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 commodities and 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 commodities and
services to the Government.
2. The action will not have a severe economic impact on current
contractors for the commodities services.
3. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish
the commodities 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 and services proposed for
addition to the Procurement List.
Accordingly, the following commodities and services are hereby
added to the Procurement List:

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 may 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 commodities.
3. The action may result in authorizing small entities to furnish
the commodities 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 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
