not believe such a burden would be
significant because the fees would be
charged equally to all Participants that
utilize the applicable Settlement
Services and would merely reflect the
Participants’ related activity at DTC.
Regardless, DTC believes any burden
would be necessary and appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act,
as permitted by Section 17A(b)(3)(I) of
the Act.30
DTC believes any such burden would
be necessary because the proposed fee
increases would better align the fees
with DTC’s associated costs, helping
DTC to achieve and maintain its net
income margin. Meanwhile, DTC also
believes that any such burden would be
appropriate because the fees would
continue to be equitably and reasonably
allocated among all Participants, as
described above.

Notice of Proposed Buy America
Waiver for Battery Electric Minibuses
and Request for Comment
AGENCY:
Federal Transit Administration,
DOT.
Notice of proposed Buy America
waiver and request for comment.
ACTION:
The Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) has received
multiple requests for a Buy America
waiver for battery electric minibuses
based on the non-availability of Buy
America-compliant vehicles. FTA is
proposing a general non-availability
waiver of limited duration for vehicles
in this class that meet certain criteria.
FTA seeks public and industry
comment on whether FTA should grant
the waiver or a modified version of the
waiver.
DATES: Comments must be received by
January 6, 2025. Late-filed comments
will be considered only to the extent
practicable.
SUMMARY:
Please submit all comments

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Jason Pollock, FTA Attorney-Advisor, at
(202) 923–6403 or Jason.Pollock@
dot.gov.
The
purpose of this notice is to seek public
comment on whether FTA should grant
a non-availability waiver for the
procurement of battery electric
minibuses.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under FTA’s Buy America statute,
FTA may obligate funds for a project to
procure rolling stock only if the cost of
components and subcomponents
produced in the United States is more
than 70 percent of the cost of all
components of the rolling stock, and
final assembly of the rolling stock
occurs in the United States. 49 U.S.C.
5323(j)(2)(C). A manufacturer of rolling
stock must submit to pre-award and
post-delivery audits and independent
inspections to verify its compliance
with Buy America. 49 U.S.C. 5323(m).
FTA may waive Buy America for an
item, among other reasons, if a
compliant version is not produced in a
sufficient and reasonably available
amount or is not of a satisfactory
quality. 49 U.S.C. 5323(j)(2)(B) (‘‘nonavailability waiver’’). FTA cannot deny
a request for a non-availability waiver
unless FTA can provide the waiver
applicant with a written certification
that asserts the item is produced in the
United States in a sufficient and
reasonably available amount; the item
produced in the United States is of a
satisfactory quality; and includes a list
of known manufacturers in the United
States from which the item can be
obtained. 49 U.S.C. 5323(j)(6).
In 2023, FTA received 3 applications
on behalf of 16 transit operators for nonavailability waivers to purchase the
Karsan e-Jest battery electric minibus.
The 3 applicants are the Heart of Iowa
Regional Transit Authority on behalf of
10 transit agencies in California, Iowa,
and Washington; the Greater Attleboro
Taunton Regional Transit Authority in
Massachusetts on behalf of 5 transit
agencies in Massachusetts; and Alabama
A&M University. Combined, the 3
applications seek a minimum order of
