SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Additions

    On 7/29/2016 (81 FR 49960-49961), the Committee for Purchase From 
People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice of proposed 
additions to the Procurement List.
    After consideration of the material presented to it concerning 
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the products and 
impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractors, the 
Committee has determined that the products listed below are suitable 
for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 8501-8506 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 to the 
Government.
    2. The action will result in authorizing small entities 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.

End of Certification

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

Disabled published notices of proposed deletions from the Procurement 
List.
    After consideration of the relevant matter presented, the Committee
