to procure the commodities and services listed below from nonprofit

    I certify that the following action will not have a significant 
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The major factors

recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small entities other 
than the small organizations that will furnish the commodity and 
services to the Government.
    2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the commodity 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 commodity and services proposed for 
addition to the Procurement List. Comments on this certification are 
invited. Commenters should identify the statement(s) underlying the
