SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 5, August 2, and August 9, 2002, the 
Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled 
published notice (67 FR 44808, 50416 and 51819) 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 
service and impact of the additions on the current or most recent 
contractors, the Committee has determined that the products and service 
listed below are suitable for procurement by the Federal Government 
under 41 U.S.C. 46-48c and 41 CFR 51-2.4. 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 service 
to the Government.
    2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the commodities and products and 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 products and service proposed for addition 
to the Procurement List.
    Accordingly, the following products and service are added to the 
Procurement List:
