    On 3/16/2018 (83 FR 52), the Committee for Purchase From People Who 
Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice of proposed addition to 
the Procurement List.

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:

recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small entities other 
than the small organization that will furnish the products to the 
Government.
    2. The action will result in authorizing a small entity to furnish 
the products 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. 
8501-8506) in connection with the products proposed for addition to the 
Procurement List.
