SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For the
purpose of providing individuals who
are blind with remunerative
employment, enlarging their economic
opportunities, and stimulating greater
efforts to make themselves selfsupporting, the Randolph-Sheppard
Act, 20 U.S.C. 107 et seq. (Act),
authorizes individuals who are blind to
operate vending facilities on Federal
property and provides them with a
priority for doing so. The vending
facilities include, among other things,
cafeterias, snack bars, and automatic
vending machines. The Department
administers the Act and designates an
agency in each participating State—the
State licensing agency (SLA)—to license
individuals who are blind to operate
vending facilities on Federal and other
property in the State.
The Act provides for arbitration of
disputes between SLAs and vendors
who are blind and between SLAs and
Federal agencies before three-person
panels, convened by the Department,
whose decisions constitute final agency
action. 20 U.S.C. 107d–1. The Act also
makes these decisions matters of public
record and requires their publication in
the Federal Register. 20 U.S.C. 107d–
2(c).
The Department publishes lists of
Randolph-Sheppard Act arbitration
panel decisions in the Federal Register.
The full texts of the decisions listed are
available on the Department’s website
(see below) or by request (see 82 FR
41941 (Sept. 5, 2017)). Older, archived
decisions are also added to the
