SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Additions

    On February 8, February 15 and February 22, 2002, the Committee for 
Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published 
notice (67 FR 5965, 7130 and 8226) of proposed additions to the 
Procurement List.
    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 the 
Government.

    2. The action will not have a severe economic impact on current 
contractors for the services.

accomplish the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-ODay Act (41 U.S.C. 46-
48c) in connection with the services proposed for addition to the
