SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Additions

    On 7/2/2010 (75 FR 38467-38468) and 7/9/2010 (75 FR 39497-39499), 
the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely 
Disabled published Notices of proposed additions to the Procurement 
List.
    Comments were received from a nonprofit agency that was not 
selected as the designated nonprofit agency to perform the Janitorial 
and Grounds Service at the Alan Bible Federal Building and Lloyd George 
U.S. Courthouse in Las Vegas, NV. In its comments, the nonprofit agency 
questions the fairness of the process used by the central nonprofit 
agency to identify the nonprofit agency to perform this project.
    The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely 
Disabled (Committee) operates pursuant to statutory and regulatory 
requirements. In accordance with these requirements, the Committee has 
designated central nonprofit agencies to perform certain duties, 
including facilitating the distribution of Government orders for goods 
and services among qualified nonprofit agencies. The central nonprofit 
agencies have established order distribution procedures which include 
dispute resolution processes. Accordingly, in this instance, if a 
qualified nonprofit agency questions the fairness of the order 
distribution process conducted by the central nonprofit agency, they 
must utilize the established dispute resolution process.
    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.

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.
