COMMITTEE FOR PURCHASE FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE BLIND OR SEVERELY DISABLED


Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Information 
Collection; Comment Request

AGENCY: Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely 
Disabled.

ACTION: Proposed collection, Comment request for renewal of existing 
information collection instruments (Committee Form 401 and Committee 
Form 402).

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

SUMMARY: The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or 
Severely Disabled is inviting public comment on the proposed collection 
of information. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Federal 
agencies are required to publish notice in the Federal Register 
concerning each proposed collection of information, and to allow 60 
days for public comment in response to the notice. This notice solicits 
comments on requirements relating to the initial certification of 
nonprofit agencies serving people who are blind or who have other 
severe disabilities (Committee Forms 401 and 402). The Committee is 
particularly interested in comments that help the agency to: (1) 
Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility; (2) Evaluate the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed 
collection of information including the validity of the methodology and 
assumptions used; (3) Enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (4) Minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or 
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses.

DATES: Submit comments on or before January 29, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Comments and requests for copies of the proposed information 
collection instruments should be submitted to: Janet Yandik, 
Information Management Specialist, Committee for Purchase From People 
Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled, Jefferson Plaza 2, Suite 10800,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Committee has two initial certification 
forms, one for nonprofit agencies serving people who are blind and one
