Download as PDF 45938 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 102 / Friday, May 24, 2024 / Notices proposed waiver, FRA explained that the Project is expected to support approximately 35,000 domestic jobs across the construction period and includes a project labor agreement. As noted in the proposed waiver, Brightline West has reached an agreement with rail labor which may result in ongoing operations and maintenance work being performed by union labor.11 D. Comments Generally Supporting or Opposing the Proposed Waiver FRA received 527 comments from the public generally in favor of the issuance of the waiver. Additionally, several commenters noted that the completion of a high-speed rail project could increase domestic manufacturing and help reduce the need for waivers in the future. FRA received 29 comments from the public generally opposing the proposed waiver and emphasizing the need to develop domestic manufacturing in the high-speed rail industry. FRA Response: FRA appreciates these comments and expects that the successful deployment of high-speed rail technology in the United States will facilitate and encourage domestic manufacturing capacity to meet increased demand. FRA further clarifies that the proposed waiver was narrowly tailored and limited to include only those components that are not produced in the United States, and the waiver is limited only to the Project and does not apply to other projects or project sponsors. VIII. Final Waiver Based on its review of the waiver request and DSWP, and in consideration of comments received on the proposed waiver, FRA is waiving its Buy America requirements for the following components: • First Two Complete Trainsets; and • Car Shells for All 10 Trainsets (shell structure, frame, vehicle paintwork). • Eurobalises and Euroloops; • Counting Heads and Axle Counter Sensors; • Truck Press (test stand); • Turnout Systems including Derailers; and • Fire Alarm Systems. The waiver applies only to components listed above for use in the Project. However, FRA concludes that Alstom’s proposal would have also met the criteria for a waiver if Brightline West had selected Alstom. FRA is not waiving any applicable requirements under BABA, and the waiver does not apply to any construction materials used in the Project. The waiver does not apply to other FRA recipients or to other grants that might be made to NDOT or Brightline West for other projects (including any future phases related to the Project). This waiver will expire upon the end of the period of performance and closeout of the grant agreement for the Project. Issued in Washington, DC. Amitabha Bose, Administrator.

NIST–MEP Supplier Scouting Results Consistent with section 70916(c) of BABA, FRA requested that the project sponsor, Brightline West, engage with the NIST–MEP through the NIST–MEP’s supplier scouting program. The NIST– MEP supplier scouting opportunity allows agencies, manufacturers, and project sponsors to identify potential manufacturers from across the Nation to assist in market research on domestic availability. Brightline West was not able to identify a domestic manufacturer for the components listed in the proposed waiver through the NIST–MEP supplier scouting program. This further supports FRA’s conclusion that the components listed in the proposed waiver are not produced in the United States. 11 In March 2023, 13 rail unions representing more than 160,000 workers signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Brightline West, establishing a commitment for the use of highly skilled union labor required to operate and maintain the System.
