AGENCY
[EPA–R07–OW–2010–0898; FRL–9236–7]
Notice of a Regional Project Waiver of
Section 1605 (Buy American) of the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (ARRA) to the Central Iowa
Water Association
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
EPA is hereby granting a
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 Central Iowa Water Association
(CIWA) for the purchase of ORION
Water Meter Monitor with Leak
Detection Indicator in-home water meter
monitors manufactured in Malaysia by
Eastech, Inc., under license from Badger
Meter, Inc., located in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. This is a project specific
waiver and only applies to the use of the
specified product for the ARRA project
being proposed. Any other ARRA
recipient that wishes to use the same
product must apply for a separate
waiver based on project specific
circumstances. The waiver applicant
states that the Badger in-home water
meter monitors are the only devices that
are compatible with the water meter
heads installed by the CIWA. The
Regional Administrator is making this
determination based on the review and
recommendations of the Drinking Water

State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) staff.
CIWA has provided sufficient
documentation to support their waiver
request. The Assistant Administrator of
the Office of Administration and
Resources Management has concurred
on this decision to make an exception
to Section 1605 of ARRA.
DATES: Effective Date: November 30,
2010.

Engineer, Water Wetlands and
Pesticides Division (WWPD),

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with ARRA Section 1605(c),
EPA hereby provides notice that we are
granting a project waiver of the
requirements of Section 1605(a) of
Public Law 111–5, Buy American
requirements, to the Central Iowa Water
Association for the purchase of a nondomestically manufactured ORION
Water Meter Monitor with Leak
Detection Indicator in-home water meter
monitors manufactured in Malaysia by
Eastech, Inc., under license from Badger
Meter, Inc., located in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, to meet CIWA’s project
specifications.
Section 1605 of the ARRA requires
that none of the appropriated funds may
be used for the construction, alteration,
maintenance, or repair of a public
building or a public works project
unless all of the iron, steel, and
manufactured goods used in the project
is produced in the United States, or
unless a waiver is provided to the
recipient by the head of the appropriate
agency, here the EPA. A waiver may be
provided if EPA determines that (1)
applying these requirements would be
inconsistent with the public interest; (2)
iron, steel, and the relevant
manufactured goods are not produced in
the United States in sufficient and
reasonably available quantities and of a
satisfactory quality; or (3) inclusion of
iron, steel, and the relevant
manufactured goods produced in the
United States will increase the cost of
the overall project by more than 25
percent.
The CIWA drinking water
improvement project is proposing the
use of a non-domestically manufactured
water meter monitor. This project will
improve efficiency and promote water
conservation by providing customers
with a single meter reading platform
and in-home monitoring devices.
Residential water meters have been
PO 00000
Frm 00034

supplied and utilized by Sensus since
the late 1970’s. The current Sensus
water meters are now aged and obsolete.
The Sensus meter technology has been
discontinued and an in home
monitoring unit is not available for the
North American market.
The Drinking Water State Revolving
Fund (DWSRF) staff has reviewed this
waiver request and has determined that
the supporting documentation provided
by the CIWA establishes both a proper
basis to specify a particular
manufactured good, and that there is no
domestic manufactured good currently
available. The information provided is
sufficient to meet the following criteria
listed under Section 1605(b) of the
ARRA and in the April 28, 2009
Memorandum: Iron, steel, and the
manufactured goods are not produced in
the United States in sufficient and
reasonably available quantities and of a
satisfactory quality.
EPA has also evaluated CIWA’s
request to determine if its submission is
considered late or if it could be
considered timely, as per the OMB
Guidance at CFR 176.120. EPA will
generally regard waiver requests with
respect to components that were
specified in the bid solicitation or in a
general/primary construction contract as
‘‘late’’ if submitted after the contract
date. However, EPA could also
determine that a request be evaluated as
timely, though made after the date that
the contract was signed, if the need for
a waiver was not reasonably foreseeable.
If the need for a waiver is reasonably
foreseeable, then EPA could still apply
discretion in these late cases as per the
OMB Guidance, which says ‘‘the award
official may deny the request.’’ For those
waiver requests that do not have a
reasonably unforeseeable basis for
lateness, but for which the waiver basis
is valid and there is no apparent gain by
the ARRA recipient or loss on behalf of
the government, then EPA will still
consider granting a waiver.
In this case, CIWA’s waiver request
indicates that the Badger in-home water
meter monitors are the only devices
compatible with the Badger meter
transmitter system and that no other
water meter monitors are capable of
meeting satisfactory quality to meet the
technical specifications. The existing
installed Sensus meter technology has
been discontinued and Sensus has
indicated that an equivalent in home
monitoring unit is not available from
Sensus for the North American market
at this time. CIWA was not informed
that the water meter monitor was not
American made until the point of
signing a final purchase agreement, after
the contract was signed. There is no
