On August 29, and October 3, 2003, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (68 FR 51962 and 57403) of proposed additions to the Procurement List.

2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish the products and service to the Government.
