SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 22, 2005, the Committee for Purchase 
From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (70 FR 
42301) of proposed additions to the Procurement List.
    After consideration of the material presented to it concerning 
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the product and 
impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractors, the 
Committee has determined that the product listed below is 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 will not result in any additional reporting, 
recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small entities other 
than the small organizations that will furnish the product to the 
Government.
    2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the product 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 product proposed for addition to the 
Procurement List.

End of Certification

    Accordingly, the following product is added to the Procurement 
List:

    This action does not affect current contracts awarded prior to the 
effective date of this addition or options that may be exercised under 
those contracts.
