SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published pursuant to 41 
U.S.C. 47(a) (2) and 41 CFR 51-2.3. Its purpose is to provide 
interested persons an opportunity to submit comments on the possible 
impact of the proposed actions.
    If the Committee approves the proposed additions, all entities of 
the Federal Government (except as otherwise indicated) will be required 
to procure the services listed below from nonprofit agencies employing 
persons who are blind or have other severe disabilities. 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 services to the 
Government.
    2. The action does not appear to have a severe economic impact on 
current contractors for the services.
    3. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the 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-
48c) in connection with the services proposed for addition to the 
Procurement List. Comments on this certification are invited. 
Commenters should identify the statement(s) underlying the 
certification on which they are providing additional information.
