E6-6014 Filed 4-20-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6353-01-P COMMITTEE FOR PURCHASE FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE BLIND OR SEVERELY DISABLED Procurement List; Additions and Deletions AGENCY: Committee for Purchase From People Who are Blind or Severely Disabled. ACTION: Additions to and deletions from Procurement List. SUMMARY: This action adds to the Procurement List products and services to be furnished by nonprofit agencies employing persons who are blind or have other severe disabilities, and deletes from the Procurement List products and a service previously furnished by such agencies. DATES: *Effective Date:* May 21, 2006. ADDRESSES: Committee for Purchase From People Who are Blind or Severely Disabled, Jefferson Plaza 2, Suite 10800, 1421 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, Virginia, 22202-3259.

(703)603-0655, or e-mail *mbell@jwod.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Additions On February 17, and February 24, 2006, the Committee for Purchase From People Who are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (71 FR 8565, and 9517) of proposed additions to the Procurement List. The following comments pertain to V-Belt. Comments were received from the current contractor for the V-belts, in response to a request for sales data. The contractor claimed that losing the contract for these belts would have a significant impact on the corporation's revenue and on the government supply chain for the belts. The contractor also stated that losing these belts would affect its pricing for other belts. Finally, the contractor stated that it is working with a local blind organization in the Committee's program for packaging, warehousing and shipping services. The amount of revenue the contractor may lose as a result of this addition to the Procurement List is well below the level which the Committee normally considers to constitute severe adverse impact on a contractor. The nonprofit organization which will supply the belts has been found capable of meeting government requirements, including delivery times. The government contracting activity considers the price it will pay for these belts to be reasonable. The contractor's price for other belts is outside the Committee's control. The blind organization is not working with the contractor on these belts, so their addition to the Procurement List should not affect the relationship between these two entities. Accordingly, the Committee believes that it is appropriate to add these belts to the Procurement List. 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 products 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-Wagner-O'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: Products *Product/NSN:* Remanufactured Ink Cartridges (USDA, Farm Service Agency, Kansas City, Missouri Only). 7510-00-NSH-0114—Black. *NPA:* Thresholds Rehabilitation Inc., Chicago, Illinois. *Contracting Activity:* USDA, Farm Service Agency, Kansas City, Missouri. *Product/NSNs:* V Belt. 3030-01-017-4340—0.50 × 37 inches. 3030-01-387-5679—0.38 × 30.0 inches. 3030-01-200-6004—0.688 × 43.125 inches. 3030-01-271-3754—1.125 × 68.0 inches. 3030-01-293-8544—1.125 × 60.5 inches. 3030-01-146-7057—47.75 × 0.785 inches. 3030-01-387-5760—0.38 × 43.0 inches. 3030-01-466-9476—29.480 mm. 3030-00-844-4456—.050 × 58.0 inches. *NPA:* East Texas Lighthouse for the Blind, Tyler, Texas. *Contracting Activity:* Defense Supply Center Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Deletions On February 24, 2006, the Committee for Purchase From People Who are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (71 FR 9517) of proposed deletions to the Procurement List. After consideration of the relevant matter presented, the Committee has determined that the products and service listed below are no longer suitable for procurement by the Federal government under 41 U.S.C. 46-48c and 41 CFR 51-2.4.

E6-6015 Filed 4-20-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6353-01-P BROADCASTING BOARD OF GOVERNORS Sunshine Act Meeting Date and Time: Tuesday, April 25, 2006, 2-3 p.m. Place: Radio Free Asia, Conference Room, 2025 M Street, NW., Washington, DC 20036. Closed Meeting: The members of the Broadcasting Board of Governors
(BBG)will meet in closed session to review and discuss a number of issues relating to U.S. Government-funded non-military international broadcasting. They will address internal procedural, budgetary, and personnel issues, as well as sensitive foreign policy issues relating to potential options in the U.S. international broadcasting field. This meeting is closed because if open it likely would either disclose matters that would be properly classified to be kept secret in the interest of foreign policy under the appropriate executive order (5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) or would disclose information the premature disclosure of which would be likely to significantly frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action. (5 U.S.C. 52b(c)(9)(B)). In addition, part of the discussion will relate solely to the internal personnel and organizational issues of the BBG or the International Broadcasting Bureau. (5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(2) and (6)). Contact Person for More Information: Persons interested in obtaining more information should contact Carol Booker at
(202)203-4545. Dated: April 17, 2006. Carol Booker, Legal Counsel. [FR Doc. 06-3847 Filed 4-19-06; 8:45 am]
