SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, which
implement provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), require that interested members
of the public and affected agencies have
an opportunity to comment on
information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8(d)). The Committee plans to
submit a request to OMB that the initial
and annual evaluations of competitive
employability required by the
Committee’s regulations (41 CFR 51–
4.3) be done on a standardized form.
The Committee is requesting a 3-year
term of approval for this recordkeeping
activity.
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 JWOD Act of 1971 (41 U.S.C.
Chapter 85) 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
JWOD Act, which are located at 41 CFR
Chapter 51, provide the requirements,
procedures, and standards for the
AbilityOne Program. Section 51–4.3 of
the regulations sets forth the standards
that a nonprofit agency must meet to
maintain qualification for participation
in the AbilityOne Program. Under this
section of the regulations, a nonprofit
agency that wants to continue to
participate in the AbilityOne Program
must conduct evaluations on each
individual performing direct labor to
determine their capability to perform
competitive employment at least
annually.
Overview of This Information
Collection
This recordkeeping request seeks
approval for the Committee to require
the use of a standardized, Committee
developed, form to record the
evaluation beginning in January 2013.
The development of the evaluation form
is the result of consultation with
multiple nonprofit agencies already
participating in the AbilityOne Program
and it is at the request of a number of
these agencies that the Committee is
seeking its mandatory use.
Type of Information Collection: New
collection.
Title: AbilityOne Program Individual
Eligibility Evaluation.
OMB Control Number: 3037–0011.
Form Number: Committee Form IEE.
Description of Respondents:
Nonprofit agencies serving people who
are blind or severely disabled that
participate in the AbilityOne Program.
Annual Number of Respondents:
About 610 nonprofit agencies serving
people who are blind or severely
disabled that participates in the
AbilityOne Program.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: Burden for conducting the
evaluations is included in the
Committee’s recordkeeping requirement
under OMB Control number 3037–005.
It is estimated that requiring the use of
a standardized form will not add to the
recordkeeping burden once training is
completed and the form adopted. The
estimated burden to accomplish the
training is estimated at 2 hours per
agency. Total burden is 1220 hours.
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;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, which implement provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), require that
interested members of the public and affected agencies have an
opportunity to comment on information collection and recordkeeping
activities (see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)). The Committee plans to submit a
request to OMB that the initial and annual evaluations of competitive
employability required by the Committee's regulations (41 CFR 51-4.3)
be done on a standardized form. The Committee is requesting a 3-year
term of approval for this recordkeeping activity.
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 JWOD Act of 1971 (41 U.S.C. Chapter 85) 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 JWOD Act, which are located at
41 CFR Chapter 51, provide the requirements, procedures, and standards
for the AbilityOne Program. Section 51-4.3 of the regulations sets
forth the standards that a nonprofit agency must meet to maintain
qualification for participation in the AbilityOne Program. Under this
section of the regulations, a nonprofit agency that wants to continue
to participate in the AbilityOne Program must conduct evaluations on
each individual performing direct labor to determine their capability
to perform competitive employment at least annually.
Overview of This Information Collection
This recordkeeping request seeks approval for the Committee to
require the use of a standardized, Committee developed, form to record
the evaluation beginning in January 2013. The development of the
evaluation form is the result of consultation with multiple nonprofit
agencies already participating in the AbilityOne Program and it is at
the request of a number of these agencies that the Committee is seeking
its mandatory use.
Type of Information Collection: New collection.
Title: AbilityOne Program Individual Eligibility Evaluation.
OMB Control Number: 3037-0011.
Form Number: Committee Form IEE.
Description of Respondents: Nonprofit agencies serving people who
are blind or severely disabled that participate in the AbilityOne
Program.
Annual Number of Respondents: About 610 nonprofit agencies serving
people who are blind or severely disabled that participates in the
AbilityOne Program.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: Burden for conducting the
evaluations is included in the Committee's recordkeeping requirement
under OMB Control number 3037-005. It is estimated that requiring the
use of a standardized form will not add to the recordkeeping burden
once training is completed and the form adopted. The estimated burden
to accomplish the training is estimated at 2 hours per agency. Total
burden is 1220 hours.
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;
[[Page 26520]]
(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.
