The regulation also provides for a waiver of the Buy America requirements when application of the requirements would be inconsistent with the public interest or when satisfactory quality domestic steel and iron products are not sufficiently available.

In accordance with section 130 of Division K of the ‘‘Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008’’ (Pub.

The FHWA received one comment which supported the waiver if it is not for multiple applications. During the 15day comment period, the FHWA conducted an additional nationwide review to locate potential domestic manufacturers of machinery and motor brakes.
