What the agency says
This notice proposes to amend the Committee regulation at 41 CFR 51-3.5 to formally codify the congressionally mandated requirements set forth in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016, Public Law 114-113, Division H, Title IV, 129 Stat. 2639, December 18, 2015, which requires the central nonprofit agencies to enter into a written agreement with the Committee before charging fees to nonprofit agencies. This notice also proposes to amend the Committee's regulation at 41 CFR 51-4.4 to clarify the definition of subcontracting within the AbilityOne Program, amend and reduce regulatory requirements to subcontract, streamline the approval process for use of subcontracting, and lessen the administrative burdens for selecting subcontractors.
