7 CFR Part 1

RIN 00-0599

 

Vending Stands To Be Operated by Licensed Blind Persons

AGENCY: Department of Agriculture (USDA).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action removes subpart F (Secs. 1.91-1.94) from 7 CFR 
part 1. Subpart F of 7 CFR prescribes procedures governing the 
installation of vending stands operated by licensed blind persons on 
premises under the control of USDA in accordance with the Randolph-
Sheppard Act (20 U.S.C. 107 et seq.). Subsequent to the promulgation of 
these regulations, the Randolph-Sheppard Act Amendments of 1974 were 
enacted, and pursuant to its authority thereunder the Department of 
Education issued Governmentwide implementing regulations at 34 CFR part 
395, which supersede the USDA regulations. The removal of 7 CFR subpart 
F (Secs. 1.91-1.94) will eliminate obsolete provisions, reduce 
duplication of material in the CFR, and allow USDA agencies to look to 
the Agriculture Property Management Regulations for the internal 
implementation of 34 CFR part 395.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 15, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. William P. Kiley, Realty Specialist, Real Property Management 
Division, Office of Operations, United States Department of 
Agriculture, room 1566, South Building, 14th Street & Independence 
Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20250, telephone (202) 720-5001. Office 
hours are from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USDA first published 7 CFR 1.91-1.94, to 
implement the provisions of the Randolph-Sheppard Act in USDA 
controlled facilities, at 22 FR 7169, September 7, 1957, and amended 
them at 28 FR 8117, August 8, 1963. These regulations were superseded 
when the Randolph-Sheppard Act Amendments of 1974, Public Law 93-651, 
November 21, 1974, designated the Rehabilitative Services 
Administration of the then Department of Health, Education, and Welfare 
as the principal agency for carrying out the Act. The function 
subsequently was transferred to the Department of Education, which 
issued 34 CFR part 395 to implement the provisions of the Act 
Governmentwide. USDA has determined that this action relates solely to 
internal agency management. Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, notice 
of proposed rulemaking and opportunity for comment are not required, 
and this action may be made effective less than 30 days after 
publication in the Federal Register. Further, since this action relates 
solely to internal agency management, it is not a significant 
regulatory action for the purposes of E.O. 12866. This action is not a 
rule as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act, and thus is exempt 
from the provisions of the Act.
