to procure the services listed below from nonprofit agencies employing

the 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 services proposed for addition to the 
Procurement List. Comments on this certification are invited.
