Additions

the Federal Government (except as otherwise indicated) will be required 
to procure services listed below from nonprofit agencies employing

    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:

recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small entities other 
than the small organizations that will furnish the services to the 
Government.
    2. The action does not appear to 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. Comments on this certification are invited. 
Commenters should identify the statement(s) underlying the
