Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 248 / Tuesday, December 28, 2010 / Notices
(AIP). To determine if there were any
U.S. manufacturers that can produce
sufficient and reasonable amounts of
stationary FOD detection systems; the
FAA issued a notice in the Federal
Register on August 5, 2010 requesting
information from both domestic and
foreign manufacturers producing FOD
detection equipment (75 FR 47344).
Following the Federal Register notice
the FAA received information from five
companies indicating that they
manufacturer stationary FOD detection
equipment meeting the requirements of
Advisory Circular 150/5220–24. The
five companies were: Trex Aviation
Systems, which is based in San Diego,
CA; QinetiQ Ltd., which is based in the
United Kingdom but has a
manufacturing facility in Massachusetts;
Stratech Systems Limited, which is
based in Singapore; Magna BSP Ltd.,
which is based in Israel; Rheinmetall
Italia S.P.A., which is based in Italy; and
X-Sight Systems Inc., which is based in
Israel.
Based on the information received the
FAA identified two companies
manufacturing stationary FOD detection
systems in the United States: Trex
Aviation Systems and QinetiQ.
Although both Trex Aviation Systems
and QinetiQ produce their FOD
detection systems in the United States
their systems do not fully meet the Buy
American content requirements, which
require that the product be
manufactured with one hundred percent
U.S. components and subcomponents
(49 U.S.C. 50101). As a result the FAA
will issue a Nationwide Buy American
Waiver for the Trex Aviation Systems’
FOD Finder XF and QinetiQ’s Tarsier
FOD System based on the 60% U.S.
content and U.S. final assembly waiver
permitted in 49 U.S.C. 50101(b)(3). With
the presence of these two manufacturers
in the United States the FAA has
determined there is sufficient quantity
and consequently there is no
justification for issuing any Buy
American Waivers to foreign
manufacturers based on insufficient
quantity at this time. In the past the
FAA has concluded that when there are
two or more manufacturers in a
particular market sufficient quantity
may exist; as concluded in the Buy
American Waiver determinations
related to Automated Weather
Observing Systems (AWOS) and airfield
lighting equipment.
While the FAA is not at this time
issuing any Buy American Waivers to
foreign manufacturers, if in the future
these foreign companies begin assembly
in the United States and can meet the
60% U.S. content and U.S. final
assembly waiver requirement under 49
VerDate Mar<15>2010
22:37 Dec 27, 2010
Jkt 223001
U.S.C. 0101(b)(3) the FAA will
reevaluate their status.
This ‘‘Nationwide Waiver’’ will allow
Trex Aviation Systems’ FOD Finder XF
and QinetiQ’s Tarsier FOD System to be
used on AIP funded projects without
having to receive separate waivers for
each project. Having a nationwide
waiver enables projects to start quickly
without having to wait for the Buy
American analysis to be completed for
every project, while still assuring the
funds used for airport projects under the
statute are being directed to
manufacturers that meet the Buy
American requirements. A complete list
of items that have been granted a
Nationwide Buy American Waiver can
be found on the FAA Web site at

entitled, Equipment Meeting Buy
American Requirements.
