SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 
List:

Service:

Service Type/Location: Base Supply Center, Portsmouth Naval 
Shipyard, Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
NPA: Central Association for the Blind & Visually Impaired, Utica, 
New York.
Contracting Activity: Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, New 
Hampshire.

    This action does not affect current contracts awarded prior to the 
effective date of this addition or options that may be exercised under 
those contracts.
