Buy America Waiver Notification
Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice provides
information regarding FHWA’s finding
that a Buy America waiver is
appropriate for the procurement of a
John Deere 640R Standard Farm Loader
for recreational trail maintenance by the
St. Marys Area Snowmobile Association
(through the Pennsylvania Department
of Conservation and Natural Resources)
because the equipment is not available
to be produced using 100 percent
domestic steel or iron.
DATES: The effective date of the waiver
is October 11, 2017.

An electronic copy of this document

Register’s home page at: https://
www.archives.gov and the Government
Publishing Office’s database at: https://

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 a John Deere
640R Standard Farm Loader for
recreational trail maintenance by the St.
Marys Area Snowmobile Association in
Pennsylvania because this equipment is
not available to be produced by
domestic manufacturers using 100
percent domestic steel or iron.
Consistent with the Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2017 (Pub. L.
115–31), FHWA published a notice on
its Web site, https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/
construction/contracts/waivers.cfm?
id=148 on March 22 seeking comments
on whether a waiver of Buy America
requirements is appropriate. The FHWA
received no comments in response to
the publication. Both the St. Marys Area
Snowmobile Association and
Pennsylvania Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources
were unable to verify that equipment
meeting its specifications could be
produced by domestic manufacturers.
The applicant requires and all-terrain,
all-season, medium frame tractor to pull
snow grooming equipment and clear the
trail of vegetation. The applicant could
not locate a domestically manufactured
model of all season, medium frame
tractors that can accommodate its
existing snow grooming equipment. The
FHWA also contacted a potential
domestic manufacturer and a domestic
vendor to verify whether the subject
materials or a suitable substitute were
reasonably available. Based on all the
information available to the agency,
FHWA concludes that there are no
domestic manufacturers of a John Deere

640R Standard Farm Loader for
recreational trail maintenance by the St.
Marys Area Snowmobile Association in
Pennsylvania for which all its iron and
steel is domestically manufactured.
The St. Marys Area Snowmobile
Association, the Pennsylvania
Department of Conservation and Natural
Resources, Pennsylvania DOT,
contractors, and subcontractors
involved in the procurement of John
Deere 640R are reminded of the need to
comply with the Cargo Preference Act in
46 CFR part 38, if applicable.
In accordance with the provisions of
section 117 of the SAFETEA–LU
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 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.

George Stevens, Office of Vehicle Safety
Compliance, NHTSA (202–366–5308).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a
motor vehicle that was not originally
manufactured to conform to all
applicable FMVSS shall be refused
admission into the United States unless
NHTSA has decided that the motor
vehicle is substantially similar to a
motor vehicle originally manufactured
for importation into and sale in the
United States, certified as required
under 49 U.S.C. 30115, and of the same
model year as the model of the motor
vehicle to be compared, and is capable
of being readily altered to conform to all
applicable FMVSS.
Petitions for eligibility decisions may
be submitted by either manufacturers or
importers who have registered with
NHTSA pursuant to 49 CFR part 592. As
specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA
publishes notice in the Federal Register
of each petition that it receives, and
affords interested persons an
opportunity to comment on the petition.
At the close of the comment period,
NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has
received, whether the vehicle is eligible
for importation. The agency then
publishes this decision in the Federal
Register.
G&K Automotive Conversion, Inc., of
Santa Ana, CA (G&K) (Registered
Importer #RI–90–007), petitioned
NHTSA to decide whether MY 2010
Lamborghini Murcielago PCs are eligible
for importation into the United States.

NHTSA’s Conclusions
NHTSA has reviewed the petition and
has concluded that the vehicles covered
by the petition are substantially similar
to MY 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago
PCs and are capable of being readily
altered to comply with all applicable
FMVSS.
NHTSA has also concluded that each
RI who imports and modifies one of
these vehicles must include in the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
statement of conformity and associated
documents (‘‘conformity package’’) it
submits to the NHTSA under 49 CFR
part 592.6(d) explicit proof to confirm
that the vehicle was, where applicable,
originally manufactured to conform to,
or was successfully altered to conform
to, FMVSS No. 101 Controls and
Displays, FMVSS No. 138, Tire Pressure
Monitoring Systems, FMVSS No. 208,
Occupant Crash Protection, and FMVSS
No. 301 Fuel System Integrity. This
proof must include detailed
descriptions of all modifications made,
including a detailed description of
systems in place (if any) on the vehicle
as delivered to the RI, and a similarly
detailed description of alterations made
to the vehicle and said systems,
including photographs of all required
labeling. The descriptions must also
include parts assembly diagrams and
associated part numbers for all
components that were removed from or
installed in the vehicle, an accounting
of any computer programming
modifications undertaken and a
description of how compliance was
verified after alteration of the vehicle.
In addition to the information
specified above, each conformity
package must also include evidence
showing how the RI verified that the
changes it made in loading or
reprograming vehicle software to
achieve conformity with each separate
FMVSS, did not also cause the vehicle
to fall out of compliance with any other
applicable FMVSS.
Decision
Accordingly, on the basis of the
foregoing, NHTSA hereby decides that
MY 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago
passenger cars that were not originally
manufactured to comply with all
applicable FMVSS, are substantially
similar to MY 2010 Lamborghini
Murcielago passenger cars
manufactured for importation into and/
or sale in the United States, and
certified under 49 U.S.C. 30115, and are
capable of being readily altered to
conform to all applicable Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards.
Vehicle Eligibility Number for Subject
Vehicles
The importer of a vehicle admissible
under any final decision must indicate
on the form HS–7 accompanying entry
the appropriate vehicle eligibility
number indicating that the vehicle is
eligible for entry. VSP–595 is the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a motor vehicle that was not
originally manufactured to conform to all applicable FMVSS shall be
refused admission into the United States unless NHTSA has decided that
the motor vehicle is substantially similar to a motor vehicle
originally manufactured for importation into and sale in the United
States, certified as required under 49 U.S.C. 30115, and of the same
model year as the model of the motor vehicle to be compared, and is
capable of being readily altered to conform to all applicable FMVSS.
Petitions for eligibility decisions may be submitted by either
manufacturers or importers who have registered with NHTSA pursuant to
49 CFR part 592. As specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA publishes notice
in the Federal Register of each petition that it receives, and affords
interested persons an opportunity to comment on the petition. At the
close of the comment period, NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has received, whether the vehicle is
eligible for importation. The agency then publishes this decision in
the Federal Register.
G&K Automotive Conversion, Inc., of Santa Ana, CA (G&K) (Registered

NHTSA's Conclusions
NHTSA has reviewed the petition and has concluded that the vehicles
covered by the petition are substantially similar to MY 2010

was, where applicable, originally manufactured to conform to, or was
successfully altered to conform to, FMVSS No. 101 Controls and
Displays, FMVSS No. 138, Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems, FMVSS No.
208, Occupant Crash Protection, and FMVSS No. 301 Fuel System
Integrity. This proof must include detailed descriptions of all

conformity with each separate FMVSS, did not also cause the vehicle to
fall out of compliance with any other applicable FMVSS.
Decision
Accordingly, on the basis of the foregoing, NHTSA hereby decides
that MY 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago passenger cars that were not
originally manufactured to comply with all applicable FMVSS, are
substantially similar to MY 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago passenger cars
