Buy America Waiver Notification, 7187 [2016-02655]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 27 / Wednesday, February 10, 2016 / Notices in interpreting the noise exposure maps to resolve questions concerning, for example, which properties should be covered by the provisions of section 47506 of the Act. These functions are inseparable from the ultimate land use control and planning responsibilities of local government. These local responsibilities are not changed in any way under part 150 or through FAA’s review of noise exposure maps. Therefore, the responsibility for the detailed overlaying of noise exposure contours onto the map depicting properties on the surface rests exclusively with the airport operator that submitted those maps, or with those public agencies and planning agencies with which consultation is required under section 47503 of the Act. The FAA has relied on the certification by the airport operator, under section 150.21 of part 150, that the statutorily required consultation has been accomplished. Copies of the full noise exposure map documentation and of the FAA’s evaluation of the maps are available for examination at the following locations: Federal Aviation Administration, Western-Pacific Region, Airports Division, 15000 Aviation Boulevard, Room 3012, Hawthorne, California 90261. Federal Aviation Administration, San Francisco Airports District Office, 1000 Marina Boulevard, Suite 220, Brisbane, California 94005–1835. San Francisco International Airport, Bureau of Planning and Environmental Affairs, Attention: Audrey Park, Senior Environmental Planner, 710 North McDonnell Road, 3rd Floor, San Francisco, California 94128. Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the heading FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Issued in Hawthorne, California on January 29, 2016. Mark A. McClardy, Manager, Airports Division, AWP–600, Western-Pacific Region.

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 FHWA's finding that a Buy America waiver is 
appropriate for use of a non-domestic Ferryboat Propulsion System 
(propeller, shafting, and reducing gear) for MV Matanuska ferry in the 
State of Alaska.
    In accordance with Division K, section 122 of the ``Consolidated 
and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2015'' (PL 113-235), FHWA 
published a notice of intent to issue a waiver on its Web site (https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/construction/contracts/waivers.cfm?id=116) on 
December 8, 2015. The FHWA received no comments in response to the 
publication. Based on all the information available to the agency, FHWA 
concludes that there are no domestic manufacturers of Ferryboat 
Propulsion System (propeller, shafting, and reducing gear).
    In accordance with the provisions of section 117 of the Safe, 
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy 
for Users, Technical Corrections Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-244, 122 
Stat. 1572), FHWA is providing this notice as its finding that a waiver 
of Buy America requirements is appropriate. The FHWA invites public
