Download as PDF 70748 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 234 / Wednesday, December 6, 2006 / Notices PWALKER on PRODPC60 with NOTICES Subsequently, complainant filed for a State fair hearing with the SLA. A hearing on this matter was held on May 22 and June 19, 2002. On April 11, 2003, the hearing officer affirmed that complainant failed to establish any violations by the SLA regarding complainant’s four grievances and the SLA’s administration of the Nevada Randolph-Sheppard vending facility program. However, the hearing officer ruled that the complainant should not be responsible for the lease payments for his business vehicle for Facility #43 while a vending company serviced his vending route. The SLA adopted the hearing officer’s decision as final agency action. The complainant sought review of that decision by a Federal arbitration panel. Arbitration Panel Decision After reviewing all of the records and hearing testimony of witnesses, the panel majority ruled that—(1) The complainant was never appointed the Southern Nevada Representative and, therefore, had no first right of refusal for new vending routes in southern Nevada; (2) because the complainant completed all of the requirements of the corrective action plan, the SLA must place him back to work either into his previous position or in a suitable route but that there should be no damages because his net compensation during the time he was removed from the route had not diminished; (3) the SLA had fulfilled the order of the State hearing officer by paying for lease and insurance payments on complainant’s vehicle because the complainant had been deducting these expenses from the setaside normally paid to the SLA; (4) the loaning of start-up funds to the vendor by the SLA was not in violation of the Act; and (5) the arbitration hearing was not the proper venue for allegations that one of the panel members should have recused himself from the panel. One panel member dissented from one of the panel’s rulings—that the SLA should return the complainant to his previous vending route or a similar vending route—based upon the belief that an arbitration panel does not have the authority to specify an award to the vendor even when a violation of the Act has been found. One panel member dissented from the entirety of panel’s decision with the exception of the panel’s ruling that the SLA should return the complainant to his previous vending route or a similar vending route. The views and opinions expressed by the panel do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of the U.S. Department of Education.
