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.
In this case, there are no U.S.
manufacturers that meet Columbia,
MO’s project specification for the HVAC
systems. The waiver request was not
made prior to the contract being signed
because initially the manufacturer said
their product was manufactured in the
U.S. Trane Commercial Systems has
since moved manufacturing of some
products to Monterrey, Mexico. In light
of the unexpected change in the
manufacturing location, the City could
not have reasonably foreseen the need at
the time of contract award to submit a
waiver request. EPA will therefore
consider Columbia, MO’s waiver
request, an unforeseeable late request, as
though it had been timely made.
Furthermore, the purpose of the
ARRA is to stimulate economic recovery
by funding current infrastructure
construction, not to delay projects that
are ‘‘shovel ready’’ by requiring
potential SRF eligible recipients, such
as the City of Columbia, MO, to revise
their design standards and
specifications as well as their
construction schedule. There are no
domestic manufacturers that can
provide HVAC systems that meet the
specifications of this WWTF
improvement project. To delay this
construction would directly conflict
with a fundamental economic purpose
of ARRA, which is to create or retain
jobs.
The April 28, 2009 EPA HQ
Memorandum, ‘‘Implementation of Buy
American provisions of Public Law
111–5, the ‘American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009’ ’’
(‘‘Memorandum’’), defines reasonably
available quantity as ‘‘the quantity of
iron, steel, or relevant manufactured
good is available or will be available at
the time needed and place needed, and
in the proper form or specification as
specified in the project plans and
design.’’ The same Memorandum
defines ‘‘satisfactory quality’’ as ‘‘the
quality of steel, iron or manufactured
good specified in the project plans and
designs.’’
The March 31, 2009 Delegation of
Authority Memorandum provided
Regional Administrators with the
temporary authority to issue exceptions
to Section 1605 of the ARRA within the
geographic boundaries of their
respective regions and with respect to
requests by individual grant recipients.

Having established both a proper
basis to specify the particular
manufactured good required for this
project and that this manufactured good
was not available from a producer in the
United States, the City is hereby granted
a waiver from the Buy American
requirements of Section 1605(a) of
Public Law 111–5. This waiver permits
use of ARRA funds for the purchase of
a non-domestic manufactured Trane
Commercial Systems Heating/
Ventilation/Air Conditioning Systems
documented in City’s waiver request
submittal dated February 18, 2011. This
supplementary information constitutes
the detailed written justification
required by Section 1605(c) for waivers
based on a finding under subsection (b).
Authority: Pub. L. 111–5, section 1605.

ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC), as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
burdens, invites the general public and
other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collection, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995. Comments are
requested concerning (a) Whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission,
including whether the information shall
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
the Commission’s burden estimate; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information collected;
(d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
and (e) ways to further reduce the
information collection burden on small
business concerns with fewer than 25
employees.

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid control
number. No person shall be subject to
any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the
PRA that does not display a valid Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
control number.
DATES: Written PRA comments should
be submitted on or before August 26,
2011. If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the contact listed below as soon
as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to
the Federal Communications
Commission via e-mail to PRA@fcc.gov

from the Coast Guard in the area where
radio-navigation/radio-location devices
are located. This rule insures that no
hazard to marine navigation will result
from the grant of applications for nonselectable transponders and shore based
radio-navigation aids. The Coast Guard
is responsible for making this
determination under 14 U.S.C. 18.

to navigation is a critical factor in
determining whether this type of radio
device should be authorized.
