tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 123 / Friday, June 26, 2015 / Notices
1320.8(d)). The Committee plans to
submit a request to OMB to approve the
collection of information for nonprofit
agency responsibilities related to
recordkeeping. The Committee is
requesting a 3-year term of approval for
this information collection 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 OMB control
number for this collection of
information is 3037–0014.
The Javits-Wagner-O’Day (JWOD) Act
of 1971 (41 U.S.C. 8501 et seq.) 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 significant
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
SourceAmerica, 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, detail the recordkeeping
requirements imposed on nonprofit
agencies participating in the AbilityOne
Program. Section 51–2.4 of the
regulations describes the criteria that
the Committee must consider when
adding a product or service to its
Procurement List. One of these criteria
is that a proposed addition must
demonstrate a potential to generate
employment for people who are blind or
significantly disabled. The Committee
decided that evidence that employment
will be generated for those individuals
consists of recordkeeping that tracks
direct labor hours and revenues for
products or services sold through an
AbilityOne Program contract. This
recordkeeping can be done on each
individual AbilityOne project or by
product or service family.
In addition, section 51–4.3 of the
regulations requires that nonprofit
agencies keep records on direct labor
hours performed by each worker and
keep an individual record or file for
each individual who is blind or
significantly disabled, documenting that
individual’s disability and capabilities
for competitive employment. The
records that nonprofit agencies must
keep in accordance with section 51–4.3
of the regulations constitute the bulk of
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
the hour burden associated with this
OMB control number.
This information collection request
seeks approval for the Committee to
continue to ensure compliance with
recordkeeping requirements established
by the authority of the JWOD Act and
set forth in the Act’s implementing
regulations and to ensure that the
Committee has the ability to confirm the
suitability of products and services on
its Procurement List. The recordkeeping
requirements described in this
document are the same as those
previously imposed on nonprofit
agencies participating in the AbilityOne
Program under OMB control number
3037–0005.
Title: Nonprofit Agency
Responsibilities, 41 CFR 51–2.4 and 51–
4.3.
OMB Control Number: 3037–0014.
Description of Collection:
Recordkeeping.
Description of Respondents:
Nonprofit agencies participating in the
AbilityOne Program.
Annual Number of Respondents:
About 570 nonprofit agencies will
annually participate in recordkeeping.
Total Annual Burden Hours: The
recordkeeping burden is estimated to
average 567 hours per respondent. Total
annual burden is 354,375 hours.
We invite comments concerning this
information collection 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.

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 renew its
approval of form used for the initial and
annual evaluations of competitive
employability required by the
Committee’s regulations (41 CFR 51–
4.3). The Committee is requesting a 3year 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 OMB control
number for this collection is 3037–0011.
The JWOD Act of 1971 (41 U.S.C.
8501 et seq.) 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
significant disabilities. Its primary
means of doing so is by requiring
Government agencies to purchase
products and services provided by
nonprofit agencies employing such
individuals. The AbilityOne Program is
administered by the Committee. Two
national, independent organizations,
National Industries for the Blind (NIB)
and SourceAmerica, 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 engage in
normal competitive employment at least
annually.
This information collection renewal
request seeks approval for the
Committee to continue to require the
use of a standardized, Committeedeveloped, form to record the
evaluation.
