SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published pursuant to 41 
U.S.C. 47(a)(2) and 41 CFR 51-2.3. Its purpose is to provide interested 
persons an opportunity to submit comments on the possible impact of the

the Federal Government (except as otherwise indicated) will be required 
to procure the commodities, military resale commodity and services 
listed below from nonprofit agencies employing persons who are blind or 
have other severe disabilities.
    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, 
military resale commodity and services to the Government.
    2. The action does not appear to have a severe economic impact on 
current contractors for the commodities, military resale commodity and 
services.
    3. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the commodities, military resale commodity and services 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, military resale commodity and 
services proposed for addition to the Procurement List.
    Comments on this certification are invited. Commenters should
