SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Additions

    On March 29, May 17, and May 24, 2002, the Committee for Purchase 
From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (67 FR 
15175, 35096, and 36567) of proposed additions to the Procurement List.
    After consideration of the material presented to it concerning 
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the products and 
services and impact of the additions on the current or most recent 
contractors, the Committee has determined that the products and 
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 products and 
services to the Government.
    2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the products 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 products and services proposed for addition 
to the Procurement List.

    Accordingly, the following products and services are added to the
