The EPA is hereby granting a waiver of the Buy America 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 Town of Sturbridge, Massachusetts (``Town'') for the purchase of a foreign manufactured submersible mixer to be installed in a new septage storage tank as part of a proposed wastewater treatment plant upgrade.
