Additions

    On May 9, June 27, July 18, and July 25, 2003, the Committee for 
Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published 
notice (68 F.R. 24919, 38288, 42684, and 44039) 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.

services to the Government.

the products and services to the Government.
    3. There are no known regulatory alternatives which would
