SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Additions 

On 7/20/2012 (77 FR 42701–42702), 

7/27/2012 (77 FR 44220), and 8/17/2012 

(77 FR 49784), the Committee for

of proposed additions to the 

Procurement List. 

After consideration of the material 

presented to it concerning capability of 

qualified nonprofit agencies to provide 

the products and services and impact of 

the additions on the current or most 

recent contractors, the Committee has 

determined that the products and 

services 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 

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 

products and services to the 

Government. 

2. The action will result in 

authorizing small entities to furnish the 

products and services 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 products and 

services proposed for addition to the 

Procurement List.

A commercial contractor submitted 

comments indicating its opposition to 

adding the services to the AbilityOne 

Procurement List. The contractor states 

that having the services provided by 

AbilityOne® Program nonprofit agencies 

will result in higher costs to the 

Government. The contractor argues that 

the services should be acquired through 

a competitive procurement involving 

small businesses. 

The Committee for Purchase From 

People Who Are Blind or Severely 

Disabled (Committee) administers the 

AbilityOne Program in accordance with 

41 U.S.C. 8501 et seq. Pursuant to the 

statute, the Commission’s 

responsibilities include determining 

which products and services produced 

or provided by qualified nonprofit 

agencies employing people who are 

blind or with other severe disabilities, 

are suitable for procurement by the 

Government and establishing the fair 

market price for products and services 

placed on the Procurement List. 

Consequently, Congress has determined 

that it is in the Government’s best 

interest to have a program designed to 

promote employment for people who 

are blind or severely disabled and have 

charged the members of the agency 

appointed by the President to make the 

appropriate programmatic decisions, 

including how the Government will 

acquire certain items and the price they 

will pay for such items. The commercial 

contractor that submitted comments did 

not provide any evidence that the 

services will not be provided at a fair 

market price as established by the 

Committee. 

Information was also submitted from 

a representative of the Army contracting 

command headquarters responsible for 

this project. The representative 

provided information from the 

Performance Work Statement (PWS) for 

this project, including identification of 

specific services required in the PWS, 

and recommended that the Committee 

cite these in its description of the 

services to be added to the Procurement 

List. 

When the Committee considers 

service projects for addition to the 

Procurement List, the PWS is among the 

documents provided for their 

consideration. Accordingly, the 

Committee has specific PWS 

information on the services and 

locations of the proposed project. The 

Committee’s practice in describing a 

service requirement by name is to 

sufficiently inform the public and the 

applicable Federal agency that will 

procure the service, without identifying 

specific functions or tasks in that name. 

However, the service provided is 

defined more specifically within the 

Committee’s records and is bounded by 

the Government’s requirement as 

defined in the relevant PWS.

BILLING CODE 6353–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

Renewal of the Board of Visitors of the 

U.S. Air Force Academy 

AGENCY: DoD. 

ACTION: Renewal of Federal Advisory 

Committee. 

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act of 

1972 (5 U.S.C. Appendix), the 

Government in the Sunshine Act of 

1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b), and 41 CFR 102– 

3.50(d), the Department of Defense gives 

notice that it is renewing the charter for 

the Board of Visitors of the U.S. Air 

Force Academy (hereafter referred to as 

‘‘the Board’’). 

The Board is a non-discretionary 

federal advisory committee that shall 

provide independent advice and 

recommendations on matters relating to 

the U.S. Air Force Academy, to include 

morale, discipline, and social climate, 

the curriculum, instruction, physical 

equipment, fiscal affairs, academic 

methods, and other matters relating to 

the Academy that the Board decides to 

consider. 

The Board shall prepare a semiannual 

report containing its views and 

recommendations pertaining to the U.S. 

Air Force Academy, based on its 

meeting since the last such report and 

any other considerations it determines 

relevant. Each such report shall be 

submitted concurrently to the Secretary 

of Defense, through the Secretary of the 

Air Force, and to the Committee on 

Armed Services of the Senate and the 

Committee on Armed Services of the 

House of Representatives. 

The Board is constituted annually, 

and it shall be composed of not more 

than 15 members. Under the provisions 

of 10 U.S.C. 9355(a) and (b)(2), the 

Board members shall include: 

a. Six persons designated by the 

President, at least two of whom shall be 

graduates of the U.S. Air Force 

Academy; 

b. The chairman of the Committee on 

Armed Services of the House of 

Representatives, or his designee; 

c. Four persons designated by the 

Speaker of the House of Representatives, 

three of whom shall be members of the 

House of Representatives and the fourth 

of whom may not be a member of the 

House of Representatives; 

d. The chairman of the Committee on 

Armed Services of the Senate, or his 

designee; 

e. Three other members of the Senate 

designated by the Vice President or the 

President pro tempore of the Senate, 

two of whom are members of the 

Committee on Appropriations of the 

Senate. 

The Board members referenced in 

paragraph (a) above, designated by the 

President, shall serve for three years 

except that any member whose term of 

office has expired shall continue to 

serve until a successor is appointed. In 

addition, the President shall designate 

persons each year to succeed the 

members referenced in (a) above whose 

terms expire that year. 

The Board members shall select the 

Board Chairperson and Vice 

Chairperson from the total membership. 

If a member of the Board dies or 

resigns or is terminated as a member of 

the Board, a successor shall be 

designated for the unexpired portion of 

the term by the official who designated 

the member. 

Each member of the Board who is a 

member of the Armed Forces or a 

civilian officer or employee of the 

United States shall serve without 

compensation (other than compensation 

to which entitled as a member of the 

Armed Forces or an officer or employee 

of the United States, respectively). 

Individuals appointed by the President 

shall receive no compensation for their 

service on the Board. While performing 

duties as a member of the Board, each 

member of the Board and each adviser 

shall be reimbursed under Government 

travel regulations for travel expenses. 

If a member of the Board fails to 

attend two successive Board meetings, 

except in a case in which an absence is 

approved in advance for good cause by 

the Board chairperson, such failure shall 

be grounds for termination from 

membership on the Board, pursuant to 

10 U.S.C. 9355(c)(2)(A) (‘‘absenteeism 

provision’’).
