SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background: The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or 
Severely Disabled is an independent government agency operating as the 
U.S. AbilityOne Commission. It 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.
    Registration: Attendees not requesting speaking time must register 
not later than 11:59 p.m. ET on April 12, 2023. Attendees requesting 
speaking time should register not later than 11:59 p.m. ET on April 3, 
2023, and use the comment fields in the registration form to specify 
the intended speaking topic/s. The registration link is posted on the 
Commission's home page, www.abilityone.gov.
    Commission Statement: This regular quarterly meeting will include 
updates from the Commission Chairperson, Executive Director, and 
Inspector General. A panel of nonprofit, for-profit, and government 
leaders will discuss subcontracting by and with AbilityOne Program 
participants. The panel will discuss how such subcontracts can 
facilitate workplace integration and pathways to employment outside the 
AbilityOne Program.
    Public Participation: The Commission invites public comments and 
suggestions about subcontracting and other partnerships with industry 
by or with AbilityOne employers. During registration, you may choose to 
submit comments, or you may request speaking time at the meeting. The 
Commission may invite some attendees who submit advance comments to 
discuss their comments during the meeting. Comments submitted will be 
reviewed by staff and the Commission members before the meeting. 
Comments posted in the chat box during the meeting will be shared with 
the Commission members after the meeting. The Commission is not subject 
to the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 552(b); however, the Commission 
published this notice to encourage the broadest possible participation 
in its meeting.
    Personal Information: Do not include any information that you do 
not want publicly disclosed.

Michael R. Jurkowski,
Acting Director, Business Operations.
