Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 35120-35121 [2016-12730]

Download as PDF sradovich on DSK3TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 35120 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 105 / Wednesday, June 1, 2016 / Notices manufacturers (Waters, AB Sciex and Thermo Fisher Scientific) that produce an instrument that is small enough for two instruments to fit within the FIC laboratory. Second, the GTSC identified four manufacturers that have forensic toxicology packages that are included with the software, that contain preloaded methods that are already developed and are widely used in the toxicology community. According to GTSC, this last feature is critical since it will permit the FIC to communicate with other labs for assistance with methods and troubleshooting, which would save considerable time and resources. GTSC states that Waters, Agilent, AB Sciex and Thermo Fisher Scientific meet its pre-existing methods and transfer methods requirements. NHTSA conducted similar assessments 1 and was unable to locate domestic manufacturers of LC/MS/MS instruments with the specifications required by GTSC. Based upon New York GTSC’s and NHTSA’s analysis, NHTSA is unaware of an LC/MS/MS instrument that is manufactured domestically. Since an LC/MS/MS instrument is unavailable from a domestic manufacturer and the equipment would improve bloodalcohol testing and reporting by increasing detection, reducing drug interference, and increasing processing speed to advance the purpose of 23 U.S.C. 405(d), a Buy America waiver is appropriate. NHTSA invites public comment on this conclusion. We note that NHTSA highway safety grant funds are intended to support traffic safety programs in the States. The goal of the impaired driving countermeasures grant is to have States adopt and implement effective programs to reduce driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or the combination of alcohol and drugs. Activities and equipment fully funded and purchased using NHTSA 405(d) grant funds must be used solely to support this goal. For all funded activities and equipment that have both related and unrelated highway safety grant components, the Federal share is based proportionately on the projected use for the highway safety grant purpose. Therefore, if a State plans to use an item of equipment 50 percent of the time to support its federally funded traffic safety program and 50 percent of the time to support 1 NHTSA conducted internet searches, reviewed manufacturer Web sites, public information, and reviewed several Web sites that catalog domesticmade products (www.usaonly.us; www.americansworking.com; www.madeinamericaforever.com; and www.madeinusa.org) to locate domestically made LC/MS/MS instruments. VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:59 May 31, 2016 Jkt 238001 unrelated state programs, the NHTSA participation cannot exceed 50 percent of the total cost of the equipment. 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 from the Buy America requirements to GTSC in order to purchase a LC/MS/MS instrument. This waiver is effective through fiscal year 2016 and expires at the conclusion of fiscal year 2016 (September 30, 2016). 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 requirements is appropriate for the purchase of a LC/MS/MS instrument. 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 decision to grant the GTSC 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. Authority: 23 U.S.C. 313; Pub. L. 110–161; Pub. L. 110–244.
