proposed action.
If the Committee approves the proposed addition, all entities of
the Federal Government (except as otherwise indicated) will be required
to procure the service 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 service to the
Government.
2. The action does not appear to have a severe economic impact on
current contractors for the service.
3. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish
the service 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 service proposed for addition to the
Procurement List.
Comments on this certification are invited. Commenters should
