ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [FRL–9220–3] Notice of a Project Waiver of Section 1605: (Buy American Requirement) of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) to the Town of Windsor, CA; Project# 4910017–033 Funded by the California DWSRF ARRA Loan# AR09FP45 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The EPA 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 Town of Windsor, a California Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF)/ARRA loan recipient, for the purchase of a 20-inch diameter mild steel well casing (API standard 5L or ASTM standard A53 schedule 30b or better). This is a project-specific waiver and only applies to the use of the specified product for the ARRA-funded SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 project being proposed. Any other ARRA project that may wish to use the same product must apply for a separate waiver based on project-specific circumstances. The Assistant Administrator of the Office of Administration and Resources Management has concurred on this decision to make an exception under section 1605(b)(2) of ARRA. DATES: Effective Date: August 13, 2010. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Abimbola Odusoga, Environmental Engineer, Water Division, Infrastructure Office (WTR–4), (415) 972–3437, U.S. EPA Region 9, 75 Hawthorne, San Francisco, CA, 94105. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with ARRA Section 1605(c) and OMB regulations at 2 CFR Part 176, Subpart B, the EPA hereby provides notice that it is granting a late project waiver of the requirements of Section 1605(a) of Public Law 111–5, Buy American requirements, to the City for the purchase and use of a 20-inch diameter mild steel well casing manufactured abroad. The head of each Federal agency is authorized to issue project waivers pursuant to Section 1605(c) of ARRA. A delegation of authority memorandum was issued by the EPA Administrator on March 31, 2009 which provided EPA Regional Administrators with the authority to issue waivers to Section 1605(a) of ARRA within the geographic boundaries of their respective regions and with respect to requests by individual recipients of ARRA financial assistance. This waiver request came after the goods had been used in the project. Under 2 CFR 176.130(c)(1), the applicable noncompliance provision regarding unauthorized use of foreign manufactured goods, EPA is authorized to process a waiver under 2 CFR 176.120(a) if ‘‘the need for such determination otherwise was not reasonably foreseeable.’’ EPA has further outlined this process in its April 28, 2009 memorandum: Implementation of Buy American provisions of Public Law 111–5, the ‘‘American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009’’ (the April 28 memorandum). EPA has determined under these circumstances that the need for such a waiver was not reasonably foreseeable. Therefore, under the authority of 2 CFR 176.120 and 176.130(c)(1), and as explained in the April 28 memorandum, EPA will process the waiver request as if it was requested in a timely manner. EPA has determined that it would have evaluated a waiver request had the recipient applied for a waiver prior to using the foreign casing in the ARRA project. EPA E:\FR\FM\03NON1.SGM 03NON1
