SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Addition 

On December 3, 2004, the Committee 

for Purchase From People Who Are 

Blind or Severely Disabled published 

notice (69 F.R. 70223) of proposed 

additions to the Procurement List. 

The following comments pertain to 

Tape, Pressure Sensitive. 

Comments were received from the 

current contractor for these tapes in 

response to a Committee request for 

sales data. The contractor stated that it 

would experience an initial drop in 

sales volume, followed by termination 

of three employees, all with families, 

immediately. The contractor also noted 

that it had recently been certified as a 

participant in the 8(a) program. 

The percentage of its sales which the 

contractor stated it would lose is well 

below the level which the Committee 

normally considers to constitute severe 

adverse impact. The current contract 

was not awarded under the 8(a) 

program, so the Committee’s policy on 

refraining from adding products and 

services on 8(a) contracts to the 

Procurement List is not applicable in 

this situation. Taking all these 

circumstances into account, the 

Committee considers it appropriate to 

add the tapes to the Procurement List 

and create jobs for blind persons, whose 

unemployment rate is higher than the 

persons who will likely lose their jobs 

as a result of the Committee’s action. 

The following material pertains to 

item being added 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. 

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

Products 

Product/NSN: Tape, Pressure Sensitive; 

7510–00–266–6707; 7510–00–266–6708;

matter presented, the Committee has
