SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On February 1, 2002, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (67 FR 4944) of proposed addition to the Procurement List. After consideration of the material presented to it concerning capability of the qualified nonprofit agency to provide the service and impact of the addition on the current or most recent contractor, 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.

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 organization that will furnish the service to the Government.

2. The action will result in authorizing a small entity to furnish the services 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.

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

Service

Service Type/Location: Facilities Maintenance Services, U.S. Courthouse and Federal Office Building, Central Islip, New York.

NPA: The Corporate Source, Inc., New York, New York.

Contract Activity: GSA, Public Buildings Service, Brooklyn, New York.

This action does not affect current contracts awarded prior to the effective date of this addition or options that may be exercised under those contracts.
