SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Committee's longstanding convention is 
to publish its proposed and final notices on Friday each week; however, 
the notices that should have been published on Friday, 01/02/2009 were 
published on Monday, 01/05/2009 instead. Interested members of the 
Public can see 74 FR 260, 261 for the proposed additions and deletions 
to the Procurement List that were published on Monday, 01/05/2009 
instead of Friday, 01/02/2009.

Additions

    On 10/10/2008 and 11/7/2008, the Committee for Purchase From People 
Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notices (73 FR 60236, 
60237 and 73 FR 66216, 66217) of proposed additions to the Procurement 
List.
    After consideration of the material presented to it concerning 
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the product and 
services and impact of the additions on the current or most recent 
contractors, the Committee has determined that the product 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 product and services 
to the Government.
    2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the product and services 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 product and services proposed for addition 
to the Procurement List.

    Accordingly, the following product and services are added to the
