The
Committee has two annual certification
forms, one for nonprofit agencies
serving people who are blind
(Committee Form 403, OMB Control
Number 3037–0001) and one for
nonprofit agencies primarily serving
people who have other severe
disabilities (Committee Form 404, OMB
Control Number 3037–0002). The
information included on the forms is
required to ensure that nonprofit
agencies that participate in the
Committee’s program meet the
requirements of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (JWOD), 41 U.S.C. 46–48c.
One comment was received in response
to the agency’s 60-day notice informing
the public of the intent to renew this
form with no changes, which was
published in the Federal Register on
February 3, 2009 on page 5913–5914. A
subsequent correction notice was
published on February 13, 2009 on page
7216.

Affected Public: Nonprofit agencies

On February 3, 2009, the Committee
published a notice in the Federal
Register (Volume 74, Number 21, pages
5913–5914). A subsequent correction
notice was published in the Federal
Register on February 13, 2009 (Volume
74, Number 29, page 7216). These
notices requested public comment on
the renewal of annual certification
requirements for nonprofit agencies
participating in the AbilityOne Program.

The comment period lasted 60 days,
ending April 8, 2009. By that date, the
Committee received comments from one
respondent containing four comments.
The respondent concurred that the
Committee has the authority to enforce
conditions for participation in the
program pursuant to the JWOD Act.
However, the respondent inferred that
there is sub-regulatory guidance issued
by the Committee that should instead be
issued through regulation. This
information collection request is limited
to annual reports from participating
nonprofit agencies in the AbilityOne
Program which are not affected by any
sub-regulatory guidance.
The respondent’s next comment
questioned the burden estimate by
indicating there was no justification,
rationale or dollar burden estimate
provided. Much of the respondent’s
comment does not deal with the
reporting of data for the annual
certification under this specific
collection notice, but for the
recordkeeping requirement tracked
under a separate OMB Paperwork
Reduction Act tracking number.
Specific justification for the annual
certification, including burden and cost
estimate, was included in the
supporting documentation provided to
OMB with the renewal request. The
burden estimate used was based on
questions asked during actual
compliance visits to participating
nonprofit agencies and included the
time for entering data into the webbased quarterly system and reviewing
the draft annual certification by the
central nonprofit agencies. As a result of
the Committee’s review of the process,
the previous estimate that had been
used since at least 1992 was doubled.
The Committee has used a cost estimate
of $30 per hour, therefore the estimated
cost to each participating nonprofit
would be $180 or a total burden of
$112,500.
The respondent’s next two comments
included recommendations for
improving the quality, utility and clarity
of reporting by participating nonprofit
agencies and ways to minimize the
burden. While not specifically related to
this information collection renewal
request, the Committee appreciates all
recommendations for improvement in
our information collection and overall
AbilityOne Program efforts.

Deputy Executive Director & COO.
