notices (59 FR 52145, 67703, FR 60

List:

Additions

After consideration of the material

presented to it concerning capability of

qualified nonprofit agencies to provide

the commodity, military resale

commodity and services, fair market

price, and impact of the additions on

the current or most recent contractors,

the Committee has determined that the

commodity, military resale commodity

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

commodity, military resale commodity

and services to the Government.

2. The action does not appear to have

a severe economic impact on current
