SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    On September 18 and October 9, 1998, the Committee for Purchase 
From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notices (63 FR 
49896 and 54436) of proposed additions to and deletions from the 
Procurement List:

Additions

    After consideration of the material presented to it concerning 
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the commodity and 
services and impact of the additions on the current or most recent 
contractors, the Committee has determined that the commodity 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.
    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 commodity and 
services to the Government.
    2. The action will not have a severe economic impact on current 
contractors for the commodity and services.
    3. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the commodity and services to the Government.

    4. There are no known regulatory alternatives which would 
accomplish the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46-

addition to the Procurement List.
    Accordingly, the following commodity and services are hereby added

the commodities to the Government.

accomplish the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46-
48c) in connection with the commodities deleted from the Procurement 
List.
    After consideration of the relevant matter presented, the Committee
