EFFECTIVE DATE: April 3, 1995.

Disabled, Crystal Square 3, Suite 403, 1735 Jefferson Davis Highway,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 28, 1994, the Committee for 
Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published 
notice (59 FR 60781) of proposed addition to the Procurement List.
    Comments were received from counsel for the current contractor, 
indicating that while the contractor would oppose the addition of a 
larger portion of the Government requirement to the Procurement List 
than the Committee proposing, it has no objection to the addition as 
proposed because it would not have a serious impact on the contractor's 
business. Accordingly, the Committee has concluded that this addition 
would not have a severe adverse impact on the current contractor.
    After consideration of the material presented to it concerning 
capability of [[Page 11958]] qualified nonprofit agencies to provide 
the commodities, fair market price, and impact of the addition on the 
current or most recent contractors, the Committee has determined that 
the commodities listed below are suitable for procurement by the 
Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 46-48c and 41 CFR 51-2.4.
    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 commodities to the 
Government.
    2. The action does not appear to have a severe economic impact on 
current contractors for the commodities.
    3. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the commodities to the Government.
    4. 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 commodities proposed for addition to the 
Procurement List.
    Accordingly, the following commodities are hereby added to the 
Procurement List:

Coveralls, Disposable
    8415-01-092-7529
    8415-01-092-7530
    8415-01-092-7531
    8415-01-092-7532
    8415-01-092-7533

(Additional 25% of the Government requirement)

    This action does not affect current contracts awarded prior to the 
effective date of this addition or options exercised under those 
contracts.
Beverly L. Milkman,
Executive Director.
