Arbitration Panel Decision Under the Randolph-Sheppard Act

Notice is hereby given that on April 13, 1992, an arbitration panel rendered a decision in the matter of Malcolm Graham v. Texas Commission for the Blind (Docket No. R-S/90-2). This panel was convened by the U.S. Department of Education pursuant to 20 U.S.C. 107d-1(a) upon receipt of the original complaint filed by petitioner Malcolm Graham on January 8, 1990. The Randolph-Sheppard Act (the Act) creates a priority for blind individuals to operate vending facilities on Federal property and also governs the operation of blind-operated vending facilities on State or other property. Under section 107d-1(a), a blind licensee dissatisfied with the State's operation or administration of the vending facility program authorized under the Act may request a full evidentiary hearing from the State licensing agency (SLA). If the licensee is dissatisfied with the State agency's decision, the licensee may complain to the Secretary, who is then required to convene an arbitration panel to resolve the dispute.
