ACTION: Proposed Additions to and Deletions from Procurement List.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Committee has received proposals to add to the Procurement 
List commodities and services to be furnished by nonprofit agencies

to delete a commodity and services previously furnished by such 
agencies.

COMMENTS MUST BE RECEIVED ON OR BEFORE: February 26, 1996.

Disabled, Crystal Square 3, Suite 403, 1735 Jefferson Davis Highway,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published pursuant to 41 
U.S.C. 47(a) (2) and 41 CFR 51-2.3. Its purpose is to provide 
interested persons an opportunity to submit comments on the possible 
impact of the proposed actions.
    Additions: If the Committee approves the proposed addition, all 
entities of the Federal Government (except as otherwise indicated) will 
be required to procure the commodities and services listed below from 
nonprofit agencies employing persons who are blind or have other severe 
disabilities.
    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 does not appear to 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-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46-
48c) in connection with the commodities and services proposed for 
addition to the Procurement List.
    Comments on this certification are invited. Commenters should
