Disabled (the Committee) administers
the AbilityOne® Program pursuant to
the authority of the Javits-Wagner-O’Day
(JWOD) Act. The Committee is
substituting the term ‘‘disabled’’ for
‘‘handicapped’’ in a term defined in its
regulation. Additionally, the Committee
has deliberated and unanimously voted
to approve the use of ‘‘severely’’
disabled and ‘‘significantly’’ disabled as
interchangeable or synonymous terms
when referring to people who are
severely disabled within the AbilityOne
Program. The Committee’s approval to
use ‘‘severely’’ and significantly’’ as
interchangeable or synonymous terms
within the AbilityOne Program
specifically does not make any change
to the definition of ‘‘severely disabled
individual’’ in the JWOD Act or expand
the population of individuals served
within the AbilityOne Program.
DATES: Effective Date: September 21,
2012.
ADDRESSES: The Committee office is
located at 1421 Jefferson Davis
Highway, Suite 10800, Arlington, VA

Additionally, the Committee is aware
that the term ‘‘severely disabled’’ is no
longer the description of choice of all
disability advocates and terms such as
‘‘significantly disabled’’ have gained
acceptance within the disability
communities. The Committee is also
cognizant that the term ‘‘individual with
a significant disability’’ (instead of
severe disability) was included and
defined in the 1998 reauthorization of
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the
term is being included in other
congressional actions and agency
regulations. In conjunction with the
broader use of the terms ‘‘significant’’
disability and ‘‘significantly’’ disabled,
the AbilityOne Program’s participants,
stakeholders and supporters have
increasingly accepted and used these
terms within the program.
Consequently, in order to ensure
alignment and consistency throughout
the AbilityOne Program, the Committee
has voted to permit use of the terms
‘‘significant’’ or ‘‘significantly’’ as
interchangeable or synonymous with
‘‘severe’’ or ‘‘severely’’ when describing
individuals with severe disabilities who
qualify to participate in the AbilityOne
Program. The action by the Committee
to use the terms interchangeably or
synonymously does not, however, result
in any change to the definition or
eligibility (either expand or narrow) of
the population served in the AbilityOne
Program under the authority of the
JWOD Act. In addition, this action does
not make any change to the statutory
name of the Committee or permit the
use of the synonymous term when
describing the Committee.
The Committee has issued a final rule
because this rule does not have a
significant effect beyond the internal
operating procedures of the AbilityOne
Program and does not have a significant
cost or administrative impact on others
not associated with the AbilityOne
Program. Therefore, public comment is
not required. This interpretive rule is
action by the Committee to ensure that
appropriate terminology is used within
the AbilityOne Program to describe a
significant portion of the people who
are served under this program.
II. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
direct agencies to assess costs, benefits
and burdens of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effective, distributive impacts, and
equity). This is not a significant

regulatory action and, therefore, was not
subject to review under Section 6(b) of
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, dated September
30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule
under 5 U.S.C. 804; therefore,
Congressional notification is not
required.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Because notice and opportunity for
comment are not required pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553 or any other law, the
analytical requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.) are inapplicable. Therefore, a
regulatory flexibility analysis is not
required and has not been prepared.
Administrative Procedure Act
The Committee finds under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(A) that the statute does not
apply to interpretive rules, general
statements of policy, or rules of agency
organization, procedure, or practice.
This final rule simply substitutes a word
in a term defined in the regulation and
authorizes the use of specific
interchangeable or synonymous terms
when describing individuals who are
eligible to participate in the AbilityOne
Program. Further, pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(A), this rule of agency
organization, procedure and practice is
not subject to the requirement to
provide prior notice and an opportunity
for public comment. The Committee
also finds that the 30-day delay in
effectiveness, required under 5 U.S.C.
553(d), is inapplicable because this rule
is not a substantive rule.
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
The Committee has determined that
the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq., does not apply because this
rule does not contain any information
collection requirements that require
approval of OMB.

ACTION: Publication of 2010 final theft
data.
AGENCY:
This document publishes the
final data on thefts of model year (MY)
2010 passenger motor vehicles that
occurred in calendar year (CY) 2010.
The final 2010 theft data indicated a
decrease in the vehicle theft rate
experienced in CY/MY 2010. The final
theft rate for MY 2010 passenger
vehicles stolen in calendar year 2010 is
1.17 thefts per thousand vehicles, a
decrease of 12.03 percent from the rate
of 1.33 thefts per thousand in 2009.
Publication of these data fulfills
NHTSA’s statutory obligation to
periodically obtain accurate and timely
theft data and publish the information
for review and comment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NHTSA
administers a program for reducing
motor vehicle theft. The central feature
of this program is the Federal Motor
Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard, 49
CFR part 541. The standard specifies
performance requirements for inscribing
and affixing vehicle identification
numbers (VINs) onto certain major
original equipment and replacement
parts of high-theft lines of passenger
motor vehicles.
The agency is required by 49 U.S.C.
33104(b)(4) to periodically obtain, from
the most reliable source, accurate and
timely theft data and publish the data
for review and comment. To fulfill this
statutory mandate, NHTSA has
published theft data annually beginning
with MYs 1983/84. Continuing to fulfill
the § 33104(b)(4) mandate, this
document reports the final theft data for
CY 2010, the most recent calendar year
for which data are available.
In calculating the 2010 theft rates,
NHTSA followed the same procedures it
used in calculating the MY 2009 theft
rates. (For 2009 theft data calculations,
see 76 FR 65610, October 24, 2011). As
in all previous reports, NHTSA’s data
were based on information provided to
NHTSA by the National Crime
Information Center (NCIC) of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation. The
NCIC is a government system that
receives vehicle theft information from
nearly 23,000 criminal justice agencies
and other law enforcement authorities
throughout the United States. The NCIC
data also include reported thefts of selfinsured and uninsured vehicles, not all
of which are reported to other data
sources.
The 2010 theft rate for each vehicle
line was calculated by dividing the
number of reported thefts of MY 2010
vehicles of that line stolen during
calendar year 2010 by the total number
of vehicles in that line manufactured for
MY 2010, as reported to the
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA).
The final 2010 theft data show a
decrease in the vehicle theft rate when
compared to the theft rate experienced
in CY/MY 2009. The final theft rate for
MY 2010 passenger vehicles stolen in
calendar year 2010 decreased to 1.17

