Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 164 / Friday, August 22, 2008 / Notices
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:

ADDRESSES:
On May
19, 2008, the Bureau of Industry and
Security (BIS) published a notice of
inquiry (73 FR 28795) to elicit
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
this notice of inquiry. The new
comment period will end September 22,
2008.
