Deletions

I certify that the following action will

other compliance requirements for small

entities.

2. The action does not appear to have

a severe economic impact on future

contractors for the commodities.

3. The action will result in

authorizing small entities to furnish the

commodities 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

proposed for deletion from the
