[Federal Register Volume 59, Number 135 (Friday, July 15, 1994)] [Unknown Section] [Page 0] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 94-17239] [[Page Unknown]] [Federal Register: July 15, 1994] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Office of the Secretary 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 These regulations were superseded when the Randolph-Sheppard Act Amendments of 1974, Public Law 93-651, November 21, 1974, designated the Rehabilitative Services Administration of the then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. List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 1 Administrative regulations, Vending stands. For the reasons set forth in the preamble, Title 7, Part 1 of the Code of Federal Regulations is amended as follows: PART 1--ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS 1. The authority citation for part 1 continues to read as follows: Authority: 5 U.S.C. 301, unless otherwise noted. 2. Part 1 is amended by removing Subpart F (Secs. 1.91-1.94). Signed at Washington, DC, on July 7, 1994. Mike Espy, Secretary. [FR Doc. 94-17239 Filed 7-14-94; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3410-98-M
