impact on a substantial number of small entities. The major factors

reporting, recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small 
entities other than the small organizations that will furnish the 
products and service to the Government.
    2. If approved, the action will result in authorizing small 
entities to furnish the products and service 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-
