After consideration of the material presented to it concerning capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the services and impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractors, the Committee has determined that the services listed below are suitable for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 46–48c and 41 CFR 51–2.4. Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification 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 services to the Government. 2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish the services to the Government. 3. There are no known regulatory alternatives which would accomplish the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46–48c) in connection with the services proposed for addition to the Procurement List. End of Certification Procurement List; Additions ACTION: Additions Accordingly, the following services are added to the Procurement List: Services: Service Type/Location: Food Service & Mess Attendants, Seabee Camp, Covington Guam Support Facility, Resident NMCB, Santa Rita, Guam. NPA: Able Industries of the Pacific, Santa Rita, Guam. Contracting Activity: Dept of the Navy, FISC Pearl Harbor, HI. The Federal Register identifies the services as ‘‘Food Service’’ and ‘‘Mess Attendants,’’ which are programmatic methods to identify the services provided by nonprofit agencies employing people who are blind or who have other severe disabilities within the AbilityOne Program. While the Randolph-Sheppard Act provides entrepreneurial management opportunities for blind vendors, under normal circumstances it does not afford them priority for food service, mess PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 44355 attendant and other services supporting the operation of a military dining facility short of management responsibilities.
