TITLE 20--EDUCATION
CHAPTER 6A--VENDING FACILITIES FOR BLIND IN FEDERAL BUILDINGS
Sec. 107d-1. Grievances of blind licensees
(a) Hearing and arbitration
Any blind licensee who is dissatisfied with any action arising from
the operation or administration of the vending facility program may
submit to a State licensing agency a request for a full evidentiary
hearing, which shall be provided by such agency in accordance with
section 107b(6) of this title. If such blind licensee is dissatisfied
with any action taken or decision rendered as a result of such hearing,
he may file a complaint with the Secretary who shall convene a panel to
arbitrate the dispute pursuant to section 107d-2 of this title, and the
decision of such panel shall be final and binding on the parties except
as otherwise provided in this chapter.
(b) Noncompliance by Federal departments and agencies; complaints by
State licensing agencies; arbitration
Whenever any State licensing agency determines that any department,
agency, or instrumentality of the United States that has control of the
maintenance, operation, and protection of Federal property is failing to
comply with the provisions of this chapter or any regulations issued
thereunder (including a limitation on the placement or operation of a
vending facility as described in section 107(b) of this title and the
Secretary's determination thereon) such licensing agency may file a
complaint with the Secretary who shall convene a panel to arbitrate the
dispute pursuant to section 107d-2 of this title, and the decision of
such panel shall be final and binding on the parties except as otherwise
provided in this chapter.
(June 20, 1936, ch. 638, Sec. 5, as added Pub. L. 93-516, title II,
Sec. 206, Dec. 7, 1974, 88 Stat. 1626; Pub. L. 93-651, title II,
Sec. 206, Nov. 21, 1974, 89 Stat. 2-11.)
Codification
The content of Pub. L. 93-516, including provisions of section 206
thereof which enacted this section, were originally contained in H.R.
14225, 93rd Congress, Second Session, which was pocket-vetoed during the
31-day intrasession adjournment of the 93rd Congress for the
Congressional elections in November, 1974.
Pursuant to an order of the United States District Court for the
District of Columbia (Kennedy v. Jones, D.C.D.C. 1976, 412 F.Supp. 353)
H.R. 14225 was deemed to have become law without the approval of the
President on Nov. 21, 1974, and was given the designation Pub. L. 93-
651. Therefore, for purposes of codification, this section should be
deemed to have been enacted by Pub. L. 93-651, title II, Sec. 206, Nov.
21, 1974, 89 Stat. 2-11, in exactly the same manner as it was enacted by
Pub. L. 93-516.
Prior Provisions
A prior section 5 of act of June 20, 1936, which was classified to
section 107d of this title, was renumbered section 4 by Pub. L. 93-516,
Sec. 206.
Section Referred to in Other Sections
This section is referred to in sections 107b, 107d-2 of this title.
