Background
The FHWA’s Buy America policy in
23 CFR 635.410 requires a domestic
manufacturing process for any steel or
iron products (including protective
coatings) that are permanently
incorporated in a Federal-aid
construction project. The regulation also
provides for a waiver of the Buy
America requirements when the
application of such requirements would
be inconsistent with the public interest
or when satisfactory quality domestic
steel and iron products are not
sufficiently available. This notice
provides information regarding the
FHWA’s finding that a Buy America
waiver is appropriate for the use of nondomestic 22 mm Industrial dock steel
chain, 400 ft, in Maine, and U69 guard
bars in Oregon.
In accordance with the Division I,
section 126 of the ‘‘Omnibus
Appropriations Act, 2009’’ (Pub. L. 111–
8), the FHWA published a notice of
intent to issue a waiver for nondomestic 22mm Industrial deck fender
chain, 400 ft. (https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/
construction/contracts/
waivers.cfm?id=40) on November 5. The
FHWA received no comments in
response to this notice which suggested
that the 22 mm Industrial dock fender
chain, 400 ft is available domestically.
On November 13, FHWA published a
notice of intent to issue a waiver for
non-domestic turnouts (Manganese

Sfmt 4703

turnout castings, U69 guard bars, LV
braces), and Weld kits (https://
www.fhwa.dot.gov/construction/
contracts/waivers.cfm?id=41). The
FHWA received four comments which
confirmed domestic availability of
Manganese castings, LV braces, and
Weld kits. During the 15-day comment
periods, the FHWA conducted
additional nationwide review to locate
potential domestic manufacturers for
the 22 mm Industrial dock fender steel
chain, 400 ft, and U69 guard bars. Based
on all the information available to the
agency, the FHWA concludes that there
are no domestic manufacturers for the
22 mm Industrial dock fender steel
chain and U69 guard bars. Thus, the
FHWA concludes that a Buy America
waiver is appropriate for 22 mm
Industrial dock fender steel chain and
U69 guard bars, but not appropriate for
Manganese turnout castings, LV braces,
and Weld kits by 23 CFR 635.410(c)(1).
In accordance with the provisions of
section 117 of the SAFETEA–LU
Technical Corrections Act of 2008 (Pub.
L. 110–244, 122 Stat.1572), the FHWA
is providing this notice as its finding
that a waiver of Buy America
requirements is appropriate for the 22
mm Industrial dock fender steel chain
and U69 guard bars. The FHWA invites
public comment on this finding for an
additional 15 days following the
effective date of the finding. Comments
may be submitted to the FHWA’s Web
sites via the links provided to the
Oregon and Maine waiver pages noted
above.
