SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 6, 1996, April 25, May 2 and 9, 1997, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notices (61 FR 63820, 62 FR 20149, 25586 and 24077) of proposed additions to the Procurement List. After consideration of the material presented to it concerning capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the commodity and services and impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractors, the Committee has determined that the commodity 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 commodity and services to the Government. 2. The action will not have a severe economic impact on current contractors for the commodity and services. 3. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish the commodity and services to the Government. 4. 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 commodity and services proposed for addition to the Procurement List. Accordingly, the following commodity and services are hereby added to the Procurement List: Commodity Cover, Helmet, Arctic White 8415-00-NIB-0068 (Requirements for the U.S. Army Soldier Systems Command, Natick, Massachusetts) Services Grounds Maintenance, Smithsonian National Gallery of Art 6th and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC Janitorial/Custodial, Federal Building, U.S. Post Office and Courthouse, Moscow, Idaho Janitorial/Custodial, U.S. Border Stations, Lynden/Sumas, Washington Janitorial/Custodial, U.S. Coast Guard, 2420 South Lincoln Memorial Parkway, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 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.
