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. If approved, 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
