Download as PDF mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES 33820 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 114 / Tuesday, June 15, 2010 / Notices minimis amount of the project, that is, for any such incidental components up to a limit of no more than 5 percent of the total cost of the materials used in and incorporated into a project. Recipients who wish to use this waiver should in consultation with their contractors determine the items to be covered by this waiver. They must retain relevant documentation as to those items in their project files, including the types and/or categories of items to which this waiver is applied, the total cost of incidental components covered by the waiver for each type or category, and the calculations by which they determined the total cost of materials used in and incorporated into the project. In using this waiver, recipients should consider that all sanitation facilities construction projects by definition require the expenditure of a certain amount of project funds on the literal ‘‘nuts and bolts’’-type components whose origins cannot readily be identified prior to procurement. The IHS has determined the 5 percent limit based on the previously mentioned EPA inquiries, its 50-year experience constructing sanitation facilities for American Indian and Alaska Native communities, and informed professional engineering judgment as to the maximum total amount of incidental goods used in most sanitation facilities construction projects. In a few, exceptional cases, recipients using this waiver may have multiple types of lowcost components which, when combined and in conjunction with those literal ‘‘nuts and bolts’’-type components, may total more than 5 percent. Recipients in such cases will have to choose which of these incidental components will be covered by the waiver and which will not, and will document the type and amount of such items covered. Components which the recipient is unable to include within the 5 percent limit of this waiver must comply with the requirements of section 1605 by appropriate means other than coverage under this waiver. Further, as described above, in some cases projects are jointly funded by IHS and the EPA. Both the IHS and the EPA have issued de minimis waivers that have a cap of a total of 5 percent of the total cost of the materials used in and incorporated into a project. In the case of a jointly funded project, these waivers shall not be combined to create a waiver of greater than 5 percent of total project costs. This supplementary information constitutes the ‘‘detailed written justification’’ required by Section 1605(c) of ARRA and Section 176.80 of VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:15 Jun 14, 2010 Jkt 220001 OMB’s rules for waivers of the Buy American provisions.
