SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Deletions

    On October 26, November 16 and November 30, 2007, the Committee for 
Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published 
notice (72 FR 60797; 64576; 67698) of proposed deletions to the 
Procurement List.
    After consideration of the relevant matter presented, the Committee 
has determined that the products and services listed below are no 
longer suitable for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 
U.S.C. 46-48c and 41 CFR 51-2.4.

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification

    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 should not result in additional reporting, 
recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small entities.
    2. The action may 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 deleted from the 
Procurement List.
