Salit Specialty Rebar does not produce the stainless steel wire mesh for the decorative railings, and the Talley Metals Company does not produce the grade 2205 stainless steel plate. During the 15-day comment period, the FHWA conducted additional nationwide review to locate potential domestic manufacturers for the products. Based on all the information available to the agency, including the responses received to the notices as well as the agency’s nationwide review, the FHWA concludes that there are no domestic manufacturers for the two custom built motor control centers and stainless steel products or the bridge suspender cable, spider fittings, wire mesh and grade 2205 plate. In accordance with the provisions of section 117 of the ‘‘SAFETEA–LU Technical Corrections Act of 2008’’ (Pub. L. 110–244, 122 Stat. 1572), the FHWA is providing this notice as its finding that a waiver of Buy America requirements is appropriate pursuant to 23 CFR 635.410(c)(1). The FHWA invites public comment on this finding for an additional 15 days following the effective date of the finding.
