SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions:
On April 26, August 9, August 30, and September 6, 2002, the
Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled
published notice (67 F.R. 20726, 51819, 55776, 56981) 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
services and impact of the additions on the current or most recent
contractors, the Committee has determined that the products and
services 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
services to the Government.
2. 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.
Accordingly, the following products and services are added to the
