    On August 1, 2008, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are 
Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (73 F.R. 44960-44961) of

Committee has determined that the 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 service to the 
Government.
    2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the service 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 service proposed for addition to the 
Procurement List.

End of Certification

    Accordingly, the following service is added to the Procurement

    After consideration of the relevant matter presented, the Committee 
has determined that the products listed below are no longer suitable
