Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 30 / Friday, February 13, 2015 / Notices
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
construction contracts. In this letter,
IDOT asserts that if the manufacturer
‘‘prototype is delivered in time to allow
testing this winter, and the testing is
successful, IDOT commits to using’’ the
domestically produced hinges for the
remaining 250 pedestrian gate
installations. If a functional prototype is
not available for testing, IDOT may need
to install the additional 250 hinges with
the Sure Close hinge. IDOT continues to
assert that use of a self-closing, force
adjustable gate hinge such as the Sure
Close Hinge is essential for maintaining
safe pedestrian grade crossings and that
a similar hinge remains unavailable
from a U.S. source.
After receiving the September 25,
2014 updated waiver request from
IDOT, FRA again provided notice and
an opportunity for comment on its
public Web site, as well as by emailing
the Buy America listserv. FRA received
two comments. One commenter
supported the waiver, while the other
commenter did not support the waiver.
Once again, no commenter identified a
domestic supplier for the hinges.
Based on NIST–MEP’s scouting
report, which did not identify a U.S.
manufacturer that makes the same item,
IDOT’s inability at this time to locate a
domestic gate hinge for pedestrian
crossings meeting IDOT’s safety and
schedule needs, and the fact that the
public did not identify a domestic
source, FRA finds that gate hinges
‘‘produced in the United States are not
of a satisfactory quality.’’ Therefore,
FRA grants a waiver under 49 U.S.C.
§ 24405(a)(2)(B) (goods of a satisfactory
quality are not produced in the United
States).
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 24405(a)(4),
FRA is publishing notice of its decision
to grant IDOT’s waiver request in the
Federal Register and provide notice of
such finding and an opportunity for
public comment after which this waiver
will become effective. FRA expects
IDOT to continue to use its best efforts
to work with the proposed domestic
manufacturer and procure domesticallyproduced hinges for the remaining 250
gate installations.
Question about this letter can be
directed to, John Johnson, AttorneyAdvisor, at john.johnson@dot.gov or
(202) 493–0078.
Sincerely,
Sarah Feinberg
Acting Administrator
Issued in Washington, DC on February 6,
2015.

Chief Counsel.
