SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Addition
On March 4, 2004, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are
Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (69 FR 10401) of proposed
additions to the Procurement List. After consideration of the material
presented to it concerning capability of qualified nonprofit agencies
to provide the service and impact of the addition on the current or
most recent contractors, the Committee has determined that the service
listed below is 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 service to the
Government.
2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish
the 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-
48c) in connection with the service proposed for addition to the
Procurement List.
End of Certification
Accordingly, the following service is added to the Procurement
List:
