SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published pursuant to 41 
U.S.C 47(a)(2) and 41 CFR 51-2.3. Its purpose is to provide interested 
persons an opportunity to submit comments on the proposed actions.
    If the Committee approves the proposed additions, the entities of 
the Federal Government identified in the notice for each product or 
service will be required to procure the products and services listed 
below from nonprofit agencies employing persons who are blind or have 
other severe disabilities.
    The following material pertains to the products identified in this 
Federal Register Notice.
    New Army Combat Uniform (ACU) Coats & Trousers--Transition 
Quantities Qualified Nonprofit Agencies under the Committee's program 
are currently authorized to produce 300,000 Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) 
trousers and 100,000 BDU coats. During the Army's transition from BDU 
to the ACU, at the request of the Defense Supply Center--Philadelphia 
(DSCP), it is proposed that qualified nonprofit agencies produce an 
additional 200,000 BDU trousers, 900,000 ACU coats, 900,000 ACU 
trousers, and 50,000 BDU coats annually, for a period of three years. 
Once the transition period is complete, the additional quantities will 
be deleted from the Procurement List and the qualified nonprofit 
agencies will reduce their production, back to 300,000 ACU trousers and 
100,000 ACU coats.
    The following material pertains to all of the items being added to 
the Procurement List.

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. If approved, 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. 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 
to the Procurement List.
    Comments on this certification are invited. Commenters should 
identify the statement(s) underlying the certification on which they 
are providing additional information.
