SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background: The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or 
Severely Disabled is an independent government agency operating as the 
U.S. AbilityOne Commission. It oversees the AbilityOne Program, which 
provides employment opportunities through Federal contracts for people 
who are blind or have significant disabilities in the manufacture and 
delivery of products and services to the Federal Government. The 
Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. chapter 85) authorizes the 
contracts.
    Registration: Attendees not requesting speaking time should 
register not later than 11:59 p.m. ET on January 24, 2024. Attendees 
requesting speaking time must register not later than 11:59 p.m. ET on 
January 16, 2024, and use the comment fields in the registration form 
to specify the intended speaking topic/s. The registration link will be 
available by December 15, 2023, on the Commission's home page, 
www.abilityone.gov, under News and Events.
    Commission Statement: This regular quarterly meeting will include 
updates from the Commission Chairperson, Executive Director, and 
Inspector General.
    Public Participation: The public engagement session will address 
how the AbilityOne Program supports, and can increasingly support, the 
Federal Government's hiring of individuals with disabilities. Scheduled 
speakers will include Federal agency partners as well as former 
AbilityOne Program employees who now work for the Federal Government.
    The Commission invites public comments and suggestions on the 
public engagement topic. During registration, you may choose to submit 
comments, or you may request speaking time at the meeting. The 
Commission may invite some attendees who submit advance comments to 
discuss their comments during the meeting. Comments submitted will be 
reviewed by staff and the Commission members before the meeting. 
Comments posted in the chat box during the meeting will be shared with 
the Commission members after the meeting. The Commission is not subject 
to the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 552(b); however, the Commission 
published this notice to encourage the broadest possible participation 
in its meeting.
    Personal Information: Speakers should not include any information 
that they do not want publicly disclosed.

Michael R. Jurkowski,
Acting Director, Business Operations.
