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 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.

End of Certification

    Accordingly, the following products and services are added to the 
Procurement List:

    The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely 
Disabled (Committee) operates pursuant to statutory and regulatory 
requirements. The Committee regulation at 41 CFR part 51-2-4 states 
that for a commodity or service to be suitable for addition to the 
Procurement List each of the following criteria must be reviewed and 
determined satisfactory under Committee practice and procedure: 
employment potential; nonprofit agency qualifications, capability, 
and level of impact on the current contractor for the commodity or 
service. The Javits-Wagner-O'Day (JWOD) Act requires that projects 
added to the Procurement List must be provided by qualified 
nonprofit agencies that employ people who are blind or severely 
disabled for not less than 75% of the direct hours required for the 
production or provision of products or services during each fiscal 
year.
    Comments were received from the 3 contractors that supply these 
types of products to the Government. Each contractor indicates that 
loss of the sales of these or similar products would constitute 
severe adverse impact on their company. However, following Committee 
procedures, each contractor submitted financial information 
requested by the Committee in order to determine the impact of 
adding these products to the Procurement List. Upon review and 
consideration of the financial data submitted by the contractors, it 
is determined that, under Committee procedures, the addition of 
these products will not constitute severe adverse impact. 
Accordingly, the Committee has decided to add these products to the 
Procurement List.
