3194 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 9 / Friday, January 13, 1995 / Notices

Department must publish a notice of a

court decision which is not ‘‘in

harmony’’ with a Department

determination, and must suspend

liquidation of entries pending a

‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s

decisions on July 8, 1993, December 10,

1993, and March 4, 1994, constitute

decisions not in harmony with the

Department’s final results. Publication

of this notice fulfills this obligation.

Pursuant to the decision in Timken,

the Department must continue the

suspension of liquidation of the subject

merchandise pending the later of the

expiration of the period for appeal or

the conclusion of any appeal. Further,

absent an appeal, or, if appealed, upon

a ‘‘conclusive’’ court decision affirming

the CIT’s opinion, the Department will

amend the final affirmative results of

the first administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on antifriction

bearings (other than tapered roller

bearings) and parts thereof from Italy to

reflect the amended margins of the

Department’s redeterminations on

remand, which were affirmed by the

CIT.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On August 24, 1994, the Department

published in the Federal Register a

notice of initiation of administrative

review (59 FR 43537) of the

antidumping duty order on ferrosilicon

from Venezuela at the request of a

respondent, CVG-Venzolana de

Ferrosilicio, C.A. (Fesilven). This notice

stated that the Department would

review merchandise sold in the United

States by Fesilven during the period

December 29, 1992 through May 31,

1994.

Fesilven subsequently withdrew its

request for review on October 25, 1994.

Under CFR 353.22(a)(5) (1994), a party

requesting a review may withdraw that

request no later than 90 days after the

date of publication on the notice of

initiation. Because Fesilven’s

withdrawal occurred within the time

frame specified in 19 CFR 353.22(a)(5),

and no other interested party has

requested an administrative review for

this period, the Department is now

terminating this review.

This notice is published pursuant to

19 CFR 353.22(a)(5).

Dated: December 29, 1994.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for

Compliance.

COMMITTEE FOR PURCHASE FROM

PEOPLE WHO ARE BLIND OR

SEVERELY DISABLED

Procurement List; Addition

AGENCY: Committee for Purchase From

People Who Are Blind or Severely

Disabled.

ACTION: Addition to the Procurement

List.

SUMMARY: This action adds to the

Procurement List a service to be

furnished by nonprofit agencies

employing persons who are blind or

have other severe disabilities.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 13, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Committee for Purchase

From People Who Are Blind or Severely

Disabled, Crystal Square 3, Suite 403,

1735 Jefferson Davis Highway,

Arlington, Virginia 22202–3461.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Beverly Milkman (703) 603–7740.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

November 18, 1994, the Committee for

Purchase From People Who Are Blind

or Severely Disabled published notice

(59 FR 59757) of proposed addition to

the Procurement List. Comments were

received from the current contractor for

this service. The contractor indicated

that loss of the contract would have a

significant impact on its business

because it is concentrating on improving

its better performing contracts rather

than developing new business. The

contractor noted that it does employ

some people with disabilities, although

it questioned how the nonprofit agency

designated by the Committee will be

able to perform the switchboard and

information operations of this service

using people with severe disabilities.

The contractor noted that the

switchboard uses lights and sounds, so

sight and hearing capabilities are

required, and the switchboard

equipment requires dexterity to process

calls efficiently. The contractor

indicated that the small workroom

space does not promote the use of wheel

chairs or special equipment, and the

requirement to respond to emergency

calls makes the use of people with

mental disabilities inappropriate. The

contractor also expressed concerns that

addition of the service to the

Procurement List would dramatically

increase the Government’s costs to

acquire the same level of service the

contractor is providing, and it indicated

that its contacts with the nonprofit

agency showed the latter did not

understand the requirements of the

service.

This contract represents a very small

percentage of the contractor’s total sales.

Even considering the impact of another

switchboard service added to the

Procurement List in 1992 where the

commenting contractor also held the

contract and allowing for a possibly

greater impact because of the

contractor’s business plan, the level of

impact on the contractor does not

amount to a level which the Committee

considers to be severe adverse impact.

The Committee appreciates the fact

that the contractor has hired some

people with disabilities to perform this

contract. The nonprofit agency will

consider employing these people.

However, addition of the service to the

Procurement List will guarantee that the

service will be provided by people with

severe disabilities, while a competitive

contractor would be free to terminate its

disabled workers for any reason.

The nonprofit agency plans to use

people with physical disabilities to

perform the switchboard services. It has

taken into account the dexterity

requirement in its staffing plans. The

nonprofit agency will not hire anyone

who is totally blind or totally deaf. The

nonprofit agency considers the
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 9 / Friday, January 13, 1995 / Notices 3195

switchboard room to be large enough to

permit the use of wheelchairs, and the

Government has agreed to modify the

room if that proves necessary.

Nonprofit agencies are required to

provide services to the Government

under the Committee’s program at a fair

market price determined by the

Committee, and the nonprofit agency in

question has agreed to do so.

Consequently, there will not be the

dramatic increase in price the contractor

predicted.

The nonprofit agency performing the

service has long been a successful

participant in the Committee’s program.

It has hired a project manager with

many years of experience in telephone

operations to manage the project who

has established good relations with

Government people at the job site. The

nonprofit agency, with the assistance of

its central nonprofit agency, has devised

a plan of operation to meet the needs of

the service. Consequently, the

Committee believes that the concerns

expressed by the contractor about the

nonprofit agency’s ability to do the job,

which may have been based on an early

contact with the agency, do not provide

a basis for deeming the nonprofit agency

incapable of performing the service.

After consideration of the material

presented to it concerning capability of

qualified nonprofit agencies to provide

the service, fair market price, and

impact of the addition on the current or

most recent contractors, the Committee

has determined that the services listed

below are suitable for procurement by

the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C.

46–48d and 41 CFR 51–2.4.

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

service to the Government.

2. The action does not appear to have

a severe economic impact on current

contractors for the service.

3. The action will result in

authorizing small entities to furnish the

service to the Government.

4. 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.

Accordingly, the following service is

hereby added to the Procurement List:

Switchboard Operation, Department of

Veterans Affairs Medical Center, 4300

West 7th Street, North Little Rock,

Arkansas.

This action does not affect current

contracts awarded prior to the effective

date of this addition or options

exercised under those contracts.

Executive Director.

37465, 59758, 60782 and 64932) of

After consideration of the material

presented to it concerning capability of

the Committee has determined that the

substantial number of small entities.

The major factors considered for this

certification were:
