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 additional reporting, recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small entities.
2. The action may result in authorizing small entities to furnish the product(s) and service(s) 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(s) and service(s) deleted from the Procurement List.

On August 6, 2026 the Commission proposed the products listed above for deletion from the Procurement List (PL) (91 FR 50812). The Commission received one public comment, with the commenter suggesting that prior to proposing products for PL deletion the Commission should evaluate various employment-related consequences for individuals who are blind or have a significant disability. However, because each of the products proposed for deletion are either no longer being produced by the nonprofit agency or the purchase demand is too low further evaluation is unnecessary. See 41 CFR 51-6.8(b).
