CCEVS Announcement Impact


The US scheme has made the following announcement which appears on their website:
 
Due to fiscal constraints, beginning on October 1, 2006, for FY07, the NIAP CCEVS will only accept Medium and High Robustness PP compliant products in support of National Security customers. Product submissions meeting the above criteria will be queued and validation resources will be allocated as they become available. As a condition of acceptance, detailed letters of intent that identify the intended DoD or IC customer (containing POC name, organizations, email, phone number) will be required. 

This seems to force developers to get products evaluated overseas if they do not want to meet the Medium or High Robustness PPs.  What effect might this have on US labs?  How does this announcement effect National Directives?  
 
My colleagues and I are hoping to gain some insight into the situation and the impact of the seemingly sudden scheme announcement.
