SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August

29 and September 12, 1997, the

Committee for Purchase From People

Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled

published notices (62 F.R. 45792 and

48050 ) 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 services and

impact of the additions on the current

or most recent contractors, the

Committee has determined that the

commodities and services 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 services to the

Government.

2. The action will not have a severe

economic impact on current contractors

for the commodities and services.

3. The action will result in

authorizing small entities to furnish the

commodities and 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

connection with the commodities and

services proposed for addition to the

Procurement List.

Accordingly, the following

commodities and services are hereby

added to the Procurement List:
