SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Committee imposes certain requirements 
on nonprofit agencies that participate in the Javits-Wagner-O'Day 
(JWOD) Program. The requirements being proposed are recordkeeping for 
specific product families and services sold under the JWOD Act. This is 
a change in current requirements that only require records be kept and 
reported in the aggregate, rather than by specific JWOD product family 
or service. If approved, recordkeeping shall reflect dollar sales of 
each product and service sold under the authority of JWOD Act, direct 
labor hours performed by all workers on each product and service sold 
under the JWOD Act, and files which document the disability and 
competitive employability of each worker counted toward the nonprofit 
agencies' ratio of disabled direct labor. Such records and files are 
required to ensure the effective administration of the JWOD Program and 
to ensure that nonprofit agencies seeking to participate in the 
Committee's program meet the requirements of 41 U.S.C. 46-48(c).

G. John Heyer,
General Counsel.
