SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Addition

    On February 4, 2005, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are 
Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (70 FR 5964) of proposed 
addition to the Procurement List. After consideration of the material 
presented to it concerning capability of qualified nonprofit agencies 
to provide the service and impact of the addition on the current or 
most recent contractors, the Committee has determined that the service 
listed below is 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 service to the 
Government.
    2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the 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 service proposed for addition to the 
Procurement List.

End of Certification

    Accordingly, the following service is added to the Procurement

matter presented, the Committee has determined that the services 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.
