Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 72 / Friday, April 14, 2006 / Notices
On February 13, 2006, APHIS
published a notice 1 in the Federal
Register (70 FR 7504–7505, Docket No.
APHIS–2006–0016) announcing the
availability of an environmental
assessment (EA) for the proposed field
trial. During the 30-day comment
period, APHIS received two comments.
One comment was from an individual
and the other was from a public interest
group. Both commenters objected to the
field release described in the EA.
APHIS’ response to those comments can
be found as an attachment to the finding
of no significant impact (FONSI) and
decision notice.
Pursuant to its regulations (7 CFR part
340) promulgated under the Plant
Protection Act, APHIS has determined
that this field trial will not pose a risk
of the introduction or dissemination of
a plant pest. Additionally, based upon
analysis described in the EA, APHIS has
determined that the action proposed in
Alternative C of the EA, to issue the
permit with additional permit
conditions, will not have a significant
impact on the quality of the human
environment. You may read the FONSI
and decision notice on the Internet or in
the APHIS reading room (see ADDRESSES
above).
The EA and FONSI were prepared in
accordance with: (1) The National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq.), (2) regulations of the Council on
Environmental Quality for
implementing the procedural provisions
of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), (3)
USDA regulations implementing NEPA
(7 CFR part 1b), and (4) APHIS’ NEPA
Implementing Procedures (7 CFR part
372). Copies of the EA and FONSI are
available from the individual listed
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 7701–7772 and 7781–
7786; 31 U.S.C. 9701; 7 CFR 2.22, 2.80, and
371.3.
Done in Washington, DC, this 10th day of
April, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
ADDRESSES:
Additions
On January 20, and February 17, 2006,
the Committee for Purchase From
People Who Are Blind or Severely
Disabled published notice (71 FR 3259,
and 8565) 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 service and impact of
the additions on the current or most
recent contractors, the Committee has
determined that the product and service
listed below are suitable for
procurement by the Federal Government
under 41 U.S.C. 46–48c and 41 CFR 51–
2.4.
The Following Comments Pertain to
Filter, Element Coalescer
Comments were received from the
most recent contractor for the Filter,
Element Coalescer, in response to a
request for sales data. The contractor
stated that it held four contracts for this
product in 2004, during which the
contractor made considerable
investments in capital equipment. The
contractor also indicated intent to make
further investments to produce the
product for future contracts. The
contractor stated that it makes the
product on Native American property,
with nearly all its employees being
Native Americans. According to the
contractor, loss of the opportunity to
produce this product for the
Government will result in discharge of
about twenty people, who will have
very few employment areas in that
depressed area. Government records
show that the four contracts this
contractor cited are the only contracts
for this product which this contractor
E:\FR\FM\14APN1.SGM
14APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 72 / Friday, April 14, 2006 / Notices
has held. Furthermore, the value of
those contracts was less than ten
percent of the contractor’s total sales.
Therefore, the contractor cannot be
considered dependent on contracts for
the product. In addition, because the
contractor would not be guaranteed to
receive future contracts if the product
remained in the competitive bidding
system, the contractor’s inability to
recoup its capital investment is not a
significant factor in the Committee’s
impact decision. The Government has
not purchased this product since 2004.
Consequently, it is likely that any job
loss attributable to the product will have
already occurred. In view of these facts,
the Committee has concluded that
addition of the product to the
Procurement List is not likely to have a
severe adverse impact on the contractor.
The following material pertains to all
of the items being added to the
Procurement List.
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 service to the Government.
2. The action will result in
authorizing small entities to furnish the
product and service 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 product and service
proposed for addition to the
Procurement List.

under 41 U.S.C. 46–48c and 41 CFR 51–
