SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 14, 2004, the Committee for Purchase 
From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (69 
F.R. 32975/32976) 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 services listed below are suitable for procurement 
by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 46-48c and 41 CFR 51-2.4.

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification

    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.
