ACTION: Notice of arbitration decisions.
AGENCY:
The Department of Education
(Department) is changing the way it
notifies the public of arbitration panel
decisions under the Randolph-Sheppard
Act. The Department will no longer
publish detailed synopses of each
decision in the Federal Register. Rather,
the Department will publish a quarterly
notice in the Federal Register listing
any decisions reached in the previous
three months. The full text of the
decisions will be available on the
Department’s Web site and by request.
This notice lists decisions from the first
two quarters of 2017 and available
decisions from 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For the
purpose of providing blind persons with
remunerative employment, enlarging
their economic opportunities, and
stimulating greater efforts to make
themselves self-supporting, the
Randolph-Sheppard Act, 20 U.S.C. 107
et seq. (Act), authorizes blind persons to
operate vending facilities on Federal
property and provides them with a
priority for doing so. The vending
facilities include, among other things,
cafeterias, snack bars, and automatic
vending machines. The Department
administers the Act and designates an
agency in each State–-the State
Licensing Agency (SLA)—to license
blind persons to operate vending
facilities on Federal and other property
in the State.
The Act requires arbitration of
disputes between SLAs and blind
vendors and between SLAs and Federal
agencies before three-person panels
convened by the Department whose
decisions constitute final agency action.
20 U.S.C. 107d–1. The Act also makes
these decisions matters of public record
and requires their publication in the
Federal Register. 20 U.S.C. 107d–2(c).

practice has been to publish in the
Federal Register detailed synopses of
