SQF–2 solar powered submersible
pump system with control and solar
panels (pump system) manufactured in
Denmark by GrundFos. The head of
each federal agency is authorized to
issue project waivers pursuant to
Section 1605(c) of ARRA. Section
1605(a) of the ARRA requires that none
of the funds appropriated or otherwise
made available by the ARRA may be
used for the construction, alteration,
maintenance, or repair of a public
building or public work unless all of the
iron, steel, and manufactured goods
used in the project are produced in the
United States. Pursuant to Section
1605(c), a waiver may be provided if
EPA determines: (1) Applying these
requirements would be inconsistent
with the public interest; (2) iron, steel,
and the relevant manufactured goods
are not produced in the United States in
sufficient and reasonably available
quantities and of a satisfactory quality;
or (3) inclusion of iron, steel, and the
relevant manufactured goods produced
in the United States will increase the
cost of the overall project by more than
25 percent. A Delegation of Authority
Memorandum was issued by the EPA
Administrator on March 31, 2009 which
provided EPA Regional Administrators
with the authority to issue waivers to
Section 1605(a) of ARRA within the
geographic boundaries of their
respective regions and with respect to
requests by individual recipients of
ARRA financial assistance.
The MRCD implements projects
within the Tomales Bay and Stemple
Creek Watersheds to stop soil erosion,
improve riparian habitat, and stabilize
eroding stream channels on agricultural
lands. The MRCD is installing the pump
system to redevelop a brick well in
order to provide replacement water for
livestock which have been kept from
natural water supplies, due to efforts to
fence off a creek for streamside and
riparian restoration, which restoration
will also reduce non-point source
pollution. This project is intended to
further the purposes of the San
Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality
Control Board (SFBRWQCB) plan to
facilitate land (grazing) management by
providing water and water outlets. This
will permit the landowner to practice
rotational grazing and avoid depleting
the integrity of the land with intense
grazing.
The MRCD’s specifications require the
pump system to deliver 920 gallons per
day (GPD) against a total dynamic head
(TDH) of 160 feet. The MRCD stated in
their waiver submission that the closest
equivalent domestically-manufactured
pump systems do not meet these project
specifications. Initial analysis by EPA’s
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:46 Feb 26, 2010
Jkt 220001
national contractor indicated that there
was one domestic manufacturer that
might be able to meet the project
specifications, but observed that
additional information clarifying the
project’s winter month flow
requirements was necessary to
determine whether this domestic
manufacturer could meet all necessary
project specifications.
Additional information provided by
the MRCD specified that the system
must also have a pumping capacity of
1400 GPD at 160 feet of TDH during the
winter. Further analysis by EPA and
EPA’s national contractor confirmed
that domestic models capable of
meeting the pumping capacity and TDH
specifications in winter months would
require an additional fuel source. The
method to generate this power would
require the use of the emergency
generator system. Using the emergency
system defeats the purpose of having a
backup source, and leaves the project
site vulnerable to failure. Moreover, as
the back-up source of power supply
would need to be in operation for nearly
the same amount of time that the solar
powered equipment would be in
operation, this reliance on the
emergency system compromises the
environmental significance achieved by
having a solar powered pump system.
The April 28, 2009 EPA
Memorandum for implementation of the
ARRA Buy American provisions of P.L.
111–5, states the quantity of iron, steel,
or relevant manufactured good is
‘‘reasonably available’’ if it is available at
the time and place needed, and in the
proper form or specification as specified
in the project plans and design.
The MRCD’s submission articulates a
reasonable and appropriate basis for
choosing the type of technology it chose
for this project in environmental
objectives and performance
specifications. Further, it provides
sufficient documentation the relevant
manufactured goods are not produced in
the United States in sufficient and
reasonably available quantity and of a
satisfactory quality to meet its technical
specifications. The MRCD has
incorporated specific technical design
specifications for the proposed project
based on their needs and provided
information to the EPA indicating there
are currently no pump systems
manufactured in the United States that
have equivalent product specifications.
The MRCD has also provided
certification from its supplier indicating
there are no systems of comparable
quality available from a domestic
manufacturer to meet its specifications.
Based on additional research conducted
by the EPA’s Buy American consultant,
PO 00000
Frm 00060
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
there do not appear to be other pump
systems available to meet the MRCD’s
specifications.
Furthermore, the purpose of the
ARRA is to stimulate economic recovery
by funding current infrastructure
construction, not to delay shovel ready
projects by requiring entities, like the
MRCD, to revise their design and
potentially choose a more costly and
less efficient project. The imposition of
ARRA Buy American requirements on
such projects eligible for CWSRF
assistance would result in unreasonable
delay and thus displace the ‘‘shovel
ready’’ status for this project.
The EPA Region 9 Infrastructure
Office, Office of Regional Counsel,
EPA’s Buy American consultant, and
EPA’s Office of Administration and
Resource Management have reviewed
this waiver request and have
determined the supporting
documentation provided by the MRCD
is sufficient to meet the criteria listed
under ARRA Section 1605(b)(2) and the
EPA April 28, 2009, Memorandum for
implementation of ARRA Buy American
provisions of Public Law 111–5.
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,
the MRCD is hereby granted a waiver
from the Buy American requirements of
Sections 1605(a) of Public Law 111–5,
for the purchase of the GrundFos pump
system, specified in the MRCD’s request
of September 23, 2009. This
supplementary information constitutes
the detailed written justification
required by Section 1605(c) for waivers
based on a finding under Section
1605(b)(2).
Authority: Public Law 111–5, Section
1605.

year.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in the New and Emerging
Technologies 911 Improvement Act of
2008 (NET 911 Act), Public Law 110–
283, Stat. 2620 (2008) (to be codified at
47 CFR Section 615a–1), and section
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:46 Feb 26, 2010
Jkt 220001
222 of the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
To implement section 222 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, the Commission’s rules
impose a general duty on carriers to
protect the privacy of customer
proprietary network information and
carrier proprietary information from
unauthorized disclosure. See 47 CFR
64.2001 et seq. In the Order, the
Commission additionally has clarified
that the Commission’s rules
contemplate that incumbent LECs and
other owners or controllers of 911 or
E911 infrastructure will acquire
information regarding interconnected
VoIP providers and their customers for
use in the provision of emergency
services. We fully expect that these
entities will use the information only for
the provision of E911 services. To be
clear, no entity may use customer
information obtained as a result of the
provision of 911 or E911 services for
marketing purposes.
Needs and Uses: In a Report and
Order, FCC 08–249, WC Docket No. 08–
171, the FCC requires an owner or
controller of a 911 or enhanced 911
(E911) capability to make that capability
available to a requesting interconnected
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
provider in certain circumstances. This
requirement involves the collection and
disclosure to emergency services
personnel of customers’ location
information. In a previous action, the
Commission required interconnected
VoIP providers to collect certain
location information from their
customers and disclose it to the entities
that owner or control an Automatic
Location Information (ALI) database.
That OMB-approved requirement is
under OMB Control Number 3060–1085.
All the relevant costs of the entities that
own or control an ALI database were
previously described in 3060–1085. The
Commission has calculated the
paperwork burdens of this present item
in such a way as to prevent double
counting for OMB’s inventory.
