22202–3259 or e-mailed to 

eyang@abilityone.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Committee has two annual certification 

forms, one for nonprofit agencies 

serving people who are blind 

(Committee Form 403, OMB Control 

Number 3037–0001) and one for 

nonprofit agencies primarily serving 

people who have other severe 

disabilities (Committee Form 404, OMB 

Control Number 3037–0002). The 

information included on the forms is 

required to ensure that nonprofit 

agencies that participate in the 

Committee’s program meet the 

requirements of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (JWOD), 41 U.S.C. 46–48c. 

One comment was received in response 

to the agency’s 60-day notice informing 

the public of the intent to renew this 

form with no changes, which was 

published in the Federal Register on 

February 3, 2009 on page 5913–5914. A 

subsequent correction notice was 

published on February 13, 2009 on page 

7216.

Nonprofit Agency Serving People Who 

Are Blind, Committee Form 403. 

OMB Number: 3037–0001.

hours.

Title: Annual Certification—Qualified 

Nonprofit Agency Serving People Who 

Are Severely Disabled, Committee Form 

404. 

OMB Number: 3037–0002. 

Agency Number: 3037. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Affected Public: Nonprofit agencies 

serving people with severe disabilities 

that participate in the AbilityOne 

Program. 

Number of Respondents: 555. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 6 

hours. 

Total Burden Hours: 3,330. 

Total Annual costs: $99,900. 

On February 3, 2009, the Committee 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register (Volume 74, Number 21, pages 

5913–5914). A subsequent correction 

notice was published in the Federal 

Register on February 13, 2009 (Volume 

74, Number 29, page 7216). These 

notices requested public comment on 

the renewal of annual certification 

requirements for nonprofit agencies 

participating in the AbilityOne Program. 

The comment period lasted 60 days, 

ending April 8, 2009. By that date, the 

Committee received comments from one 

respondent containing four comments. 

The respondent concurred that the 

Committee has the authority to enforce 

conditions for participation in the 

program pursuant to the JWOD Act. 

However, the respondent inferred that 

there is sub-regulatory guidance issued 

by the Committee that should instead be 

issued through regulation. This 

information collection request is limited 

to annual reports from participating 

nonprofit agencies in the AbilityOne 

Program which are not affected by any 

sub-regulatory guidance. 

The respondent’s next comment 

questioned the burden estimate by 

indicating there was no justification, 

rationale or dollar burden estimate 

provided. Much of the respondent’s 

comment does not deal with the 

reporting of data for the annual 

certification under this specific 

collection notice, but for the 

recordkeeping requirement tracked 

under a separate OMB Paperwork 

Reduction Act tracking number. 

Specific justification for the annual 

certification, including burden and cost 

estimate, was included in the 

supporting documentation provided to 

OMB with the renewal request. The 

burden estimate used was based on 

questions asked during actual 

compliance visits to participating 

nonprofit agencies and included the 

time for entering data into the webbased quarterly system and reviewing 

the draft annual certification by the 

central nonprofit agencies. As a result of 

the Committee’s review of the process, 

the previous estimate that had been 

used since at least 1992 was doubled. 

The Committee has used a cost estimate 

of $30 per hour, therefore the estimated 

cost to each participating nonprofit 

would be $180 or a total burden of 

$112,500. 

The respondent’s next two comments 

included recommendations for 

improving the quality, utility and clarity 

of reporting by participating nonprofit 

agencies and ways to minimize the 

burden. While not specifically related to 

this information collection renewal 

request, the Committee appreciates all 

recommendations for improvement in 

our information collection and overall 

AbilityOne Program efforts.
