SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Addition

On March 19, 2004, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (69 F.R. 13019) of proposed additions to the Procurement List. The Federal Register proposed addition on March 19, 2004 identified the service as Furniture Rehabilitation Service. Review of the scope of work led to a decision to change the title of this Procurement List addition to more accurately reflect the work being done.

After consideration of the material presented to it concerning capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the service and impact of the addition on the current or most recent contractors, the Committee has determined that the service listed below is suitable for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 46-48c and 41 CFR 51-2.4.

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification

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 will result in authorizing small entities to furnish the service to the Government.

3. 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.

End of Certification

Accordingly, the following service is added to the Procurement List:

Service
