2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish the products and services to the Government.

3. There are no known regulatory alternatives which would accomplish the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 USC 8501-8506) in connection with the products and services proposed for addition to the Procurement List.

A comment was received from a Department of the Army civilian program staff member who expressed opposition to adding the Combat Arms Ear Plugs (ear plugs) to the Procurement List due to his concern that it could impact on-going studies into other ear protection for Army soldiers. The Army program office subsequently withdrew their objection and indicated their support for adding the ear plugs to the Procurement List while acknowledging that the Army may continue other ear protection studies if it is determined appropriate.

Accordingly, following a deliberative review of all information, the Committee has determined that it is appropriate to add the ear plugs specified by the National Stock Numbers (NSNs) referenced to the Procurement List.
