If the Committee approves the proposed additions, all entities of
the Federal Government (except as otherwise indicated) will be required
to procure the commodities and services listed below from nonprofit

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 commodities and
services to the Government.
2. The action does not appear to have a severe adverse impact on
current contractors for the commodities and services.
3. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish
the commodities 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-
48c) in connection with the commodities and services proposed for
addition to the Procurement List.
Comments on this certification are invited. Commenters should
