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 Buy America
waiver is appropriate to use five nondomestic 14″ class 150 cast steel gate
valves for rehabilitation of the Oxbow
Bridge project in the State of Ohio.
In accordance with Division A,
section 122 of the ‘‘Consolidated and
Further Continuing Appropriations Act,
2012’’ (Pub. L. 112–55), the FHWA
published a notice of intent to issue a
waiver on its Web site for five 14″ class
150 cast steel gate valves for
rehabilitation of the Oxbow Bridge
project in the State of Ohio (https://
www.fhwa.dot.gov/construction/
contracts/waivers.cfm?id=86) on March
25th. The FHWA received no comments
in response to the publication. The
Manufacturing Extension Partnership
(MEP)—a program of the U.S.
Department of Commerce National
Institute of Standards and Technology—
conducted a Supplier Scouting analysis
of domestic manufacturing capabilities
and capacity for the production of the
five 14″ class 150 cast steel gate valves
for the bridge rehabilitation project in
the State of Ohio. The MEP identified
some domestic suppliers capable of
casting part of the steel gate valve but
not the complete 14″ class 150 cast steel
gate valve. However, the Ohio
Department of Transportation’s
coordination with these identified
suppliers found that these entities could
not supply the specified product.
During the 15-day comment period, the
FHWA conducted additional
nationwide review to locate potential
domestic manufacturers of the five 14″
class 150 cast steel gate valves. Based on
all the information available to the
agency, the FHWA concludes that there
are no domestic manufacturers of the
five 14″ class 150 cast steel gate valves.

In accordance with the provisions of
section 117 of the SAFETEA–LU
Technical Corrections Act of 2008 (Pub.
L. 110–244, 122 Stat. 1572), the FHWA
is providing this notice as its finding
that a waiver of Buy America
requirements is appropriate. The FHWA
invites public comment on this finding
for an additional 15 days following the
effective date of the finding. Comments
may be submitted to the FHWA’s Web
site via the link provided to the Ohio
waiver page noted above.
