SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Additions

    On February 8 and March 1 2002, the Committee for Purchase From 
People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (67 FR 5966 
and 9436) of proposed additions and deletions to the Procurement List.
    After consideration of the material presented to it concerning 
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the service 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 service the 
Government.
    2. The action will not have a severe economic impact on current 
contractors for the service.
    3. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the service to the Government.
    4. There are no known regulatory alternatives which would 
accomplish the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-ODay Act (41 U.S.C.46-
48c) in connection with the service proposed for addition to the 
Procurement List.
    Accordingly, the following service is added to the Procurement 
List:

Service

Service Type/Location: Office Supply Store, Department of the 
Treasury Annex, Washington, DC.
NPA: Winston-Salem Industries for the Blind, Winston-Salem, NC.
Contract Activity: Department of the Treasury.

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 will not result in any additional reporting, 
recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small entities.
    2. The action may result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the product to Government.
    3. There are no known regulatory alternatives which would 
accomplish the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-ODay Act (41 U.S.C.46-
48c) in connection with the products deleted from the Procurement List.
    After consideration of the relevant matter presented, the committee 
has determined that the products listed below are no longer suitable 
for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 46048 and 41 
CFR 51-2.4.
