Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled 
published notice (67 FR 43582, 55776, 58014, 59249, 62224, 64351, 65531 
and 68091) of proposed additions to the Procurement List. After 
consideration of the material presented to it concerning capability of 
qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the products and services and 
impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractors, the 
Committee has determined that the products and services listed below 
are suitable for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 
46-48c and 41 CFR 51-2.4.
    I certify that the following action will not have a significant 
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The major factors 
considered for this certification were:
    1. The action will not result in any additional reporting, 
recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small entities other 
than the small organizations that will furnish the products and 
services to the Government.
    2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the products and services to the Government.
    3. There are no known regulatory alternatives which would 
accomplish the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46-
48c) in connection with the products and services proposed for addition 
to the Procurement List.
    Accordingly, the following products and services are added to the 
Procurement List:
