    On 1/19/2018 (83 FR 13), the Committee for Purchase From People Who 
Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice of proposed addition to

    After consideration of the material presented to it concerning

Committee has determined that the product listed below is suitable for

    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 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. 
8501-8506) in connection with the product proposed for addition to the 
Procurement List.
