 

with certain statutory requirements 

instead of the Hazard Communication

the clause.

officer of actions taken to correct the 

noncompliance. Paragraph (d)(1) 

requires the contractor to notify the

mishaps involving ammunition or 

explosives. Paragraph (d)(3) requires the 

contractor to submit a written report of 

the investigation of the mishap to the
