AGENCY: Committee for Purchase from People Who Are Blind or Severely 
Disabled.

ACTION: Proposed additions to Procurement List.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Committee is proposing to add to the Procurement List 
products and services to be furnished by nonprofit agencies employing 
persons who are blind or have other severe disabilities.
    Comments Must be Received on or Before: July 15, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely 
Disabled, Jefferson Plaza 2, Suite 10800, 1421 Jefferson Davis Highway, 
Arlington, Virginia 22202-3259.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sheryl D. Kennerly, (703) 603-7740.

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 possible impact of the 
proposed actions.
    The U.S. Department of Agriculture's requirements for Bakery Mix 
are currently on the Procurement List with Advocacy and Resources Corp. 
(ARC), Cookeville, Tennessee as the producing nonprofit agency. The 
Committee is proposing to extend the scope of that mandate to include 
the Defense Supply Center--Philadelphia and to add three additional 
nonprofit agencies as producers.
    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.
    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.
    The following products and services are proposed for addition to 
Procurement List for production by the nonprofit agencies listed:
