srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 2 / Tuesday, January 5, 2010 / Notices
membrane treatment systems are only
manufactured outside of the U.S.
Therefore, based on the information
provided to EPA and to the best of our
knowledge at this time, Zenon ZeeWeed
1000 submerged membranes are not
manufactured in the United States, and
no other U.S. manufactured product can
meet Valley City’s performance
specifications and requirements.
The purpose of the ARRA is to
stimulate economic recovery in part by
funding current infrastructure
construction, not to delay projects that
are ‘‘shovel ready’’ by requiring cities
such as Valley City to revise their
standards and specifications and to start
the bidding process again. The
imposition of ARRA Buy American
requirements on such projects otherwise
eligible for ARRA State Revolving Fund
assistance would result in unreasonable
delay and thus displace the ‘‘shovel
ready’’ status for this project. To further
delay project implementation is in
direct conflict with a fundamental
economic purpose of the ARRA, which
is to create or retain jobs.
EPA’s national contractor prepared a
technical assessment report dated
December 2, 2009 based on the
submitted waiver request. The report
determined that the waiver request
submittal was complete, that adequate
technical information was provided,
and that there were no significant
weaknesses in the justification
provided. The report confirmed the
waiver applicant’s claim that there are
no comparable domestic products that
can meet the project specifications.
The Technical & Financial Services
Unit has reviewed this waiver request
and has determined that the supporting
documentation provided by Valley City
is sufficient to meet the criteria listed
under Section 1605(b) of the ARRA and
in the April 28, 2009, ‘‘Implementation
of Buy American provisions of Public
Law 111–5, the ‘American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009’
Memorandum’’: Iron, steel, and the
manufactured goods are not produced in
the United States in sufficient and
reasonably available quantities and of a
satisfactory quality. The basis for this
project waiver is the authorization
provided in Section 1605(b)(2) of the
ARRA. Due to the lack of production of
this product in the United States in
sufficient and reasonably available
quantities and of a satisfactory quality
in order to meet Valley City’s
performance specifications and
requirements, a waiver from the Buy
American requirement is justified.
The March 31, 2009 Delegation of
Authority Memorandum provided
Regional Administrators with the
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
authority to issue exceptions to Section
1605 of the ARRA within the geographic
boundaries of their respective regions
and with respect to requests by
individual grant recipients. Having
established both a proper basis to
specify the particular good required for
this project, and that this manufactured
good was not available from a producer
in the United States, Valley City is
hereby granted a waiver from the Buy
American requirements of Section
1605(a) of Public Law 111–5 for the
purchase of Zenon ZeeWeed 1000
submerged membranes using ARRA
funds as specified in the City’s request
of September 16, 2009. This
supplementary information constitutes
the detailed written justification
required by Section 1605(c) for waivers
‘‘based on a finding under subsection
(b).’’
Authority: Public Law 111–5, section
1605.

(‘‘FTC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’).
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The information collection
requirements described below will be
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for review, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (‘‘PRA’’). The FTC is seeking public
comments on its proposal to extend
through March 31, 2013, the current
PRA clearance for information
collection requirements contained in its
Alternative Fuel Rule. Those clearances
expire on March 31, 2010.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before March 8, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties are
invited to submit written comments
electronically or in paper form, by
following the instructions in the
Request for Comments to 60-Day Notice
part of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
section below. Comments in electronic
form should be submitted by using the
following Web link: (https://
public.commentworks.com/ftc/
alternativefuelrulepra) (and following
the instructions on the web-based form).
Comments in paper form should be
mailed or delivered to the following
address: Federal Trade Commission,
Office of the Secretary, Room H–135
(Annex J), 600 Pennsylvania Avenue,

INFORMATION below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Information Collection
Activities
Under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3521,
federal agencies must obtain approval
PO 00000

from OMB for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ means
agency requests or requirements that
members of the public submit reports,
keep records, or provide information to
a third party. 44 U.S.C. § 3502(3), 5 CFR
§ 1320.3 (c). Because the number of
entities affected by the Commission’s
requests will exceed ten, the
Commission plans to seek OMB
clearance under the PRA. As required
by § 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the
Commission is providing this
opportunity for public comment before
requesting that OMB extend the existing
paperwork clearance for the information
collection requirements associated with
the Commission’s regulations under the
Alternative Fuel Rule (‘‘the Rule’’), 16
CFR part 309.
The Rule, which implements the
Energy Policy Act of 1992, Pub. L. 102–
486, requires disclosure of specific
information on labels posted on fuel
dispensers for non-liquid alternative
fuels and on labels on Alternative
Fueled Vehicles (AFVs). To ensure the
accuracy of these disclosures, the Rule
also requires that sellers maintain
records substantiating product-specific
disclosures they include on these labels.
Request for Comments to 60-Day Notice
The FTC invites comments on: (1)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. All comments
should be filed as prescribed below, and
must be received on or before March 8,
2010.
Because comments will be made
public, they should not include any
sensitive personal information, such as
an individual’s Social Security Number;
date of birth; driver’s license number or
other state identification number, or
foreign country equivalent; passport
number; financial account number; or
credit or debit card number. Comments
also should not include any sensitive
health information, such as medical
