blind over products produced and 

offered for sale by qualified nonprofit 

agencies for other severely handicapped 

(41 U.S.C. 47(d)(2)). National Industries 

for the Blind (NIB) has not previously 

waived the priority for all staplers in the 

stapler line. Spring powered staplers 

have been available to the Government 

from commercial vendors via GSA 

schedule contracts concurrent with the 

sale of the nonprofit’s standard stapler 

for a considerable time; therefore the 

addition to the Procurement List of 

spring powered staplers will not have a 

severe adverse impact on the sale of 

standard staplers by the nonprofit 

agency. 

The following material pertains to all 

of the items being added 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 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 

Accordingly, the following products 

and services are added to the 

Procurement List:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

19, 2008, the Bureau of Industry and 

Security (BIS) published a notice of

comments regarding two specific 

recommendations made by the Deemed 

Export Advisory Committee (DEAC) 

with respect to the Bureau of Industry 

and Security’s (BIS’s) deemed export 

licensing policy. BIS is continuing to 

seek comments on whether the scope of 

technologies on the Commerce Control 

List that are subject to deemed export 

licensing requirements should be 

narrowed, and if so, which technologies 

should be subject to deemed export 

licensing requirements. Additionally, 

BIS is continuing to seek comments on 

whether a more comprehensive set of 

criteria should be used to assess country 

affiliation for foreign nationals with 

respect to deemed exports. 

The original deadline for comments 

was August 18, 2008. BIS is now 

reopening the comment period to allow 

the public more time to comment on
