Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 21 / Tuesday, February 3, 2009 / Notices
approval of the information collection
concerning initial certification of
nonprofit agencies serving people who
are blind or who have other severe
disabilities to participate in the JavitsWagner-O’Day (JWOD) Program. The
Committee will request a 3-year term of
approval for these information
collection activities.
Federal agencies may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The OMB control
numbers for these collections of
information are 3037–0002 and 3037–
0001.
The Javits-Wagner-O’Day Act of 1971
(41 U.S.C. 46–48c) is the authorizing
legislation for the AbilityOne Program.
The AbilityOne Program creates jobs
and training opportunities for people
who are blind or who have other severe
disabilities. Its primary means of doing
so is by requiring Government agencies
to purchase selected products and
services from nonprofit agencies
employing such individuals. The
AbilityOne Program is administered by
the Committee. Two national,
independent organizations, National
Industries for the Blind (NIB) and NISH,
help State and private nonprofit
agencies participate in the AbilityOne
Program.
The implementing regulations for the
Javits-Wagner-O’Day Act, which are
located at 41 CFR Chapter 51, provide
the requirements, procedures, and
standards for the AbilityOne Program.
Section 51–4.2 of the regulations sets
forth the standards that a nonprofit
agency must meet to qualify for
participation in the AbilityOne Program.
Under this section of the regulations, a
nonprofit agency that would like to
participate in the AbilityOne Program
must submit documentation (e.g.,
articles of incorporation and by-laws)
demonstrating its nonprofit status and a
completed copy of the appropriate
Initial Certification form (Committee
Form 401 or 402). This documentation
helps the Committee determine whether
the applicant nonprofit agency is
appropriate for inclusion in the
AbilityOne Program.
This information collection renewal
request seeks approval for the
Committee to continue to collect the
information required under 41 CFR
51–4.3 of the regulations so that the
Committee can continue to verify the
appropriateness of nonprofit agencies
that would like to participate in the
AbilityOne Program. There are no
changes to these current collection
activities in this renewal request.

burden of the collection of information;
