Section
1605(a) of the Recovery Act provides
that none of the funds appropriated or
made available by the Recovery Act may
be used for a project for the
construction, alteration, maintenance, or
repair of a public building or public
work unless all of the iron, steel, and
manufactured goods used in the project
are produced in the United States.
Section 1605(b) provides that the Buy
American requirement shall not apply
in any case or category in which the
head of a Federal department or agency
finds that: (1) Applying the Buy
American requirement would be
inconsistent with the public interest; (2)
iron, steel, and the relevant
manufactured goods are not produced in
the U.S. in sufficient and reasonably
available quantities or of satisfactory
quality, or (3) inclusion of iron, steel,
and manufactured goods will increase
the cost of the overall project by more
than 25 percent. Section 1605(c)
provides that if the head of a Federal
department or agency makes a
determination pursuant to section
1605(b), the head of the department or
agency shall publish a detailed written
justification in the Federal Register.
In accordance with section 1605(c) of
the Recovery Act and OMB’s
implementing guidance published on
April 23, 2009 (74 FR 18449), this notice
advises the public that, on October 17,
2012, upon request of the Chesapeake
Redevelopment and Housing Authority,
HUD granted an exception to
applicability of the Buy American
requirements with respect to work,
using CFRFC grant funds, in connection
with the Schooner Cove and Peaceful
Village projects. The exception was
granted by HUD on the basis that the
relevant manufactured goods (gas fired
tankless water heaters) are not produced
in the U.S. in sufficient and reasonably
available quantities or of satisfactory
quality.
