Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 201 / Wednesday, October 19, 2005 / Notices constituted under the bylaws being used by the SLA. Following the April 7 election, the complainants petitioned the SLA to conduct another election. On March 21, 2002, the SLA denied the complainants’ petition. Subsequently, complainants filed for a State evidentiary hearing on the matter that was held on May 30, 2002. Regarding the second part of the complaint, complainants alleged problems with the SLA’s administration of the Nevada vending facility program following an audit at the Hoover Dam by the State Legislative Counsel Bureau (LCB) on April 12, 2001. In particular, the complainants were upset with the audit report that indicated that high levels of set-aside payments were being assessed against the blind vendors. On July 28, 2001, the Committee comprised of the complainants voted to suspend set-aside payments to the SLA for July and August 2001. On October 4, 2001, the SLA, following State rules and regulations, issued to the complainants notices of noncompliance in making timely setaside payments. Dissatisfied with the noncompliance notices, the complainants requested a State evidentiary hearing that was held on March 29 and 30, 2002. On February 28, 2003, a hearing officer affirmed the SLA’s decision to deny complainants’ request for a new election. In that same decision, the hearing officer affirmed the SLA’s issuance of the noncompliance notices regarding complainants’ nonpayment of set-aside payments, but reversed the late payment penalties assessed by the SLA. Additionally, the hearing officer ruled that the Committee had actively participated in setting the set-aside payment schedule, but required the SLA to maintain adequate records to support the set-aside payments charged. The SLA adopted the hearing officer’s February 28 decision as final agency action, and complainants sought review of that decision by a Federal arbitration panel. Arbitration Panel Decision The issues heard by the panel were: (1) Whether the SLA abused its authority, violated the Act, implementing regulations, and the Nevada Administrative Code and the functions of the Committee in conducting a Committee election; (2) whether the complainants’ unilateral decision to withhold payment of setaside fees for the months of July and August 2001 violated the Act and/or applicable Nevada statutory law; (3) whether the SLA had the authority to VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:50 Oct 18, 2005 Jkt 208001 compel the complainants to repay the set-aside payments and/or to impose penalties on the complainants; and (4) whether the SLA was properly administering the vending facility program in accordance with the Act, implementing regulations, and State rules and regulations. After reviewing all of the records and hearing testimony of witnesses, the panel majority ruled concerning the election issue that the SLA acted in substantial compliance with the Act and regulations when it conducted the Committee election in April 2002. Concerning the withholding of setaside payments, the majority of the panel ruled that the complainants’ withholding of set-aside payments in July and August of 2001 was not in compliance with the Act or applicable provisions of the Nevada Administrative Code. Accordingly, the panel directed the complainants to repay the set-aside payments to the SLA but without penalty. Regarding the question of the SLA’s administration of the vending facility program, the majority of the panel ruled that the SLA’s actions were consistent with the Act. One panel member dissented. One panel member concurred with the majority opinion concerning the election of the Committee and complainants’ noncompliance with the Act and regulations in withholding setaside payments from the SLA, but dissented in part regarding the appropriate remedy, believing that the complaints should repay the set-aside fees with penalty. The views and opinions expressed by the panel do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of the U.S. Department of Education.
