Sunshine Act Notice, 5914 [E9-2327]

Download as PDF yshivers on PROD1PC62 with NOTICES 5914 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.

Title: Initial Certification—Qualified Nonprofit Agency Serving People Who Are Severely Disabled, 41 CFR 51–4.2. OMB Control Number: 3037–0002. Form Number: Committee Form 404. Description of Respondents: Nonprofit agencies serving people who are severely disabled that would like to participate in the AbilityOne Program. Annual Number of Respondents: About 550 nonprofit agencies serving people who are severely disabled will annually request to be newly verified for participation in the AbilityOne Program.

Note: This burden estimate is only for the reporting of information; a separate burden estimate exists for the recordkeeping requirement. We invite comments concerning this renewal on: (1) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of our agency’s functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of our estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents.

This meeting is closed because if open it likely would either disclose matters that would be properly classified to be kept secret in the interest of foreign policy under the appropriate executive order (5 U.S.C. 552b.(c)(1)) or would disclose information the premature disclosure of which would be likely to significantly frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action. (5 U.S.C. 552b.(c)(9)(B)) In addition, part of the discussion will relate solely to the internal personnel and organizational issues of the BBG or the International Broadcasting Bureau. (5 U.S.C. 552b.(c)(2) and (6)) FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Persons interested in obtaining more information should contact Timi Nickerson Kenealy at (202) 203–4545.
