Abstract: The regulations at 41 CFR 51 require that nonprofit agencies participating in the AbilityOne (formerly JWOD) Program record all direct labor hours performed by each worker. For those workers who are blind or severely disabled, files documenting their disability and capacity for competitive employment must be maintained. In addition, nonprofit agencies must keep records that track direct labor or revenues for products or services sold through an AbilityOne Program contract.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Committee has used a burden estimate of 5 hours per agency since 2002. However, after review and consideration of comments on the issue, the Committee agrees that 5 hours per agency is inaccurate and that the burden is much higher. The Committee believes that a reasonable burden estimate is 2.5 hours per person that is blind or severely disabled. Currently, there are over 600 nonprofit agencies participating in the AbilityOne Program with employee numbers ranging from less than 10 to more than 2,000; therefore, the Committee has determined that, on average, the burden for an agency is greater than the previous estimate.
