Notice of a Project Waiver of Section 1605 (Buy American Requirement) of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) to the Bayonne Municipal Utilities Authority, Bayonne, NJ
The EPA is hereby granting a project waiver of the Buy American 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 Bayonne Municipal Utilities Authority, New Jersey (Authority), for the purchase of a foreign manufactured wind turbine generator that meets the Authority's design and performance specifications, which is to be installed at its existing Oak Street Pumping Station site. 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 project that may wish to use the same product must apply for a separate waiver based on project specific circumstances. Based upon information submitted by the Authority and its consulting engineer, EPA has concluded that there are currently no domestic manufactured wind turbines available in sufficient and reasonable quantity and of a satisfactory quality to meet the Authority's project design and performance specifications, and that a waiver is justified. The Regional Administrator is making this determination based on the review and recommendations of the State Revolving Fund Program Team. The Assistant Administrator of the Office of Administration and Resources Management has concurred on this decision to make an exception to Section 1605(a) of ARRA. This action permits the purchase of foreign manufactured wind turbine generator by the Authority, as specified in its December 15, 2010 waiver request.

EPA has determined that the Rome, Georgia, fine particulate (PM2.5) nonattainment area (hereafter referred to as ``the Rome Area'' or ``Area'') has attained the 1997 annual average PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS).

The requirements for the Area to submit an attainment demonstration and associated reasonably available control measures (RACM), a reasonable further progress (RFP) plan, contingency measures, and other planning State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions related to attainment of the standard shall be suspended so long as the Area continues to attain the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS.