AGENCY: Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely
Disabled.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or
Severely Disabled (the Committee) administers the AbilityOne[supreg]
Program pursuant to the authority of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day (JWOD)
Act. The Committee is substituting the term ``disabled'' for
``handicapped'' in a term defined in its regulation. Additionally, the
Committee has deliberated and unanimously voted to approve the use of
``severely'' disabled and ``significantly'' disabled as interchangeable
or synonymous terms when referring to people who are severely disabled
within the AbilityOne Program. The Committee's approval to use
``severely'' and significantly'' as interchangeable or synonymous terms
within the AbilityOne Program specifically does not make any change to
the definition of ``severely disabled individual'' in the JWOD Act or
expand the population of individuals served within the AbilityOne
Program.
DATES: Effective Date: September 21, 2012.
ADDRESSES: The Committee office is located at 1421 Jefferson Davis
Highway, Suite 10800, Arlington, VA 22202-3259.

Disabled, 1421 Jefferson Davis Hwy., Suite 10800, Arlington, VA 22202-
3259.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely
Disabled (Committee) administers the AbilityOne[supreg] Program
pursuant to the authority of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day (JWOD) Act (41
U.S.C. 8501et seq.). The AbilityOne Program provides employment
opportunities for people who are blind or have other severe
disabilities through the manufacture and delivery of products and
services to the Federal Government. 41 U.S.C. 8503(d) authorizes the
Committee to make rules and regulations necessary to carry out the
purpose of the Act and the Committee has done so at 41 CFR Chapter 51.
Within the AbilityOne Program, the term ``severely disabled'' is used
to describe people with severe disabilities who qualify to participate
in the program; however, within the Committee's regulation, the terms
other severely handicapped and severely handicapped individuals are
used to define persons with severe disabilities. The Committee is
amending its regulation to correct the terminology and remove
references to ``handicap'' or ``handicapped'' in the list of
definitions.
Additionally, the Committee is aware that the term ``severely
disabled'' is no longer the description of choice of all disability
advocates and terms such as ``significantly disabled'' have gained
acceptance within the disability communities. The Committee is also
cognizant that the term ``individual with a significant disability''
(instead of severe disability) was included and defined in the 1998
reauthorization of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the term is being
included in other congressional actions and agency regulations. In
conjunction with the broader use of the terms ``significant''
disability and ``significantly'' disabled, the AbilityOne Program's
participants, stakeholders and supporters have increasingly accepted
and used these terms within the program. Consequently, in order to
ensure alignment and consistency throughout the AbilityOne Program, the
Committee has voted to permit use of the terms ``significant'' or
``significantly'' as interchangeable or synonymous with ``severe'' or
``severely'' when describing individuals with severe disabilities who
qualify to participate in the AbilityOne Program. The action by the
Committee to use the terms interchangeably or synonymously does not,
however, result in any change to the definition or eligibility (either
expand or narrow) of the population served in the AbilityOne Program
under the authority of the JWOD Act. In addition, this action does not
make any change to the statutory name of the Committee or permit the
use of the synonymous term when describing the Committee.
The Committee has issued a final rule because this rule does not
have a significant effect beyond the internal operating procedures of
the AbilityOne Program and does not have a significant cost or
administrative impact on others not associated with the AbilityOne
Program. Therefore, public comment is not required. This interpretive
rule is action by the Committee to ensure that appropriate terminology
is used within the AbilityOne Program to describe a significant portion
of the people who are served under this program.
II. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess costs,
benefits and burdens of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effective, distributive impacts, and equity). This is
not a significant
[[Page 58500]]
regulatory action and, therefore, was not subject to review under
Section 6(b) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
dated September 30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C.
804; therefore, Congressional notification is not required.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Because notice and opportunity for comment are not required
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or any other law, the analytical requirements
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are
inapplicable. Therefore, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not
required and has not been prepared.
Administrative Procedure Act
The Committee finds under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(A) that the statute
does not apply to interpretive rules, general statements of policy, or
rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice. This final rule
simply substitutes a word in a term defined in the regulation and
authorizes the use of specific interchangeable or synonymous terms when
describing individuals who are eligible to participate in the
AbilityOne Program. Further, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(A), this
rule of agency organization, procedure and practice is not subject to
the requirement to provide prior notice and an opportunity for public
comment. The Committee also finds that the 30-day delay in
effectiveness, required under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), is inapplicable because
this rule is not a substantive rule.
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
The Committee has determined that the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq., does not apply because this rule does not contain
any information collection requirements that require approval of OMB.
