Pipeline Safety: Information Collection 

Activities 

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous 

Materials Safety Administration 

(PHMSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

PHMSA invites comments on an 

information collection under Office of

No. 2137–0584, titled ‘‘Gas and 

Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety 

Program Certifications.’’ PHMSA will 

request approval from OMB for a 

revision of the current information 

collection. That revision relates to the 

use of on-line certification media 

containing questions which will 

improve PHMSA’s ability to efficiently 

allocate grant monies to State programs, 

resulting in the creation of additional 

incentives for pipeline safety under the 

State’s jurisdiction. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before 

December 14, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

1320.8(d), Title 5, Code of Federal 

Regulations requires PHMSA to provide 

interested members of the public and 

affected agencies an opportunity to 

comment on information collection and 

recordkeeping requests. This notice 

identifies an information collection 

request that PHMSA is submitting to 

OMB for revision under OMB Control 

No. 2137–0584. This information 

collection is contained in 49 CFR Part 

198. We are proposing to revise this 

information collection to incorporate 

changes to the tools used to determine 

the amount of funds received by each 

participating State. We believe these 

revisions will improve PHMSA’s ability 

to efficiently allocate grant monies to 

States that are currently enhancing or 

seeking to enhance their respective 

programs, thereby resulting in the 

creation of additional incentives for 

pipeline safety under the State’s 

jurisdiction.

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 purchase of foreign 

butterfly valves for a Federal-aid/ 

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act (ARRA) project for the City of 

Colorado Springs, Colorado. 

DATES: The effective date of the waiver 

is October 16, 2009.

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 of such requirements 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 the acquisition 

of butterfly valves for the Woodmen 

Road Corridor Improvement Project in 

the City of Colorado Springs, Colorado. 

Specifically, the City of Colorado 

Springs was not able to find a domestic 

supplier for a 42 inch Vanessa Zero 

Leakage 30,000 Series Butterfly Valve. 

This project is funded under the 

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act of 2009. 

In accordance with the Division I, 

section 126 of the ‘‘Omnibus 

Appropriations Act, 2009’’ (Pub. L. 111– 

8), the FHWA published a notice of 

intent to issue a waiver for the butterfly 

valves (http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ 

construction/contracts/ 

waivers.cfm?id=37) on August 24, 2009. 

The FHWA received one comment in 

response to this notice which suggested 

that the butterfly valves may be 

available domestically. This comment 

was provided by Mr. Edward J. Schutz, 

Director of Sales with the Henry Pratt 

Company. 

Mr. Adam Baker with the City of 

Colorado Springs contacted Mr. Shutz 

with the Henry Pratt Company regarding 

the company’s products and 

conformance with the City of Colorado 

Spring’s design criteria. Both parties 

agreed that the company’s products 

would not meet the project 

specifications. A copy of the City’s 

September 16, 2009, letter to Mr. Schutz 

documenting this conversation and Mr. 

Schutz’s confirmation is available upon 

request. 

During the 15-day comment period, 

the FHWA conducted an additional 

review to locate potential domestic 

manufacturers for the butterfly valves. 

Based on all the information available to 

the agency, the FHWA concludes that 

there are no domestic manufacturers for 

the specified butterfly valves. Thus, the 

FHWA concludes that a Buy America 

waiver is appropriate as provided by 23 

CFR 635.410(c)(1). 

In accordance with the provisions of 

section 117 of the SAFETEA–LU 

Technical Corrections Act of 2008 (Pub. 

L. 110–244, 122 Stat.1572), the 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 City of 

Colorado Springs waiver page noted 

above.
