under 49 U.S.C. 60105(a) with six States
acting as Interstate Agents.
For the natural gas program, the
Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) currently
has one State with an agreement under
49 U.S.C. 60106(a) and 51 State
programs that are certified under 49
U.S.C. 60105(a) (Hawaii and Alaska are
exceptions) with nine States acting as
Interstate Agents.
An estimate of the revised burden is
as follows:
Title: Pipeline Safety: Gas and
Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety
Program Certifications.
OMB Control Number: 2137–0584.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved information

ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: This notice provides
information regarding the FHWA’s
finding that a Buy America waiver is
appropriate for the purchase of foreign
butterfly valves for a Federal-aid/
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act (ARRA) project for the City of
Colorado Springs, Colorado.
DATES: The effective date of the waiver
is October 16, 2009.

Background
The FHWA’s Buy America policy in
23 CFR 635.410 requires a domestic
manufacturing process for any steel or
iron products (including protective
coatings) that are permanently
incorporated in a Federal-aid
construction project. The regulation also
provides for a waiver of the Buy
America requirements when the
application of such requirements would
be inconsistent with the public interest
or when satisfactory quality domestic
steel and iron products are not
sufficiently available. This notice
provides information regarding the
FHWA’s finding that a Buy America
waiver is appropriate for the acquisition
of butterfly valves for the Woodmen
Road Corridor Improvement Project in
the City of Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Specifically, the City of Colorado
Springs was not able to find a domestic
supplier for a 42 inch Vanessa Zero
Leakage 30,000 Series Butterfly Valve.
This project is funded under the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009.
In accordance with the Division I,
section 126 of the ‘‘Omnibus
Appropriations Act, 2009’’ (Pub. L. 111–
8), the FHWA published a notice of
intent to issue a waiver for the butterfly
valves (https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/
construction/contracts/
waivers.cfm?id=37) on August 24, 2009.
The FHWA received one comment in
response to this notice which suggested
that the butterfly valves may be
available domestically. This comment
was provided by Mr. Edward J. Schutz,
Director of Sales with the Henry Pratt
Company.
Mr. Adam Baker with the City of
Colorado Springs contacted Mr. Shutz
with the Henry Pratt Company regarding
PO 00000
Frm 00054
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
52997
the company’s products and
conformance with the City of Colorado
Spring’s design criteria. Both parties
agreed that the company’s products
would not meet the project
specifications. A copy of the City’s
September 16, 2009, letter to Mr. Schutz
documenting this conversation and Mr.
Schutz’s confirmation is available upon
request.
During the 15-day comment period,
the FHWA conducted an additional
review to locate potential domestic
manufacturers for the butterfly valves.
Based on all the information available to
the agency, the FHWA concludes that
there are no domestic manufacturers for
the specified butterfly valves. Thus, the
FHWA concludes that a Buy America
waiver is appropriate as provided by 23
CFR 635.410(c)(1).
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. The FHWA
invites public comment on this finding
for an additional 15 days following the
effective date of the finding. Comments
may be submitted to the FHWA’s Web
site via the link provided to the City of
Colorado Springs waiver page noted
above.

This
notice announces the availability of four
revised consensus standards to
previously accepted consensus
standards relating to the provisions of
the Sport Pilot and Light-Sport Aircraft
rule. ASTM International Committee
F37 on Light Sport Aircraft developed
the new and revised standards. The
FAA expects a suitable consensus
standard to be reviewed at least every
two years. The two-year review cycle
will result in a standard revision or
reapproval. A standard is issued under
a fixed designation (i.e., F2244); the
number immediately following the
designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of
revision, the year of last revision. A
number in parentheses indicates the
year of last reapproval. A reapproval
indicates a two-year review cycle
completed with no technical changes. A
superscript epsilon (e) indicates an
editorial change since the last revision
or reapproval. A notice of availability
(NOA) will only be issued for new or
revised standards. Reapproved
standards issued with no technical
changes or standards issued with
editorial changes only (i.e., superscript
epsilon (e)) are considered accepted by
the FAA without need for a NOA.
Comments Invited: Interested persons
are invited to submit such written data,
views, or arguments, as they may desire.
Communications should identify the
consensus standard number and be

above. All communications received on
or before the closing date for comments
will be forwarded to ASTM
International Committee F37 for
consideration. The standard may be
changed in light of the comments
received. The FAA will address all
comments received during the recurring
review of the consensus standard and
will participate in the consensus
standard revision process.
Background: Under the provisions of
the Sport Pilot and Light-Sport Aircraft
rule, and revised Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Circular A–119,
‘‘Federal Participation in the
Development and Use of Voluntary
Consensus Standards and in Conformity
Assessment Activities’’, dated February
10, 1998, industry and the FAA have
been working with ASTM International
to develop consensus standards for
light-sport aircraft. These consensus
standards satisfy the FAA’s goal for
airworthiness certification and a
verifiable minimum safety level for
light-sport aircraft. Instead of
developing airworthiness standards
through the rulemaking process, the
FAA participates as a member of
Committee F37 in developing these
standards. The use of the consensus
standard process assures government
and industry discussion and agreement
on appropriate standards for the
required level of safety.
Comments on Previous Notices of
Availability
In the Notice of Availability (NOA)
issued on July 28, 2008, and published
in the Federal Register on July 28, 2008,
the FAA asked for public comments on
the new and revised consensus
standards accepted by that NOA. The
comment period closed on September
26, 2008. No public comments were
received regarding the standards
accepted by this NOA.
Consensus Standards in This Notice of
Availability
The FAA has reviewed the standards
presented in this NOA for compliance
with the regulatory requirements of the
rule. Any light-sport aircraft issued a
special light-sport airworthiness
certificate, which has been designed,
manufactured, operated and
maintained, in accordance with this and
previously accepted ASTM consensus
standards provides the public with the
appropriate level of safety established
under the regulations. Manufacturers
who choose to produce these aircraft
and certificate these aircraft under 14
CFR part 21, §§ 21.190 or 21.191 are
subject to the applicable consensus
standard requirements. The FAA
PO 00000
Frm 00055

maintains a listing of all accepted
standards on the FAA Web site.
The Revised Consensus Standard and
Effective Period of Use
The following previously accepted
consensus standards have been revised,
and this NOA is accepting the later
revision. Either the previous revision or
the later revision may be used for the
initial certification of special light-sport
aircraft until April 1, 2010. This
overlapping period of time will allow
aircraft that have started the initial
certification process using the previous
revision level to complete that process.
After April 1, 2010, manufacturers must
use the later revision and must identify
the later revision in the Statement of
Compliance for initial certification of
special light-sport aircraft unless the
FAA publishes a specific notification
otherwise. The following Consensus
Standard may not be used after April 1,
2010:
ASTM Designation F2240–05, titled:
Standard Specification for Manufacturer
Quality Assurance Program for Powered
Parachute Aircraft.
ASTM Designation F2244–05, titled:
Standard Specification for Design and

Aircraft.
The Consensus Standards
The FAA finds the following revised
consensus standards acceptable for
certification of the specified aircraft
under the provisions of the Sport Pilot
and Light-Sport Aircraft rule. The
consensus standards listed below may
be used unless the FAA publishes a
