SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On February 25, and March 4, 2005, the Committee for Purchase From
People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (70 FR 9269,
and 10596) of proposed additions to the Procurement List.
After consideration of the material presented to it concerning
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the products and
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.
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 products and
services to the Government.
2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish
the products and 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 products and services proposed for addition
to the Procurement List.
