SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 4 and December 20, 1996, the 
Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled 
published notices (61 FR 51881 and 67306) of proposed additions to the 
Procurement List.
    After consideration of the material presented to it concerning 
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the services and 
impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractors, the 
Committee has determined that the services 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 commodity and 
service to the Government.
    2. The action will not have a severe economic impact on current 
contractors for the commodity and service.
    3. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the commodity and service 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 commodity and service proposed for addition 
to the Procurement List.
    Accordingly, the following commodity and service are hereby added 
to the Procurement List:

Service)

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