SUMMARY: Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Additions On 5/10/2024, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled (operating as the U.S. AbilityOne Commission) published an initial notice of proposed additions to the Procurement List. (89 FR 40473). The Committee determined that the service listed below is suitable for procurement by the Federal Government and has added this service to the Procurement List as a mandatory purchase for contracting activity listed. In accordance with 41 CFR 51–5.3(b), the mandatory purchase requirement is limited to the contracting activity at location listed, and in accordance with 41 CFR 51–5.2, the Committee has authorized the nonprofit agency listed as the mandatory source of supply. After consideration of the material presented to it concerning capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the service(s) and impact of the additions 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. Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification BILLING CODE 6353–01–P PO 00000 65335 Sfmt 4703 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 service(s) to the Government. 2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish the 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 service(s) proposed for addition to the Procurement List. End of Certification Accordingly, the following service(s) are added to the Procurement List: Service(s) Service Type: Custodial and Related Services Mandatory for: US Air Force, Maxwell AFB (including Gunter Annex and Vigilant Warrior Training Site), Montgomery, AL Authorized Source of Supply: Global Connections to Employment, Inc., Pensacola, FL Contracting Activity: DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE, FA3300 42 CONS CC E:\FR\FM\09AUN1.SGM 09AUN1 65336 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 154 / Friday, August 9, 2024 / Notices 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 the U.S. Air Force Custodial Service, Maxwell Air Force Base, Montgomery, AL 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 U.S. Air Force will refer its business elsewhere, this addition must be effective on 8/25/2024, ensuring timely execution for a 9/1/2024 start date while still allowing 16 days for comment. The Committee also published a notice of proposed Procurement List addition in the Federal Register on 5/10/2024 and did not receive any comments from any interested persons. 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. Deletions On 7/5/2024 (89 FR 55590), the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice of proposed deletions from the Procurement List. This notice is published pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 8503 (a)(2) and 41 CFR 51–2.3.

Government.

the service(s) to the Government.

the effective date normally required by the Administrative Procedure 
Act. See 5 U.S.C. 553(d). This addition to the Committee's Procurement

date while still allowing 16 days for comment. The Committee also 
published a notice of proposed Procurement List addition in the Federal 
Register on 5/10/2024 and did not receive any comments from any
