the ARRA recipient or loss on behalf of 

the government, then EPA will still 

consider granting a waiver. 

In this case, there are no U.S. 

manufacturers that meet Lake County’s 

project specification for these check 

valves capable of performing under high 

pressure. Due to a delay in the 

construction of this project, Lake 

County was not made aware that there 

are no domestic equivalents for the 

valves in question until well after the 

contract was signed. There is no 

indication that Lake County failed to 

request a waiver in order to avoid the 

requirements of the ARRA, particularly 

since there are no domestically 

manufactured products available that 

meet the project specifications. EPA will 

consider Lake County’s waiver request, 

a foreseeable late request, as though it 

had been timely made since there is no 

gain by Lake County and no loss by the 

government due to the late request. 

Furthermore, the purpose of the 

ARRA is to stimulate economic recovery 

by funding current infrastructure 

construction, not to delay shovel ready 

projects by requiring entities, like Lake 

County, to revise their design and 

potentially choose a more costly and 

less efficient project. The imposition of 

ARRA Buy American requirements on 

such projects eligible for CWSRF 

assistance would result in unreasonable 

delay and thus displace the ‘‘shovel 

ready’’ status for this project. Further 

delay of this project would contravene 

the most fundamental economic 

purposes of the ARRA: To create or 

preserve jobs in the United States. 

EPA Region 9’s Water Division and 

Office of Regional Counsel, EPA’s Buy 

American consultant, and EPA’s Office 

of Administration and Resource 

Management have reviewed this waiver 

request and have determined the 

supporting documentation provided by 

Lake County is sufficient to meet the 

criteria listed under ARRA Section 

1605(b)(2) and the EPA April 28, 2009, 

memorandum for implementation of 

ARRA Buy American provisions of 

Public Law 111–5. 

Having established both a proper 

basis to specify the particular good 

required for this project, and that this 

manufactured good was not available 

from a producer in the United States, 

Lake County is hereby granted a waiver 

from the Buy American requirements of 

Sections 1605(a) of Public Law 111–5, 

for the purchase of Noreva V625 nonslam check valves, specified in Lake 

County’s request of June 8, 2010. This 

supplementary information constitutes 

the detailed written justification 

required by Section 1605(c) for waivers 

based on a finding under Section 

1605(b)(2). 

Authority: Public Law 111–5, Section 

1605.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 7, 2010, in document DA– 

2320, Chairman Julius Genachowski 

announced the establishment and 

appointment of members of the 

VPEAAC, following a nominations 

period that closed on November 1, 2010. 

This Committee is established in 

accordance with the Twenty-First 

Century Communications and Video 

Accessibility Act of 2010, Public Law 

111–260 (‘‘Communications and Video 

Accessibility Act’’ or ‘‘CVAA’’). To avoid 

confusion with the Emergency Access 

Advisory Committee (a second 

committee created under the CVAA), 

the Video Programming and Emergency 

Access Advisory Committee will 

commonly be referred to as the Video 

Programming Accessibility Advisory 

Committee (VPAAC). All meetings of 

the VPAAC shall be open to the public. 

Its purpose is to develop 

recommendations on closed captioning 

of Internet programming previously 

captioned on television; the 

compatibility between video 

programming delivered using Internet 

protocol and devices capable of 

receiving and displaying such 

programming in order to facilitate 

access to captioning, video description 

and emergency information; video 

description and accessible emergency 

information on television programming 

delivered using Internet protocol or 

digital broadcast television; accessible 

user interfaces on video programming 

devices; and accessible programming 

guides and menus. Within six (6) 

months of its first meeting, the VPAAC 

shall submit recommendations 

concerning the provision of closed 

captions for Internet-delivered video 

programming and the ability of video 

devices to pass through closed captions 

contained on Internet-based video 

programming. By April 8, 2012, the 

VPAAC shall submit recommendations 

on the remaining issues listed above. At 

the VPAAC’s first meeting, the 

Committee will be divided into four 

working groups, each of which will be 

assigned specific tasks related to the 

Committee’s purposes. 

The Chairman of the Commission is 

appointing forty-five (45) members of 

the VPAAC. Of this number, ten (10) 

represent interests of persons with 

disabilities; six (6) represent interests of 

closed captioning and video description 

providers; eleven (11) represent device 

manufacturers; four (4) represent 

Internet and software companies; two 

(2) represent broadcasters; and twelve 

(12) represent video programming 

distributors and providers. The 

VPAAC’s membership meets the 

CVAA’s goals of assembling a 

Committee that has the technical 

knowledge and engineering experience 

needed to meet the tasks assigned. All 

appointments are effective immediately 

and shall terminate December 7, 2012, 

or when the Committee is terminated, 

whichever is earlier.
