SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Severely Disabled is an independent government agency operating as the
U.S. AbilityOne Commission. It oversees the
[[Page 39410]]
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.

register not later than 11:59 p.m. ET on July 12, 2023. Attendees

Commission Statement: This regular quarterly meeting will include
updates from the Commission Chairperson, Executive Director, and
Inspector General. The meeting will provide significant time for public
participation.
Public Participation: The Commission will hold a public engagement
session on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) Supporting
Competition in the AbilityOne Program (RIN 3037-AA14), published on
March 13, 2023. The Commission particularly invites discussion on how
the Commission can consider a nonprofit agency's positive performance
in improving employment opportunities for people who are blind or have
significant disabilities, both within the AbilityOne workplace and
placements outside the AbilityOne Program, in initial Procurement List
additions and in any competitive process covered by the NPRM. The
Commission will invite some attendees to present their views during the
meeting. The Commission will also recognize individuals who request to
speak, to the maximum extent time permits. Speakers are requested to
keep their presentations to three (3) minutes to allow the maximum
number of participants during the meeting.
Personal Information: Speakers should not include any information
that they do not want publicly disclosed.
Michael R. Jurkowski,
Acting Director, Business Operations.
