SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 3 and November 28, 1997, the 
Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled 
published notices (62 FR 51827 and 63314) 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 services to the 
Government.
    2. The action will not have a severe economic impact on current 
contractors for the services.
    3. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the 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 services proposed for addition to the 
Procurement List.
    Accordingly, the following services are hereby added to the 
Procurement List:

Grounds/Garage Maintenance

Veterans Affairs Medical Center, 1601 Perdido Street, New Orleans, 
Louisiana

Janitorial/Custodial

Naval Command Control & Ocean Surveillance Center, East Coast Division 
Complex (trailers/laboratories), Charleston, South Carolina
Operation of Postal Service Center, Luke Air Force Base, Arizona.

    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.
