Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 116 / Monday, June 17, 2013 / Notices
Background: In 1995, the Federal
Highway Administration established the
biennial Excellence in Right-of-Way
Awards Program to recognize partners,
projects, and processes that use FHWA
funding sources to go beyond regulatory
compliance and achieve right-of-way
excellence. Excellence in Right-of-Way
awardees have contributed to
outstanding innovations that enhance
the right-of-way professional’s ability to
meet the challenges associated with
acquiring real property for Federal-aid
projects.
Similarly, FHWA established the
Excellence in Utility Relocation and
Accommodation Awards Program to
honor the use of innovative practices
and outstanding achievements in
reducing the cost or shortening the time
required to accommodate or relocate
utilities associated with highway
improvement projects. The goal of the
program is to showcase exemplary and
innovative projects, programs,
initiatives, and practices that
successfully integrate the consideration
of utilities in the planning, design,
construction, and maintenance of
transportation facilities.
Award: Anyone can nominate a
project, process, person or group that
has used Federal Highway
Administration funding sources to make
an outstanding contribution to
transportation and the right-of-way or
utility fields. The nominator is
responsible for submitting via email,
fax, or mail an application form that
summarizes the outstanding
accomplishments of the entry. FHWA
will use the collected information to
evaluate, showcase, and enhance the
public’s knowledge on addressing rightof-way challenges on transportation
projects and on relocating and
accommodating utilities associated with
highway improvement projects.
Nominations will be reviewed by an
independent panel of judges from
varying backgrounds. It is anticipated
that awards will be given every two
years. The winners are presented
plaques at an awards ceremony.
Respondents: Anyone who has used
Federal Highway funding sources in the
fifty states, the District of Columbia and
Puerto Rico.
Frequency: The information will be
collected biennially.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 6 hours per respondent per
application.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: It is expected that the
respondents will complete
approximately 50 applications for an
estimated total of 600 annual burden
hours.

Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), DOT.

This notice provides
information regarding the FHWA’s
finding that a conditional Buy America
waiver is appropriate for the obligation

with minimum 27 MPG for the State of

Background
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. This
notice provides information regarding
the FHWA’s finding that a partial Buy
America waiver is appropriate for the
obligation of Federal-aid CMAQ
program funds for the purchase of three
vehicles; Sedan or hatch back (Driver +
4 passenger capacity) two wheeled drive
with minimum 27 MPG for the State of
Vermont.
In accordance with Division A,
section 122 of the ‘‘Consolidated and
Further Continuing Appropriations Act,
2012’’ (Pub. L. 112–284), the FHWA
published a notice of intent to issue a
waiver on its Web site for the three
vehicles; Sedan or hatch back (Driver +
4 passenger capacity) two wheeled drive
with minimum 27 MPG for the State of
Vermont (https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/
construction/contracts/
waivers.cfm?id=67) on March 5, 2012.
The FHWA received 18 comments in
response to the publication. Fifteen
commenters objected to the proposed
waiver but did not provide evidence of
a domestic source that meets the
appropriate requirements. Three of the
commenters expressed partial or full
support for the proposed waiver based
on the belief that there are no domestic
manufacturers that are able to provide a
vehicle with 100 percent domestic steel
and iron content. Several commenters
questioned the need for this specific
type of vehicle; however, Vermont’s
representative explained that the
vehicles are necessary to meet their
needs of the CarShare program.
During the 15-day comment period,
the FHWA conducted additional review
but was unable to locate a domestic
manufacturer that could meet a 100
percent domestic steel and iron content
requirement. Based on all the
information available to the agency, the
FHWA concludes that there are no
domestic manufacturers that could meet
a 100 percent domestic steel and iron
content for the Sedan or hatch back
(Driver + 4 passenger capacity) two
