available quantity as ‘‘the quantity of 

iron, steel, or relevant manufactured 

good that 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 same 

Memorandum defines ‘‘satisfactory 

quality’’ as ‘‘the quality of steel, iron or 

manufactured good specified in the 

project plans and designs.’’ 

Furthermore, the purpose of the 

ARRA is to stimulate economic recovery 

by funding current infrastructure 

construction, not to delay projects that 

are already ‘‘shovel ready’’ by requiring 

potential SRF eligible recipients such as 

the HSC to revise their design standards 

and specifications. The imposition of 

ARRA Buy American requirements in 

this case would result in unreasonable 

delay for this project. To delay this 

construction would directly conflict 

with a fundamental economic purpose 

of ARRA, which is to create or retain 

jobs. 

The Municipal Assistance Unit (CMU) 

has reviewed this waiver request and 

has determined that the supporting 

documentation provided by the HSC 

established both a proper basis to 

specify the particular good required and 

that this manufactured good was not 

available from a producer in the United 

States able to meet the design 

specifications for the proposed project. 

The information provided is sufficient 

to meet the following criteria listed 

under Section 1605(b) of the ARRA and 

in the April 28, 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 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 HSC is hereby granted a waiver from 

the Buy American requirements of 

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

the purchase and use of the specified 

polyethylene Biofilm chip carrier 

element (media) documented in HSC’s 

waiver request submittal dated May 19, 

2009, for its proposed wastewater 

treatment plant upgrade using ARRA 

funds. This supplementary information 

constitutes the detailed written 

justification required by Section 1605(c) 

for waivers based on a finding under 

subsection (b). 

Authority: Public Law 111–5, section 1605. 

Dated: July 29, 2009.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region I, New
