(62 FR 49204, 63 FR 202, 7391 and

not have a significant impact on a

substantial number of small entities.

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.

authorizing small entities to furnish the

commodities and services to the

Government.

alternatives which would accomplish

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