Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 13 / Thursday, January 21, 2010 / Notices
3465
Having established both a proper
basis to specify the particular good
required for this project and that
application of the Buy American
requirements would be inconsistent
with the public interest, the County is
hereby granted a waiver from the Buy
American requirements of Section
1605(a) of Public Law 111–5. This
waiver permits use of ARRA funds for
the purchase of the specified ITT Flygt
Corporation submersible pumps
documented in the County’s waiver
request submittal dated September 1,
2009. This supplementary information
constitutes the detailed written
justification required by Section 1605(c)
for waivers based on a finding under
subsection (b)(1).
manufacturer of submersible pumps:
ITT Flygt Corporation. ITT Flygt was
specified as the sole acceptable
manufacturer of submersible pumps
because the County had standardized on
such pumps in 2003, when the project
started. At the time, 88 out of 106 pump
systems in the County were equipped
with Flygt submersible pumps. The
County standardized to these pumps,
according to the standardization
agreement with ITT Flygt Corporation,
to provide greater reliability in the
operation of pump stations and avoid
the increased costs of inventory, service,
maintenance, and engineering
associated with using several different
brands of pumps. Additionally,
according to the County,
standardization would allow the County
to further its efforts to avoid sanitary
sewer overflows by allowing maximum
flexibility to interchange pumps during
emergencies. Due to the difference in
the design of pumps, guide rail systems,
and electrical control systems, pumps
from one manufacturer cannot be
installed in a pump station outfitted for
a different manufacturer’s pumps. If
there is a catastrophic failure or
concurrent failure of pumps at a given
station, interchangeability allows the
immediate replacement of the failed
pumps in one station with little-used
pumps removed from other comparably
sized stations. This ability is, according
to the County, critically important in the
event of a catastrophic failure or
concurrent pump failures. This
minimizes the downtime of the failed
pump station and mitigates the risks of
a major wastewater overflow. It also
eliminates the necessity of maintaining
spare pumps as a contingency measure
against such situations. EPA has
determined that the County has
provided ample cause for
standardization. Furthermore,
standardization took place well before
ARRA funding was available, so such a
decision by the County was clearly not
an attempt to avoid application of the
Buy American provisions of ARRA.
The purpose of the ARRA is to
stimulate economic recovery by funding
current infrastructure construction, not
to delay projects that are already ‘‘shovel
ready’’ by requiring SRF eligible
recipients such as the County to revise
their design standards and
specifications. The imposition of ARRA
Buy American requirements in this case
would result in unreasonable delay for
this project, and an unnecessary burden
to the County, in the form of increased
maintenance costs in the future, as well
as decreased performance of its system
due to incompatible pumps. To delay
this construction would directly conflict
with a fundamental economic purpose
of ARRA, which is to create or retain
jobs.
The information provided is sufficient
to meet the following criteria listed
under Section 1605(b) of the ARRA,
OMB’s regulations at 2 CFR 176.60–
176.170, and in the April 28, 2009, EPA
Memorandum: Applying the Buy
American requirements of ARRA would
be inconsistent with the public interest.
The March 31, 2009, Delegation of
Authority Memorandum provided
Regional Administrators with the
authority to issue exceptions to Section
1605 of ARRA within the geographic
boundaries of their respective regions
and with respect to requests by
individual grant recipients.
