SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 7, May 2, June 6, and June 13, 
2003, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely 
Disabled published notice (68 FR 6403, 23441, 33908, and 35380) 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.

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification

    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.
