providing specific information that will 

serve as the basis for any required 

impact analyses, applicants will also be 

required to cooperate with NOAA in 

identifying feasible measures to reduce 

or avoid any identified adverse 

environmental impacts of their

shall be grounds for not selecting an 

application. In some cases if additional 

information is required after an 

application is selected, funds can be 

withheld by the Grants Officer under a 

special award condition requiring the 

recipient to submit additional 

environmental compliance information 

sufficient to enable NOAA to make an 

assessment on any impacts that a project 

may have on the environment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Additions 

On 12/18/2009 (74 FR 67176–67177), 

the Committee for Purchase From 

People Who Are Blind or Severely 

Disabled published notice of proposed 

additions to the Procurement List. 

Comments were received from the 

incumbent contractor indicating that 

adding Warehouse—Receiving & 

Distribution Services to the 

Procurement List would result in 

negative economic and business impact 

to its company. The contractor also 

commented that it has worked in 

partnership with the government for 

over nine years to provide consistently 

excellent service, innovation and best 

value. Finally, the contractor questioned 

the qualifications and capabilities of 

persons with certain disabilities to 

perform some of the functions of this 

service. 

The Committee for Purchase From 

People Who Are Blind or Severely 

Disabled (Committee) operates pursuant 

to statutory and regulatory 

requirements. Committee decisions on 

what items are suitable for addition to 

the Procurement List are specifically 

guided by regulations in 41 CFR Chapter 

51. The Committee regulation states that 

for a commodity or service to be suitable 

for addition to the Procurement List 

each of the following criteria must be 

satisfied: Employment potential; 

nonprofit agency qualifications, 

capability, and level of impact on the 

current contractor for the commodity or 

service. 

The Committee, as an independent 

federal agency, is responsible for 

implementing the Javits-Wagner-O’Day 

Act. In accordance with the Act and the 

Code of Federal Regulations, the 

Committee determines which products 

and services produced and/or provided 

by nonprofit agencies employing people 

who are blind or with other severe 

disabilities are suitable for procurement 

by the government. The members 

independently consider and 

appropriately decide whether each 

product or service meets its established 

criteria for addition to the Procurement 

List. While the incumbent contractor 

has stated that this addition would 

result in adverse impact to his company, 

the evaluation by the Committee had 

determined that it would not result in 

severe adverse financial impact. The 

Committee has also determined that the 

nonprofit agency—and its employees— 

is capable and qualified to provide the 

service to the government. Therefore, in 

this situation, all four criteria have been 

evaluated by the Committee and the 

service has been determined to be 

suitable for addition to the Procurement 

List. 

The Committee appreciates the 

struggle of small business at the local 

level to maintain training and 

employment opportunities. However, 

the obligation of the Committee is to 

focus on increasing opportunities for 

nonprofit agencies employing people 

who are blind or with other severe 

disabilities. 

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-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46–48c) in 

connection with the products and 

services proposed for addition to the 

Procurement List. 

End of Certification

and services are added to the 

Procurement List:
