Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 229 / Tuesday, November 30, 2010 / Notices
that domestic track nuts are ‘‘reasonably
available’’ and the waiver should still be
granted.
CONCLUSION:
For the following reason, FRA is
granting NNEPRA’s request. The FRA
agrees with NNEPRA in that custom
made fabricated track nuts that cannot
be delivered for 10–16 weeks are not
‘‘reasonably available’’ under 49 U.S.C.
24405(a)(2)(B), especially given that
NNEPRA has mobilized for
construction, prompt project
implementation is consistent with
ARRA’s economic recovery goals, and
Maine has a short construction season.
In addition, NNEPRA used a
competitive bidding process to procure
the track nuts. Neither Chicago Track
Nut and Bolt nor Dyson Corp. came
forward at that time, but instead
NNEPRA received bids only from
suppliers offering foreign-made track
nuts. This waiver is granted only
because of the specific facts of this
project; any future requests for a waiver
regarding this product will not be
granted without a specific showing that
domestic track nuts for that particular
project also are not reasonably available
at that time. This decision does not
become final until fifteen (15) days after
its publication in the Federal Register.
Sincerely,
Karen Rae
Deputy Administrator
Note: The Deputy Administrator is making
this decision because Administrator Joseph
C. Szabo is recused from making it. Mr.
Szabo is a former United Transportation
Union (UTU) employee. The UTU
commented in opposition to granting the
waiver request.
Issued in Washington, DC, on November
23, 2010.
