After consideration of the material

additional reporting, recordkeeping or

other compliance requirements for small

organizations that will furnish the

commodities and services to the

Government.

2. The action does not appear to have

a severe economic impact on current

contractors for the commodities and

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
