reporting, recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small 
entities other than the small organizations that will furnish the 
product and services to the Government.

entities to furnish the product 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 product and services proposed for addition 
to the Procurement List.
    Comments on this certification are invited. Commenters should
