Additions

    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:

Janitorial/Custodial, Ronald Reagan Federal Building and U.S. 
Courthouse, 411 W Fourth Street, Santa Ana, California
Janitorial/Custodial, DLA Warren Depot, Pine Street Extension, Warren, 
Ohio
Janitorial/Custodial, Building R-20, Naval Air Station, Whidbey Island, 
Washington.

    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.

Deletions

    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.
    2. The action will not have a severe economic impact on future 
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 (41U.S.C. 46-
48c) in connection with the services deleted from the Procurement List.
    After consideration of the relevant matter presented, the Committee 
has determined that the commodities listed below are no longer suitable 
for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 46-48c and 41 
CFR 51-2.4.
    Accordingly, the following commodities are hereby deleted from the
