reasonably available quantity as ‘‘the 

quantity of iron, steel, or relevant 

manufactured good is available or will 

be available at the time needed and 

place needed, and in the proper form or 

specification as specified in the project 

plans and design.’’ The Town has 

incorporated specific technical design 

requirements for installation of filter 

media at their three Well Houses. 

The purpose of the ARRA is to 

stimulate economic recovery in part by 

funding current infrastructure 

construction, not to delay projects that 

are ‘‘shovel ready’’ by requiring utilities, 

such as the Town, to revise their 

standards and specifications, institute a 

new bidding process, and potentially 

choose a more costly, less efficient 

project. The imposition of ARRA Buy 

American requirements on such projects 

otherwise eligible for State Revolving 

Fund assistance would result in 

unreasonable delay and thus displace 

the ‘‘shovel ready’’ status for this project. 

To further delay construction is in 

direct conflict with a fundamental 

economic purpose of the ARRA, which 

is to create or retain jobs. The OIA has 

reviewed this waiver request and to the 

best of our knowledge at the time of 

review has determined that the 

supporting documentation provided by 

the Town is sufficient to meet the 

criteria listed under Section 1605(b) and 

in the April 28, 2009, ‘‘Implementation 

of Buy American provisions of Public 

Law 111–5, the ‘American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009’ 

Memorandum:’’ Iron, steel, and the 

manufactured goods are not produced in 

the United States in sufficient and 

reasonably available quantities and of a 

satisfactory quality. The basis for this 

project waiver is the authorization 

provided in Section 1605(b)(2). Due to 

the lack of production of this product in 

the United States in sufficient and 

reasonably available quantities and of a 

satisfactory quality in order to meet the 

Town’s technical specifications, a 

waiver from the Buy American 

requirement is justified. 

The March 31, 2009 Delegation of 

Authority Memorandum provided 

Regional Administrators with the 

authority to issue exceptions to Section 

1605 of ARRA within the geographic 

boundaries of their respective regions 

and with respect to requests by 

individual grant recipients. 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, the Town of 

Smyrna is hereby granted a waiver from 

the Buy American requirements of 

Section 1605(a) of Public Law 111–5 for 

the purchase of GreensandPlus filter 

media using ARRA funds as specified in 

the Town of Smyrna’s request of 

October 1, 2010. This supplementary 

information constitutes the detailed 

written justification required by Section 

1605(c) for waivers ‘‘based on a finding 

under subsection (b).’’
