ACTION: Request for information (RFI). SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) is requesting information from stakeholders on questions pertaining to Section 1605—the Buy American provisions—of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (‘‘Recovery Act’’) of 2009, Public Law 111–5. DOE is seeking information organized into two distinct parts. Part 1 requests technical information from stakeholders seeking to ascertain the availability of manufactured goods produced in the United States that are needed to carry out projects funded by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Part 2 requests information on questions pertaining to the application and implementation (programmatic questions) of the Buy American provisions in Recovery Act projects funded by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. DATES: Written comments and information are requested on or before 11:59 pm Eastern Time on Thursday, February 18, 2010. ADDRESSES: Interested persons may submit information by any of the following methods: • E-mail (preferred method): buyamerican@ee.doe.gov. Include ‘‘Response to Buy American RFI’’ in the subject line of the message. • Mail: Mr. Benjamin Goldstein, U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Weatherization and Intergovernmental Programs, Mailstop EE–2K, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20585–0121. Please submit one signed paper original. • Hand Delivery/Courier: Mr. Benjamin Goldstein, U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Weatherization and Intergovernmental Programs, Mailstop EE–2K, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20585–0121. Please submit one signed paper original. • Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name (DOE) and identify this RFI. VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:31 Feb 03, 2010 Jkt 220001 The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) received $16.8 billion in Recovery Act appropriations for EERE’s programs and initiatives (for more information, please visit https:// www1.eere.energy.gov/recovery/). EERE is committed to achieving the goals of the Recovery Act—stimulating the economy and creating or retaining jobs—while simultaneously advancing the EERE mission of strengthening the United States’ energy security, environmental quality, and economic vitality. With these objectives in mind, EERE is working to ensure that Recovery Act funds are deployed swiftly and effectively by recipients of financial assistance (‘‘grantees’’). Some grantees have encountered difficulties in procuring certain manufactured goods in compliance with the Buy American provisions. Under the Recovery Act, DOE can make an exception to the Buy American provisions (a ‘‘waiver’’), based on the criteria outlined in Section 1605(b)(2) of the Recovery Act and in 2 CFR 176.80(a)(1). One such criteria is where manufactured goods are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonable quantities and of a satisfactory quality (‘‘nonavailability’’). EERE may consider issuing individual or categorical waivers if there are items that qualify for a determination of nonavailability. However, EERE wishes to ensure that any such determinations are based on a complete record obtained in a thorough, transparent and expedited manner. Toward this end, EERE is requesting grantees and other Recovery Act stakeholders to use Part 1 of this RFI to identify and provide technical specifications for products that may be potential candidates for waivers of Buy American provisions in EERE-funded projects based on the domestic nonavailability criteria. The products and technical specifications submitted in response to Part 1 of this RFI will be catalogued and disseminated to the domestic manufacturing community in order to ascertain the manufacturing capacity for these products; all as part of the EERE due diligence process before considering issuing any waivers based SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Request for Information (RFI) PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 5783 on nonavailability criteria. EERE will then make the results of our determinations available to grantees and the general public through the Federal Register, the EERE Web site, and additional channels as necessary. EERE is not at this time specifically requesting information, inquiries or expressions of interest from the manufacturing community. EERE will be executing a separate process to engage the manufacturing community around the products identified in Part 1 of this RFI. Additionally, the Buy American provisions found in Section 1605 of the Recovery Act have generated numerous questions pertaining to their application and implementation (programmatic questions) in projects around the country. EERE has provided grantees with a number of avenues to seek additional information about the Buy American provisions, and has a Web site that provides responses to some of the most common questions: https:// www1.eere.energy.gov/recovery/ buy_american_provision.html. To further assist grantees in understanding and implementing the Buy American provisions, EERE will use responses to Part 2 of this RFI to inform the content of forthcoming Buy American-specific guidance to be issued by EERE and available on the EERE Buy American Web site. EERE strongly encourages responses from grantees and other Recovery Act stakeholders. These include, but are not limited to: Recipients of EERE Recovery Act financial assistance, state and local officials, contractors, and other interested parties. Request for Information (RFI) Submission Guidelines Responses to this RFI must be submitted or postmarked no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on February 18, 2010. E-mail responses must be provided as a Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx), or compatible, attachment to the email responding to either Part 1 or Part 2. Responses to both Part 1 and Part 2 must be submitted as two separate Microsoft Word documents (see below). Respondents are requested to provide the following information at the start of their response to this RFI: • Associated government/company/ institution name (if applicable). • Contact information to allow for follow-up questions as necessary. This RFI is seeking responses organized into two distinct Parts: E:\FR\FM\04FEN1.SGM 04FEN1
