SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
authority of the Recovery Act, Public
Law 111–5, section 1605(b)(2), the head
of a federal department or agency may
issue a ‘‘determination of
inapplicability’’ (a waiver of the Buy
American provision) if the iron, steel, or
relevant manufactured good is not
produced or manufactured in the United
States in sufficient and reasonably
available quantities and of a satisfactory
quality (‘‘nonavailability’’). On
November 10, 2009, the Secretary of
Energy delegated the authority to make
all inapplicability determinations to the
Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency
and Renewable Energy (EERE), for EERE
projects under the Recovery Act.
Pursuant to this delegation the Assistant
Secretary, EERE, has concluded that 24leaf, motorized DMX iris units (items
used in conjunction with a Source 4
lighting instrument in the theatrical
lighting business); Induction lamps and
ballasts for induction lighting systems
(this waiver does not include fixtures
for induction lighting, which are readily
available from domestic manufacturers);
Enphase micro-inverters for solar
photovoltaic systems; gas or propane
commercial-scale high efficiency
condensing wall hung boiler with
indirect water heater, 94% or greater
efficiency and a BTU output below
350,000, constructed with SA240–316
Ti stainless steel; large-format solar
thermal collectors for integrated district
heating systems (includes only highperformance flat plate solar collectors
that possess the ability to limit the
convective heat loss from the absorber
plate to the cover glass, effectively
minimizing heat losses to less than 2.6
W/m2K; the capability of sustaining
output temperatures of 195 degrees F;
and a gross collector area of greater than
150 ft2); turbochargers for Mitsubishi/
Man 52/55B diesel generator engine
(only in circumstances where replacing
an existing MAN/NA48T turbocharger);
and Liebert Variable Speed Upgrade
Kits and Liebert iCOM Control Upgrade
kits for the Liebert Chilled Water Deluxe
heating, cooling, and humidification
space conditioner that will be used on
eligible EERE-Recovery Act funded
projects qualify for the ‘‘nonavailability’’
waiver determination.
EERE has developed a robust process
to ascertain in a systematic and
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:48 Aug 24, 2010
Jkt 220001
expedient manner whether or not there
is domestic manufacturing capacity for
the items submitted for a waiver of the
Recovery Act Buy American provision.
This process involves a close
collaboration with the United States
Department of Commerce National
Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) Manufacturing Extension
Partnership (MEP), in order to scour the
domestic manufacturing landscape in
search of producers before making any
nonavailability.
The NIST MEP has 59 regional centers
with substantial knowledge of, and
connections to, the domestic
manufacturing sector. MEP uses their
regional centers to ‘scout’ for current or
potential manufacturers of the
product(s) submitted in a waiver
request. In the course of this interagency
collaboration, MEP has been able to find
exact or partial matches for
manufactured goods that EERE grantees
had been unable to locate. As a result,
in those cases, EERE was able to work
with the grantees to procure Americanmade products rather than granting a
waiver.
Upon receipt of completed waiver
requests for the seven products in the
current waiver, EERE reviewed the
information provided and submitted the
relevant technical information to the
NIST MEP. The MEP then used their
network of nationwide centers to scout
for domestic manufacturers. The NIST
MEP reported that their scouting
process did not locate any domestic
manufacturers for these exact or
equivalent items.
In addition to the MEP collaboration
outlined above, the EERE Buy American
Coordinator worked with labor unions,
trade associations and other
manufacturing stakeholders to scout for
domestic manufacturing capacity or an
equivalent product for each item
contained in this waiver. EERE also
conducted significant amounts of
independent research to supplement
MEP’s scouting efforts, including
utilizing the solar experts employed by
the Department of Energy’s National
Renewable Energy Laboratory. EERE’s
research efforts confirmed the MEP
findings that the goods included in this
waiver are not produced in the United
States in sufficient and reasonably
available quantities and of a satisfactory
quality.
The nonavailability determination is
also informed by the inquiries and
petitions to EERE from recipients of
EERE Recovery Act funds, and from
suppliers, distributors, retailers and
trade associations—all stating that their
individual efforts to locate domestic
manufacturers have been unsuccessful.

Having established a proper
justification based on domestic
nonavailability, EERE hereby provides
notice that on August 11, 2010, seven
nationwide categorical waivers of
section 1605 of the Recovery Act were
issued as detailed supra. This notice
constitutes the detailed written
justification required by Section 1605(c)
for waivers based on a finding under
subsection (b).
This waiver determination is pursuant
to the delegation of authority by the
Secretary of Energy to the Assistant
Secretary for Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy with respect to
expenditures within the purview of her
responsibility. Consequently, this
waiver applies to EERE projects carried
out under the Recovery Act.
Authority: Pub. L. 111–5, section 1605.
Issued in Washington, DC, on August 16,
2010.
Cathy Zoi,
Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and
