ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The Regional Administrator of EPA Region 3 is hereby granting a project waiver of the Buy American requirements of ARRA Section 1605 under the authority of Section 1605(b)(2) [manufactured goods are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities and of a satisfactory quality] to the Canaan Valley Public Service District (CVPSD) for the purchase of a membrane bioreactor system (MBR), supplied by Enviroquip Inc., that contains a primary component not manufactured in America, at two of its Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs). CVPSD indicates that the MBR treatment process is necessary to achieve the wastewater treatment levels required by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits issued for these WWTPs. The membrane filtration equipment under consideration is manufactured by a company located in Japan and no United States manufacturer produces an alternative that meets the CVPSD’s technical specifications. This is a project specific waiver and only applies to the use of the specified product for the ARRA funded project being proposed. Any other ARRA project that may wish to use the same product must apply for a separate waiver based on the specific project circumstances. The PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Regional Administrator is making this determination based on the review and recommendations of the EPA Region III, Water Protection Division, Office of Infrastructure and Assistance. The CVPSD has provided sufficient documentation to support its request. The Assistant Administrator of the EPA’s Office of Administration and Resources Management has concurred on this decision to make an exception to Section 1605 of ARRA. This action permits the purchase of membrane filtration cassettes for the proposed project being implemented by the CVPSD. DATES: Effective Date: May 17, 2010. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Chominski, Deputy Associate Director, (215) 814–2162, or David McAdams, Environmental Engineer, (215) 814–5764, Office of Infrastructure & Assistance (OIA), Water Protection Division, U.S. EPA Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103– 2029. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with ARRA Sections 1605(c) and 1605(b)(2), EPA hereby provides notice that it is granting a project waiver of the requirements of Section 1605(a) of Public Law 111–5, Buy American requirements to the Canaan Valley Public Service District (CVPSD) for the acquisition of an ‘‘Enviroquip MBR system.’’ CVPSD has been unable to find an MBR system that contains Americanmade MBR cassettes to meet its specific wastewater requirements. Section 1605 of the ARRA requires that none of the appropriated funds 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 unless a waiver is provided to the recipient by EPA. A waiver may be provided if EPA determines that (1) applying these requirements would be inconsistent with 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. CVPSD’s waiver request is to allow the purchase of the Enviroquip MBR system with four membrane filtration cassettes, manufactured by Kubota Inc. of Japan, for use in improvements to two existing WWTPs in West Virginia. This project will upgrade two of its existing E:\FR\FM\02JNN1.SGM 02JNN1
