52512 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 164 / Friday, August 23, 2013 / Notices 

The Commission’s regulations, 

specifically the section cited, require the 

Commission to consider the level of 

impact on the current contractor for the 

commodity or service being considered 

for addition to the Procurement List as 

part of its determination that a product 

or service is suitable. The Commission 

defines the current contractor as the 

commercial source from which the 

responsible Government contracting 

activity is procuring the product or 

service that is the subject of a proposed 

addition. 

Accordingly, the Commission’s 

impact analysis finding was that the 

Army Contracting Command—Aberdeen 

Proving Ground Natick Contracting 

Division, on behalf of PM FSS, does not 

have a current contract for the provision 

of Integrated Prime Vendor Supply 

Chain Management Service. Previously, 

PM FSS has obtained various 

requirements for equipment or related 

material through use of various DLA 

Prime Vendor contracts, under DLA’s 

Special Operational Equipment Tailored 

Logistics Support and/or Fire 

Emergency Services Programs. No single 

vendor was guaranteed to receive orders 

from PM FSS; many other DOD 

customers make use of the prime vendor 

contracts. PM FSS requirements for 

kitting or other supply chain 

management services required were 

obtained through the DLA depot system. 

The commenter also questioned 

whether the objectives of the proposed 

addition were in opposition to the goal 

of the AbilityOne Program to create 

employment opportunities for people 

who are blind or have other significant 

disabilities. 41 CFR 51–2.4 

Determination of Suitability requires the 

Commission to consider the 

employment potential of each proposed 

addition before it can determine a 

product or service suitable for addition 

to the Procurement List. In this case, the 

Commission determined that there is 

employment potential for the workforce 

of people who are significantly disabled 

in the provision of acquisition support 

services, kitting, manufacturing and 

design, and warehousing. The 

designated nonprofit agency has 

identified Full Time Equivalent 

positions for more than 33 individuals 

with significant disabilities in the 

delivery of services. 

The commenter specifically 

questioned whether the nonprofit 

agency would be a pass-through to large 

subcontractors, therefore not 

maximizing the potential for 

employment of people who are blind or 

significantly disabled. Commission 

regulations permit the subcontracting of 

a portion of the process for producing a 

product or providing a service on the 

Procurement List, provided that the 

portion of the process retained by the 

nonprofit agency generates employment 

for people who are blind or have 

significant disabilities. Subcontracting 

that is intended to be a routine part of 

production is required to be identified 

to the Commission at the time of 

proposed addition and any changes in 

the extent of subcontracting must be 

approved in advance by the 

Commission. In this case, the 

Commission determined that the 

proposed subcontracting is consistent 

with its regulations and that the portion 

of the work retained will create 

employment for people who are blind or 

significantly disabled. 

Deletions 

On 7/19/2013 (78 FR 43180), the 

Committee for Purchase From People 

Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled 

published notice of proposed deletions 

from the Procurement List. 

After consideration of the relevant 

matter presented, the Committee has 

determined that the products listed 

below are no longer suitable for 

procurement by the Federal Government 

under 41 USC 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 

additional reporting, recordkeeping or 

other compliance requirements for small 

entities. 

2. The action may result in 

authorizing small entities to provide the 

products to the Government. 

3. There are no known regulatory 

alternatives which would accomplish 

the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 USC 8501–8506) in 

connection with the products deleted 

from the Procurement List. 

End of Certification

are deleted from the Procurement List:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of the Collection: Equal Access 

to Justice Act. 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) Control Number: 3170–XXXX. 

Type of Review: New collection of 

information (request for new OMB 

control number). 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; business or other for-profit; 

and not-for-profit institutions. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 3. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 15. 

Abstract: The Equal Access to Justice 

Act (the Act) provides for payment of 

fees and expenses to eligible parties 

who have prevailed against the Bureau 

in certain administrative proceedings. In 

order to obtain an award, the statute and 

associated regulations (12 CFR part 

1071) require the filing of an application 

that shows that the party is a prevailing 

party and is eligible to receive an award 

under the Act. The Bureau regulations 

implementing the Act require the 

collection of information related to the 

application for an award in 12 CFR part 

1071, Subparts B, C. 

On June 29, 2012, the Bureau 

published in the Federal Register an 

interim final rule implementing the Act. 

77 FR 39117. At that time, the Bureau 

adopted the position that the rule did 

not contain any information collection 

requirements that required the approval 

of OMB under the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (the ‘‘PRA’’), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. 

The Bureau has since changed its 

interpretation and now adopts the 

position that the rule does contain 

information collection requirements that 

require the approval of OMB under the 

PRA and invites the general public and 

other Federal agencies to comment on 

the proposed information collections. 

Request for Comments: Comments are 

invited on: (a) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Bureau, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) The accuracy of the Bureau’s 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methods and the assumptions used; 

(c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) Ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. Comments submitted in 

response to this notice will be 

summarized and/or included in the 

request for OMB approval. All 

comments will become a matter of 

public record.
