    The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled has announced changes to the Procurement List, effective January 19, 2025. This update involves removing certain products and services that were previously provided by nonprofit agencies employing individuals who are blind or have severe disabilities. Products being deleted include various sizes of Army jackets and trousers, a wall clock, and toilet tissue. Additionally, grounds maintenance services at specific army reserve centers and engineers' headquarters will be affected. This decision is made under the provisions of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act, without significantly impacting small businesses.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is making changes by removing some jackets, trousers, a clock, and toilet paper from a special list of things that people with disabilities make. It also means that these folks might not do some cleaning jobs at army places anymore.

These dolphins, aged 11 to 24 years, include three common bottlenose dolphins and two Black Sea bottlenose dolphins. The permit sought under the Marine Mammal Protection Act would last for five years, and the public can submit comments on this application by February 3, 2025. The proposed activity has been preliminarily excluded from needing an environmental assessment.
