The EPA is hereby granting a waiver of the Buy America requirements of ARRA Section 1605 under the authority of Section 1605(b)(2) [manufactured goods are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities and of a satisfactory quality] to the Town of Sturbridge, Massachusetts (``Town'') for the purchase of a foreign manufactured submersible mixer to be installed in a new septage storage tank as part of a proposed wastewater treatment plant upgrade. This is a project specific waiver and only applies to the use of the specified product for the ARRA project being proposed. Any other ARRA recipient that wishes to use the same product must apply for a separate waiver based on project specific circumstances.

The Assistant Administrator of the Office of Administration and Resources Management has concurred on this decision to make an exception to Section 1605 of ARRA. This action permits the purchase of a foreign manufactured submersible mixer by the Town of Sturbridge, Massachusetts, as specified in its May 25, 2010 request.
