Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 164 / Friday, August 23, 2013 / Notices
The Commission’s regulations,
specifically the section cited, require the
Commission to consider the level of
impact on the current contractor for the
commodity or service being considered
for addition to the Procurement List as
part of its determination that a product
or service is suitable. The Commission
defines the current contractor as the
commercial source from which the
responsible Government contracting
activity is procuring the product or
service that is the subject of a proposed
addition.
Accordingly, the Commission’s
impact analysis finding was that the
Army Contracting Command—Aberdeen
Proving Ground Natick Contracting
Division, on behalf of PM FSS, does not
have a current contract for the provision
of Integrated Prime Vendor Supply
Chain Management Service. Previously,
PM FSS has obtained various
requirements for equipment or related
material through use of various DLA
Prime Vendor contracts, under DLA’s
Special Operational Equipment Tailored
Logistics Support and/or Fire
Emergency Services Programs. No single
vendor was guaranteed to receive orders
from PM FSS; many other DOD
customers make use of the prime vendor
contracts. PM FSS requirements for
kitting or other supply chain
management services required were
obtained through the DLA depot system.
The commenter also questioned
whether the objectives of the proposed
addition were in opposition to the goal
of the AbilityOne Program to create
employment opportunities for people
who are blind or have other significant
disabilities. 41 CFR 51–2.4
Determination of Suitability requires the
Commission to consider the
employment potential of each proposed
addition before it can determine a
product or service suitable for addition
to the Procurement List. In this case, the
Commission determined that there is
employment potential for the workforce
of people who are significantly disabled
in the provision of acquisition support
services, kitting, manufacturing and
design, and warehousing. The
designated nonprofit agency has
identified Full Time Equivalent
positions for more than 33 individuals
with significant disabilities in the
delivery of services.
The commenter specifically
questioned whether the nonprofit
agency would be a pass-through to large
subcontractors, therefore not
maximizing the potential for
employment of people who are blind or
significantly disabled. Commission
regulations permit the subcontracting of
a portion of the process for producing a
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
product or providing a service on the
Procurement List, provided that the
portion of the process retained by the
nonprofit agency generates employment
for people who are blind or have
significant disabilities. Subcontracting
that is intended to be a routine part of
production is required to be identified
to the Commission at the time of
proposed addition and any changes in
the extent of subcontracting must be
approved in advance by the
Commission. In this case, the
Commission determined that the
proposed subcontracting is consistent
with its regulations and that the portion
of the work retained will create
employment for people who are blind or
significantly disabled.
Deletions
On 7/19/2013 (78 FR 43180), the
Committee for Purchase From People
Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled
published notice of proposed deletions
from the Procurement List.
After consideration of the relevant
matter presented, the Committee has
determined that the products listed
below are no longer suitable for
procurement by the Federal Government
under 41 USC 8501–8506 and 41 CFR
51–2.4.
Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification
I certify that the following action will
not have a significant impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The major factors considered for this
certification were:
1. The action will not result in
additional reporting, recordkeeping or
other compliance requirements for small
entities.
2. The action may result in
authorizing small entities to provide the
products to the Government.
3. There are no known regulatory
alternatives which would accomplish
the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 USC 8501–8506) in
connection with the products deleted
from the Procurement List.
End of Certification
Accordingly, the following products
are deleted from the Procurement List:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of the Collection: Equal Access
to Justice Act.
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Control Number: 3170–XXXX.
Type of Review: New collection of
information (request for new OMB
control number).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; business or other for-profit;
and not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 3.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 15.
Abstract: The Equal Access to Justice
Act (the Act) provides for payment of
fees and expenses to eligible parties
who have prevailed against the Bureau
in certain administrative proceedings. In
order to obtain an award, the statute and
associated regulations (12 CFR part
1071) require the filing of an application
that shows that the party is a prevailing
party and is eligible to receive an award
under the Act. The Bureau regulations
implementing the Act require the
collection of information related to the
application for an award in 12 CFR part
1071, Subparts B, C.
On June 29, 2012, the Bureau
published in the Federal Register an
interim final rule implementing the Act.
77 FR 39117. At that time, the Bureau
adopted the position that the rule did
not contain any information collection
requirements that required the approval
of OMB under the Paperwork Reduction
Act (the ‘‘PRA’’), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
The Bureau has since changed its
interpretation and now adopts the
position that the rule does contain
information collection requirements that
require the approval of OMB under the
PRA and invites the general public and
other Federal agencies to comment on
the proposed information collections.
Request for Comments: Comments are
invited on: (a) Whether the collection of
PO 00000
Frm 00018

information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Bureau, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the Bureau’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methods and the assumptions used;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) Ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. Comments submitted in
response to this notice will be
summarized and/or included in the
request for OMB approval. All
comments will become a matter of
public record.
