SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Additions

    On June 15, 2001, June 7, June 14, and June 21, 2002, the Committee 
for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published 
notice (66 FR 32598, 67 FR39337, 40909 and 42235) of proposed additions 
to and deletions from the Procurement List. After consideration of the 
material presented to it concerning capability of qualified nonprofit 
agencies to provide the products and service and impact of the 
additions on the current or most recent contractors, the Committee has 
determined that the products and service 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 service 
to the Government.
    2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the products and service 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 service proposed for addition 
to the Procurement List.
    Accordingly, the following products and service are added to the
