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.

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.

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.

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

[[Page 36773]]

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 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
