Background
The NITC project is a new border
crossing proposed by the State of
Michigan and the Government of
Canada over the Detroit River linking
Detroit, Michigan, to Windsor, Ontario.
The State of Michigan and Canada
signed a Crossing Agreement on June
15, 2012, authorizing the construction of
the NITC. This Crossing Agreement
provides a framework for a Crossing
Authority established by Canada to
design, construct, finance, operate, and
maintain a new International Crossing
between Canada and Michigan, under
the oversight of a jointly established
International Authority, and through
one or more Public-Private Agreements
with one or more private sector
Concessionaires.
The Michigan components of the
project that are not funded by the
private sector Concessionaire(s) or by
the US Federal government will be
financed entirely with funds advanced
by Canada (the ‘‘Canadian
Contributions’’). These components
include the interchange linking the
bridge to I–75, the Michigan approach,
and the Michigan plaza (collectively,
the ‘‘Michigan Components’’). A record
of decision (ROD) was signed by the
FHWA for the NITC project on January
14, 2009, pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), after
extensive consideration of various
alternatives, including the no build
alternative, that were identified in the
draft environmental impact statement
(DEIS).
The FHWA’s Buy America policy in
23 CFR 635.410 requires a domestic
manufacturing process for any steel or
iron products (including protective
coatings) that are permanently
incorporated in a Federal-aid
construction project. The regulation also
provides for a waiver of the Buy
America requirements when the
application would be inconsistent with
the public interest or when satisfactory
quality domestic steel and iron products
are not sufficiently available. Here, the
Governor of Michigan requests a waiver
from Buy America on the basis that a
