entitled, Airport Lighting and
Navigation Aid Equipment Request For
Qualifications. The FAA wants to
determine if there is sufficient quantity
of domestic manufacturers capable of
meeting the FAA technical
requirements. If the FAA cannot find
that there are USA manufacturers, it
will issue a nationwide waiver to the
foreign manufacturers identified as
being capable of meeting the technical
requirements.
Technical Requirements: FAA
Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5345–46D,
Specification for Runway and Taxiway
Light Fixtures provides the technical
requirements for the L–850A, L–850B,
L–852K and L–852S lighting equipment.
FAA Advisory Circular 150/5345–51B,
Specifications for Discharge-Type
Flashing Light Equipment, provides the
technical requirements for the REILs.
FAA Advisory Circular 150/5345–28G,
Precision Approach Path Indicator
(PAPI) Systems, provides the technical
requirements for the PAPI equipment.
After review, the FAA may issue a
nationwide waiver to Buy American
Preferences for foreign manufacturers or
United States manufacturers that do not
meet the Buy American Preference
requirements. Waivers will not be
issued for manufacturers that do not
fully meet the technical requirements.
This ‘‘nationwide waiver’’ allows
equipment to be used on airport projects
without having to receive separate
project waivers. Having a nationwide
waiver allows projects to start quickly
without have to wait for the Buy
American analysis to be completed for
every project, while still assuring the
funds used for airport projects meet the
requirements of the Act.
Items that have been granted a
‘‘nationwide waiver’’ can be found on
the FAA Web site at: https://

entitled, Equipment Meeting Buy
American Requirements.

Abstract: A Guide to Reporting
Highway Statistics provides for the
collection of information by describing
policies and procedures for assembling
highway related data from the existing
files of State agencies. The data includes
motor-vehicle registration and fees,
motor-fuel use and taxation, driver

The data are published annually in the
FHWA’s Highway Statistics.
Information from Highway Statistics is
used in the joint FHWA and Federal
Transit Administration required
biennial report to Congress, Status of the
Nation’s Highways, Bridges, and

governments of the 50 States, the
District of Columbia and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

Title: Highways for LIFE Program.
Background: Section 1502 of
SAFETEA–LU established the
‘‘Highways for LIFE’’ Program. The
purpose of the Highways for LIFE
program is to advance longer-lasting
highways using innovative technologies
and practices to accomplish the fast
construction of efficient and safe
highways and bridges. ‘‘Highways for
LIFE’’ is focused on accelerating the rate
of adoption of proven technologies. The
program provides funding to States to
accelerate technology adoption to
construct, reconstruct, or rehabilitate
Federal-aid highway projects that
incorporate innovative technologies that
will improve safety, reduce congestion
due to construction, and improve
quality. Those States interested in
participating in the ‘‘Highways for
LIFE’’ program would submit an
application for project funding. The
information to be provided on the
application includes a description of the
project, the innovative technologies to
be used and a description of how these
PO 00000
