This notice provides information to access and participate in the
July 8, 2021 regular quarterly public meeting of the Committee for
Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled, operating as
the U.S. AbilityOne Commission (Commission), via webinar. The
Commission 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 and
established 15 Presidential appointees, including private citizens
conversant with the employment interests and concerns of people who are
blind or significantly disabled. Presidential appointees also include
representatives of federal agencies. The public meetings include
updates from the Commission and staff.
Date and Time: July 8, 2021, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., EDT.
Place: This meeting will occur via Zoom webinar.
Commission Statement: As the Commission implements new strategies
and priorities, we are committed to public meetings that provide
substantive information. These meetings also provide an opportunity for
input from the disability community and other stakeholders. On July 8,
2021, the Commission meeting agenda will include an update on ``Ratio
Calculation Recommendations of the 898 Panel,'' including a
recommendation found in the FY2017 NDAA Section 898 ``Panel on
Department of Defense and AbilityOne Contracting Oversight,
Accountability and Integrity'' Third Annual Report to Congress. The
recommendation is: ``Amend the JWOD Act's 75 percent Direct Labor Hour
ratio requirement, 41 U.S.C. 8501(6)(C), (7)(C), to promote employment
and upward mobility of individuals with disabilities in integrated work
environments, and provide for implementation requirements and
guidelines.''
Registration: Attendees must register not later than 11:59 p.m. EDT
on Tuesday, July 6, 2021. The registration link will be accessible on
