SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published pursuant to 41 
U.S.C. 47(a) (2) and 41 CFR 51-2.3. Its purpose is to provide 
interested persons an opportunity to submit comments on the possible 
impact of the proposed actions.
    If the Committee approves the proposed additions, all entities of 
the Federal Government (except as otherwise indicated) will be required 
to procure the commodities and services listed below from nonprofit 
agencies employing persons who are blind or have other severe 
disabilities. 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 result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the commodities and services to the Government.
    3. 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. Comments on this certification are 
invited. Commenters should identify the statement(s) underlying the 
certification on which they are providing additional information.
    The following commodities and services have been proposed for 
addition to Procurement List for production by the nonprofit agencies 
listed:
