SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background on National System 

The national system of MPAs 

includes member MPA sites, networks 

and systems established and managed 

by federal, state, tribal and/or local 

governments that collectively enhance 

conservation of the nation’s natural and 

cultural marine heritage and represent 

its diverse ecosystems and resources. 

Although participating sites continue to 

be managed independently, national 

system MPAs also work together at the 

regional and national levels to achieve 

common objectives for conserving the 

nation’s important natural and cultural 

resources, with emphasis on achieving 

the priority conservation objectives of 

the Framework. Executive Order 13158 

defines an MPA as: ‘‘any area of the 

marine environment that has been 

reserved by Federal, State, territorial, 

tribal, or local laws or regulations to 

provide lasting protection for part or all 

of the natural and cultural resources 

therein.’’ As such, MPAs in the national 

system include sites with a wide range 

of protections, including multiple use 

areas that manage a broad spectrum of 

activities and no-take reserves where all 

extractive uses are prohibited. Although 

sites in the national system may include 

both terrestrial and marine components, 

the term MPA as defined in the 

Framework refers only to the marine 

portion of a site (below the mean high 

tide mark). 

Benefits of joining the national system 

of MPAs, which are expected to increase 

over time as the system matures, 

include a facilitated means to work with 

other MPAs in the region, and 

nationally on issues of common 

conservation concern; fostering greater 

public and international recognition of 

MPAs, MPA programs, and the 

resources they protect; priority in the 

receipt of available training and 

technical support, MPA partnership 

grants with the National Fish and 

Wildlife Foundation, cooperative 

project participation, and other support 

for cross-cutting needs; and the 

opportunity to influence federal and 

regional ocean conservation and 

management initiatives (such as 

integrated ocean observing systems, 

systematic monitoring and evaluation, 

targeted outreach to key user groups, 

and helping to identify and address 

MPA research needs). In addition, the 

national system provides a forum for 

coordinated regional planning about 

place-based conservation priorities that 

does not otherwise exist. 

Joining the national system does not 

restrict or require changes affecting the 

designation process for new MPAs or 

management and modification of 

existing MPAs. It does not bring state, 

territorial or local sites under federal 

authority. It does not establish new 

regulatory authority or interfere with the 

exercise of existing agency authorities. 

The national system is a mechanism to 

foster greater collaboration among 

participating MPA sites and programs to 

enhance stewardship in the marine 

waters of the United States. 

Nomination Process 

The Framework describes two major 

focal areas for building the national 

system of MPAs—a nomination process 

to allow existing MPAs that meet the 

entry criteria to become part of the 

system and a collaborative regional gap 

analysis process to identify areas of 

significance for natural or cultural 

resources that may merit additional 

protection through existing federal, 

state, commonwealth, territorial, tribal 

or local MPA authorities. This notice is 

for the fourth round of nominations to 

the national system. There are currently 

254 federal, state and territorial MPAs 

within the national system. 

There are four entry criteria for 

existing MPAs to join the national 

system, including one that applies only 

to cultural heritage. Sites that meet all 

pertinent criteria are eligible for the 

national system. 

1. Meets the definition of an MPA as 

defined in the Framework. 

2. Has a management plan (can be 

site-specific or part of a broader 

programmatic management plan; must 

have goals and objectives and call for 

monitoring or evaluation of those goals 

and objectives). 

3. Contributes to at least one priority 

conservation objective as listed in the 

Framework. 

4. Cultural heritage MPAs must also 

conform to criteria for the National 

Register for Historic Places. 

The MPA Center used existing 

information contained in the MPA 

Inventory to determine which MPAs 

meet the first and second criteria. The 

inventory is online at http:// 

www.mpa.gov/helpful_resources/ 

inventory.html, and potentially eligible 

sites are posted online at http:// 

www.mpa.gov/pdf/national-system/ 

nominationsummary810.pdf. 

As part of the nomination process, the 

managing entity for each potentially 

eligible site is asked to provide 

information on the third and fourth 

criteria.

AGENCY: Committee for Purchase From

ACTION: Addition to the Procurement 

List. 

SUMMARY: This action adds a service to 

the Procurement List that will be 

provided by a nonprofit agency 

employing persons who are blind or 

have other severe disabilities. 

DATES: Effective Date: 1/23/2011. 

ADDRESSES: Committee for Purchase 

From People Who Are Blind or Severely 

Disabled, Jefferson Plaza 2, Suite 10800,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Addition 

On 10/1/2010 (75 FR 60739–60740), 

the Committee for Purchase From 

People Who Are Blind or Severely 

Disabled published a notice of proposed 

addition to the Procurement List of 

Food Service Attendant, Pease Air 

National Guard Base, Newington, NH. 

Comments on the proposed addition 

were received from representatives of 

the Blind Entrepreneurs Alliance (BEA), 

Randolph Sheppard Vendors of America 

(RSVA) and the National Association of 

Blind Merchants (NABM). 

The Committee disputes any 

suggestion that all Department of 

Defense (DoD) contracts for mess hall 

services must be competitively bid and 

are subject to the Randolph-Sheppard 

Act. In this project, the DoD contracting 

activity specifically identified their 

requirement as ‘‘food attendant 

services.’’ Therefore, the initial Federal 

Register Notice published by the 

Committee identifies the service as 

‘‘Food Service Attendant’’ that includes 

‘‘food preparation, service of food, 

cashiering and housekeeping services 

and waste management.’’ The 

Committee also confirmed with the 

contracting activity that the dining 

facility is under military management 

and operation which, in addition to the 

clearly defined Statement of Work, 

specifically limits the requirement of 

this project to food service attendant 

duties. 

The Randolph-Sheppard Act provides 

entrepreneurial opportunities for blind 

vendors in operating and managing 

military dining facilities, whereas food 

service attendant opportunities 

supporting the operation of a military 

dining facility short of management 

responsibilities are considered to be 

suitable for addition to the Procurement 

List maintained by the Committee. 

Accordingly, the Committee determines 

that the information provided in the 

Federal Register Notice is sufficiently 

clear to identify the services sought and, 

furthermore, that this service is 

appropriate for the AbilityOne Program. 

After consideration of the material 

presented to it concerning capability of 

a qualified nonprofit agency to provide 

the service and impact of the addition 

on the current or most recent 

contractors, the Committee has 

determined that the service listed below 

is suitable for procurement by the 

Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 

46–48c 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 

organization that will provide the 

service to the Government. 

2. The action will result in 

authorizing small entities to provide the 

service 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. 46–48c) in 

connection with the service proposed 

for addition to the Procurement List. 

End of Certification 

Accordingly, the following service is 

added to the Procurement List: 

Service 

Service Type/Location: Food Service 

Attendant, Pease Air National 

Guard Base, Newington, NH. 

NPA: CW Resources, Inc., New Britain, 

CT.
