The Secretary is making this determination based on the review and recommendations of the Rural Development Buy American Coordinator. The District through its design engineer has provided sufficient documentation to support its request. The Undersecretary for Rural Development concurred on this decision to waive Section 1605 of ARRA.

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 the Department of Homeland Security proposes to update Department of Homeland Security/ ALL025 Law Enforcement Authority in Support of the Protection of Property Owned, Occupied, or Secured by the Department of Homeland Security System of Records to include record systems within the Federal Protective Service.
