SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Additions

    On December 27, 2002, and March 21, 2003, the Committee for 
Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published 
notice (67 FR 79045, and 68 FR 13895) 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 to the 
Government.
    2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the 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 services proposed for addition to the 
Procurement List.
    Accordingly, the following services are added to the Procurement 
List:

Services

Service Type/Location: Document Destruction, Aberdeen Proving 
Ground, Northeast Civilian Personnel Operation Center, Aberdeen 
Proving Ground, Maryland.
NPA: The Arc Northern Chesapeake Region, Incorporated, Aberdeen,

Deletions

    On March 14, 2003, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are 
Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (68 F.R. 12340) of proposed 
deletions to 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. 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 may 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 products 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 deleted from the Procurement List.
    Accordingly, the following products are deleted from the 
Procurement List:
