Summary

The Commission proposes to add a new qualification requirement. The requirement provides that for each nonprofit agency ("NPA") that seeks to qualify or maintain its qualifications under the AbilityOne Program, the NPA must certify that it will not pay subminimum wages using special wage certificates authorized under section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to employees on all contracts or subcontracts awarded, extended (other than through the exercise of an option) or renewed under the program after the effective date of the final rule.

The agency’s own summary, as published.
