Village of Gouverneur, New York; Notice of Settlement Agreement, 7863-7864 [2021-02153]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 20 / Tuesday, February 2, 2021 / Notices SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Additions On 10/23/2020, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice of proposed additions to the Procurement List. This notice is published pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 8503(a)(2) and 41 CFR 51– 2.3. After consideration of the material presented to it concerning capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the service and impact of the addition on the current or most recent contractors, the Committee has determined that the service(s) listed below are suitable for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 8501–8506 and 41 CFR 51–2.4. This Notice clarifies the Notice of January 29, 2021 by adjusting the effective date of addition the Procurement from February 28, 2021 to February 15, 2021. 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 any additional reporting, recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small entities other than the small organizations that will furnish the product(s) and service(s) to the Government. 2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish the product(s) and service(s) to the Government. 3. There are no known regulatory alternatives which would accomplish the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 8501–8506) in connection with the product(s) and service(s) proposed for addition to the Procurement List. End of Certification Accordingly, the following service is added to the Procurement List: Service jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES Service Type: Custodial Service Mandatory for: US Air Force, Cannon Air Force Base, NM Mandatory Source of Supply: ENMRSH, Inc., Clovis, NM Contracting Activity: DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE, FA4855 27 SOCONS LGC The Committee finds good cause to dispense with the 30-day delay in the effective date normally required by the Administrative Procedure Act. See 5 U.S.C. 553(d). This addition to the Committee’s Procurement List is effectuated because of the expiration of VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:08 Feb 01, 2021 Jkt 253001 the Custodial Service, US Air Force, Cannon Air Force Base, NM contract. The Federal customer contacted, and has worked diligently with the AbilityOne Program to fulfill this service need under the AbilityOne Program. To avoid performance disruption, and the possibility that the US Air Force will refer its business elsewhere, this addition must be effective on February 15, 2021, ensuring timely execution for a March 1, 2021, start date while still allowing 13 days for comment. Pursuant to its own regulation 41 CFR 51–2.4, the Committee has been in contact with one of the affected parties, the incumbent of the expiring contract, since March 2020 and determined that no severe adverse impact exists. The Committee also published a notice of proposed Procurement List addition in the Federal Register on October 23, 2020, and did not receive any comments from any interested persons, including from the incumbent contractor. This addition will not create a public hardship and has limited effect on the public at large, but, rather, will create new jobs for other affected parties—people with significant disabilities in the AbilityOne program who otherwise face challenges locating employment. Moreover, this addition will enable Federal customer operations to continue without interruption. Michael R. Jurkowski, Deputy Director, Business & PL Operations. 7863 Purpose: In accordance with the Government in the Sunshine Act (Sunshine Act), Public Law 94–409, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552b), the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) will conduct a virtual roundtable discussion on the lessons learned regarding accessibility for voters with disabilities from the 2020 elections.
