[Federal Register Volume 80, Number 99 (Friday, May 22, 2015)] [Notices] [Page 29790] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2015-12456] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Highway Administration Buy America Waiver Notification AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT. ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This notice provides information regarding the FHWA's finding that a Buy America waiver is appropriate for the use of non-domestic Cargo Cranes with minimum capacity of 92.5 US tons for Cleveland- Cuyahoga Ports Authority in the State of Ohio. DATES: The effective date of the waiver is May 26, 2015. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions about this notice, please contact Mr. Gerald Yakowenko, FHWA Office of Program Administration, (202) 366-1562, or via email at [email protected]. For legal questions, please contact Mr. Jomar Maldonado, FHWA Office of the Chief Counsel, (202) 366-1373, or via email at [email protected]. Office hours for the FHWA are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., e.t., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Electronic Access An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded from the Federal Register's home page at: http://www.archives.gov and the Government Publishing Office's database at: http://www.access.thefederalregister.org/nara. 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 the FHWA's finding that a Buy America waiver is appropriate for use of non-domestic Cargo Cranes with minimum capacity of 92.5 US tons for Cleveland-Cuyahoga Ports Authority in the State of Ohio. In accordance with Division K, section 122 of the ``Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015'' (Pub. L. 113-235), the FHWA published a notice of intent to issue a waiver on its Web site for non-domestic Cargo Cranes (http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/construction/contracts/waivers.cfm?id=105) on March 11. The FHWA received no comments in response to the publication. During the 15-day comment period, FHWA conducted additional review to locate potential domestic manufacturers of Cargo Cranes that meet the project specifications. Based on all the information available to the agency, FHWA concludes that there are no domestic manufacturers of the Cargo Cranes that meet the specifications for Cleveland-Cuyahoga Ports Authority. 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 the FHWA's Web site via the link provided to the Ohio waiver page noted above. (Authority: 23 U.S.C. 313; Pub. L. 110-161, 23 CFR 635.410) Issued on: May 8, 2015.
