Arbitration Panel Decision Under the Randolph-Sheppard Act

Notice is hereby given that on May 5, 1994, an arbitration panel rendered a decision in the matter of Maryland State Department of Education, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services v. United States Department of Veterans Affairs (Docket No. R-S/92-11). This panel was convened by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education pursuant to the Randolph Sheppard Act (the Act), 20 U.S.C. 107d-1(b), upon receipt of a complaint filed by the Maryland State Department of Education, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services (DORS). The Act creates a priority for blind individuals to operate vending facilities on Federal property. Under section 107d-1(b) of the Act, the State licensing agency (SLA) may file a complaint with the Secretary if the SLA determines that an agency managing or controlling Federal property fails to comply with the Act or regulations implementing the Act. The Secretary then is required to convene an arbitration panel to resolve the dispute.
