Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled December 16, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled (the Committee) is considering revising its regulations regarding: The qualifications required of both central nonprofit agencies and nonprofit agencies to participate in the Javits- Wagner-O'Day (JWOD) Program, and the guidelines under which executive compensation will be considered as either influencing or not influencing a fair market price. The Committee wants to ensure that Federal customers continue to receive high value products and services from JWOD affiliated central nonprofit agencies and nonprofit agencies and believes that these two areas merit further review at this time. Prior to initiating any formal rulemaking, the Committee is seeking further information and suggestions on: alternative approaches to determine that central nonprofit agencies and nonprofit agencies are initially qualified to participate in the JWOD Program and then qualified to continue to participate in the Program, and alternative approaches and mechanisms to assess that the fair market price set by the Committee and paid by Federal departments and agencies is not burdened inappropriately by excessive executive compensation costs.
