SUMMARY: The Committee has received proposals to add to the Procurement
List a commodity and services to be furnished by nonprofit agencies
employing persons who are blind or have other severe disabilities.
COMMENTS MUST BE RECEIVED ON OR BEFORE: July 6, 1998.
ADDRESSES: Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely

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 commodity and 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 commodity and
services to the Government.
2. The action does not appear to have a severe economic impact on
current contractors for the commodity and services.
3. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish
the commodity 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 commodity and 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.

addition to Procurement List for production by the nonprofit agencies
