SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 2, 1998, the Committee for Purchase 
From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published a notice (63 
F.R. 36211) of proposed addition to the Procurement List.
    After consideration of the material presented to it concerning 
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the commodities 
and impact of the addition on the current or most recent contractors, 
the Committee has determined that the commodities 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 commodities to the 
Government.
    2. The action will not have a severe economic impact on current 
contractors for the commodities.
    3. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the commodities to the Government.
    4. There are no known regulatory alternatives which would 
accomplish
