to these products is inconsistent with
the public interest (23 U.S.C. 313(b)(1)
and 23 CFR 635.410(c)(2)(i)). However,
FHWA believes that it is in the public
interest and consistent with the Buy
America requirements to impose the
condition that the vehicles and the
vehicle components be assembled in the
U.S. Requiring final assembly to be
performed in the U.S. is consistent with
past guidance to FHWA Division Offices
on manufactured products (see
Memorandum on Buy America Policy
Response, Dec. 22, 1997, https://
www.fhwa.dot.gov/programadmin/
contracts/122297.cfm). A waiver of the
Buy America requirement without any
regard to where the vehicle is assembled
would diminish the purpose of the Buy
America requirement. Moreover, in
today’s economic environment, the Buy
America requirement is especially
significant in that it will ensure that
Federal Highway Trust Fund dollars are
used to support and create jobs in the
U.S. This approach is similar to the
conditional waivers previously given for
various vehicle projects. Thus, so long
as the final assembly of the 49 State
projects occurs in the U.S., applicants to
this waiver request may proceed to
purchase these vehicles and equipment
consistent with the Buy America
requirement.
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’’ (P.L. 110–244),
FHWA is providing this notice of its
finding that a public interest waiver of
Buy America requirements is
appropriate on the condition that the
vehicles and equipment identified in
the notice be assembled in the U.S. The
FHWA invites public comment on this
finding for an additional 15 days
following the effective date of the
finding. Comments may be submitted to
FHWA’s Web site via the link provided
to the waiver page noted above.
