SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

September 27 and October 25, 1996, the

Committee for Purchase From People

Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled

published notices (61 F.R. 50804 and

55268) of proposed additions to the

Procurement List.

After consideration of the material

presented to it concerning capability of

qualified nonprofit agencies to provide

the commodities and service and impact

of the additions on the current or most

recent contractors, the Committee has

determined that the commodities and

service listed below are 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

organizations that will furnish the

commodities and service to the

Government.

2. The action will not have a severe

economic impact on current contractors

for the commodities and service.

3. The action will result in

authorizing small entities to furnish the

commodities and service 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

connection with the commodities and

service proposed for addition to the

Procurement List.

Accordingly, the following

commodities and service are hereby

added to the Procurement List:

Commodities

Cap, Garrison, Men’s, Army Enlisted

8405–01–334–1493 thru –1505

(20% of the Government’s requirement)

Reserve Center, Broken Arrow,

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.
