SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For the purpose of providing individuals who 
are blind with remunerative employment, enlarging their economic 
opportunities, and stimulating greater efforts to make themselves self-
supporting, the Randolph-Sheppard Act, 20 U.S.C. 107 et seq. (Act), 
authorizes individuals who are blind to operate vending facilities on 
Federal property and provides them with a priority for doing so. The 
vending facilities include, among other things, cafeterias, snack bars, 
and automatic vending machines. The Department administers the Act and 
designates an agency in each State--the State Licensing Agency (SLA)--
to license individuals who are blind to operate vending facilities on 
Federal and other property in the State.
    The Act requires arbitration of disputes between SLAs and vendors 
who are blind and between SLAs and Federal agencies before three-person 
panels convened by the Department whose decisions constitute final 
agency action. 20 U.S.C. 107d-1. The Act also makes these decisions 
matters of public record and requires their publication in the Federal 
Register. 20 U.S.C. 107d-2(c).
    On September 5, 2017, the Department announced that it would 
publish quarterly lists of Randolph-Sheppard arbitration panel 
decisions in the Federal Register and that the full text of the 
decisions listed would be available on the Department's website or by 
request (see 82 FR 41941).
    In the fourth quarter of 2017, Randolph-Sheppard arbitration panels 
issued the following decision.
