SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:


Additions


    On December 6, and December 20, 2002, the Committee for Purchase 
From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (67 FR 
72640, and 77962) of proposed additions to the Procurement List.
    After consideration of the material presented to it concerning 
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the services and 
impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractors, the 
Committee has determined that the products and services listed below 
are suitable for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 
46-48c and 41 CFR 51-2.4. 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 services to the 
Government.
    2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the services to the Government.
    3. 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 services proposed for addition to the 
Procurement List.
    Accordingly, the following services are added to the Procurement
