(a) ALLOWANCES. The Government may vary the allowances set forth and such variations shall be deemed a change. An appropriate adjustment shall be made in accordance with the procedure provided for in the "Changes" clause of this contract. If the Government so elects, the cloth furnished may be charged to the Contractor's account in units of one yard; where a fraction is less than one-half of one yard, it will not be recorded; where it is one-half of one yard or more, it may be recorded and charged as a full yard. Unless otherwise specified, stated unit allowances are gross, with no reduction for imperfections. If material in widths other than those stated herein is furnished, the applicable unit allowances will be furnished at the time delivery of such material is made. The Contractor shall retain all piece tickets supplied with materials furnished under this contract for a period of 90 days after completion of the contract.
(b) LIABILITY FOR ADDITIONAL PROPERTY. CREDIT FOR PROPERTY RETURNED. Where the Government furnishes more than one type of Government-furnished property, each type furnished will be accounted for between the parties individually and separately.

Savings resulting from the Contractor's use of less than the applicable unit allowance of a particular type of Government-furnished property will revert to the Government, and will not be credited or set off against any excess usages of other types of Government-furnished property by the Contractor. No charge will be made unless the total value of all excess usage exceeds $25.00. In determining whether the Contractor exceeded the unit allowances for each type of property, credit will be given for all property of that type returned undamaged in the form of full pieces and short pieces. No credit will be given for property returned in the form of ends, scrap, or damaged pieces of irreparable items.
(c) PROFICIENT USAGE. The Contractor agrees to cut and use the Government property proficiently in accordance with the best commercial standards and practices employing careful and efficient workers to utilize short pieces, ends, and scrap to the fullest extent possible, consistent with the best and most economical practices; and to produce with a minimum quantity of Government property articles complying in all respects with applicable specifications.
