ACTION: Correction to Notice of Buy
America Waiver
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
AGENCY:
On September 16, 2014,
NHTSA published a Notice of Buy
America Waiver that provided findings
to requests from the Michigan Office of
Highway Safety Planning (OHSP) to
waive the requirements of Buy America.
The Notice stated an effective date of
October 16, 2014. However, that date
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:17 Oct 03, 2014
Jkt 235001
did not correctly reflect NHTSA’s
intentions for the effective date. Also,
the Notice did not accurately cite the
appropriate section of the United States
Code for motorcyclist safety grant funds,
23 U.S.C. 405(f). This document corrects
those errors.
DATES: The effective date of this
correction is the date of publication
October 6, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
program issues, contact Barbara Sauers,
Office of Regional Operations and
Program Delivery, NHTSA (phone: 202–
366–0144). For legal issues, contact
Andrew DiMarsico, Office of Chief
Counsel, NHTSA (phone: 202–366–
5263). You may send mail to these
officials at National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
September 16, 2014, NHTSA published
a Notice of Buy America Waiver that
provided findings in regards to five
requests from the Michigan Office of
Highway Safety Planning (OHSP) to
waive the requirements of Buy America.
In summary, NHTSA found the
following:
• A waiver of the Buy America
requirements, 23 U.S.C. 313, was
appropriate for OHSP to purchase a
portable data projector, wireless remote
control presenter, DVDs, high-visibility
motorcycle vests and twenty training
motorcycles.
• A non-availability waiver of the
Buy America requirements was
inappropriate for OHSP to lease a
copy/printer/fax machine.
Need for Correction
The Notice of Buy America Waiver
stated the waiver was effective on
October 16, 2014. This date did not
correctly state NHTSA’s intentions. On
September 16, 2014, at 79 FR 55529,
NHTSA intended the waiver to be
effective on an earlier date in order to
allow the grantee an opportunity to
purchase the items requested. Also, the
Notice did not accurately cite the
appropriate section of the United States
Code for motorcyclist safety grant funds.
The Notice cited to 23 U.S.C. 405(g), but
NHTSA intended to cite 23 U.S.C. 405(f)
for motorcyclist safety grant funds.
In FR Doc. 2014–0090 appearing on
page 55529 of the Federal Register of
Tuesday, September 16, 2014, the
following corrections are made:
In the DATES section in the left
