facilitate their participation in the

program. NIB and NISH, predominantly

NISH, have about 1,000 associated

NPAs that are interested in participating

in the JWOD Program but have not yet

received authorization to provide a

particular JWOD product or service. A

sample of these organizations will

receive a survey very similar to the one

being used for JWOD-participating

NPAs with some differences in

questions. Data will be used as a

comparison to augment analysis of

impacts on JWOD-participating NPAs.

on the current or most recent

organizations that will furnish the

services to the Government.

2. The action will not have a severe

economic impact on current contractors

for the services.

3. The action will result in

authorizing small entities to furnish the

services to the Government.

4. There are no known regulatory

alternatives which would accomplish

the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46–48c) in

for addition to the Procurement List.

Accordingly, the following services

are hereby added to the Procurement

List:

authorizing small entities to furnish the
