Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice provides NHTSA’s finding that a
waiver of the Buy America requirement,
23 U.S.C. 313, is appropriate for Ohio’s
TSO to purchase printers using grant
funds authorized under 23 U.S.C. 405(c)
(section 405) and its predecessor, 23
U.S.C. 408.1 Section 405(c) funds are
available for use by State highway traffic
safety programs to support the
development and implementation of
effective State programs that, among
other things, improve the timeliness,
accuracy, completeness, uniformity,
integration, and accessibility of State
traffic safety data. 23 U.S.C. 405(c)(1).
Buy America provides that NHTSA
‘‘shall not obligate any funds authorized
to be appropriated to carry out the
Surface Transportation Assistance Act
of 1982 (96 Stat. 2097) or [Title 23] and
administered by the Department of
Transportation, unless steel, iron, and
manufactured products used in such
project are produced in the United
States.’’ 23 U.S.C. 313. However,
NHTSA may waive those requirements
if ‘‘(1) their application would be
inconsistent with the public interest; (2)
such materials and products are not
produced in the United States in
sufficient and reasonably available
quantities and of a satisfactory quality;
or (3) the inclusion of domestic material
will increase the cost of the overall
project contract by more than 25
percent.’’ 23 U.S.C. 313(b). In this
instance, NHTSA has determined that a
non-availability waiver is appropriate
for the printers that Ohio’s TSO seeks to
purchase using Federal grant funds.
Ohio’s TSO seeks a waiver to
purchase 250 Brother Pocket Jet 6 Plus
printer vehicle kits at $468.90 per unit
to be used in Ohio’s mobile ticketing ecitation system and software package as
part of a pilot program.2 Ohio indicates
that it has used the Brother printer in
enforcement vehicles for several years
and it has proven to be a durable mobile
printing device for the type of
environment they are used in and the
applications used by law enforcement.
Ohio’s TSO is unable to identify any
domestically manufactured mobile
printers that meet the requirements
specified for the mobile printers for use
in its enforcement vehicles.3 NHTSA
1 23
U.S.C. 408 was repealed by the Moving
Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP–21)
Act, Public Law 112–141 § 31109(d), 126 Stat. 756
(2012), and recodified at 23 U.S.C. 405(c).
2 As part of its initial request, TSO sought a
waiver for vehicle printer mounts. However, TSO
has withdrawn its waiver request for those items.
3 TSO requires mobile printers that are small
(10.04″ long x 2.17″ width x 1.18″ height), 300 x 300

conducted similar assessments 4 and
was unable to locate domestic
manufacturers of mobile printers with
the specifications required by Ohio’s
TSO. Since a mobile printer that meets
the requirements identified by TSO for
use by its police officers is unavailable
from a domestic manufacturer, the Buy
America waiver is appropriate. NHTSA
invites public comment on this
conclusion.
In light of the above discussion, and
pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 313(b)(2), NHTSA
finds that it is appropriate to grant a
waiver of the Buy America requirement
to TSO in order to purchase 250 Brother
Pocket Jet 6 Plus printer vehicle kits.
This waiver applies to Ohio and all
other States seeking to use section
405(c) and eligible section 408 funds to
purchase 250 Brother Pocket Jet 6 Plus
printer vehicle kits for the purposes
mentioned herein. This waiver will
continue through fiscal year 2015 and
will allow the purchase of these items
as required for Ohio’s TSO.
Accordingly, this waiver will expire at
the conclusion of fiscal year 2015
(September 30, 2015). In accordance
with the provisions of Section 117 of the
Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy of
Users Technical Corrections Act of 2008
(Pub. L. 110–244, 122 Stat. 1572),
NHTSA is providing this notice as its
finding that a waiver of the Buy
America requirement is appropriate for
the Brother Pocket Jet 6 Plus printer
vehicle kits.
Written comments on this finding
may be submitted through any of the
methods discussed above. NHTSA may
reconsider this finding, if through
comment, it learns of additional
relevant information regarding its
decisions to grant and deny TSO’s
waiver request.
This finding should not be construed
as an endorsement or approval of any
products by NHTSA or the U.S.
Department of Transportation. The
United States Government does not
endorse products or manufacturers.
