On May 5, 2006, the Committee for Purchase From People Who are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (71 FR 26451) of proposed additions to the Procurement List.

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 a service to the Government.

2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish the products and a service 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 a service proposed for addition to the Procurement List.
