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 

(1) Galvanized ground bushing (3⁄4′′–4′′) 

for electrical systems; (2) Form 5/Form 

7 conduit body assembly (1.5′′, 2′′); and 

(3) sealing locknuts (1.5′′, 2′′), for 

Federal-aid project #X–STP–5900 (212), 

South Auditorium lighting, phase 1, in 

Portland, Oregon. 

DATES: The effective date of the waiver 

is August 16, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

questions about this notice, please 

contact Mr. Gerald Yakowenko, FHWA 

Office of Program Administration, (202) 

366–1562, or via e-mail at 

gerald.yakowenko@dot.gov. For legal 

questions, please contact Mr. Michael 

Harkins, FHWA Office of the Chief 

Counsel, (202) 366–4928, or via e-mail 

at michael.harkins@dot.gov. Office 

hours for the FHWA are from 7:45 a.m. 

to 4:15 p.m., e.t., Monday through 

Friday, except Federal holidays.

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 

Printing Office’s database at: http:// 

www.access.gpo.gov/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 to use nondomestic (1) Galvanized ground bushing 

(3⁄4′′–4′′) for electrical systems; (2) Form 

5/Form 7 conduit body assembly (1.5′′, 

2′′); and (3) sealing locknuts (1.5′′, 2′′), 

for Federal-aid project #X–STP– 

5900(212), South Auditorium lighting, 

phase 1, in Portland, Oregon. 

In accordance with Division A, 

section 123 of the ‘‘Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2010’’ (Pub. L. 111– 

117), the FHWA published a notice of 

intent to issue a waiver on its Web site 

for (1) Galvanized ground bushing (3⁄4′′– 

4′′) for electrical systems; (2) Form 5/ 

Form 7 conduit body assembly (1.5′′, 

2′′); and (3) Sealing Locknuts (1.5′′, 2′′) 

for the Federal-aid project in Oregon 

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

contracts/waivers.cfm?id=52) on 

January 10th. The FHWA received six 

comments in response to the 

publication. Four comments opposed 

the approval of the waiver request but 

did not suggest any domestic 

manufacturer of the galvanized ground 

bushing (3⁄4′′–4′′), Form 5/Form 7 

conduit body assembly (1.5′′, 2′′), or 

sealing locknuts (1.5′′, 2′′). One 

commenter supported granting the 

waiver, and the sixth commenter did 

not express support or opposition 

toward the waiver. During the 15-day 

comment period, the FHWA conducted 

additional nationwide review to locate 

potential domestic manufacturers for 

galvanized ground bushing (3⁄4′′–4′′), 

Form 5/Form 7 conduit body assembly 

(1.5′′, 2′′), and sealing locknuts (1.5′′, 2′′). 

Based on all the information available to 

the agency, the FHWA concludes that 

there are no domestic manufacturers of 

galvanized ground bushing (3⁄4′′–4′′), 

Form 5/Form 7 conduit body assembly 

(1.5′′, 2′′), and sealing locknuts (1.5′′, 2′′) 

for the Federal-aid project #X–STP– 

5900(212). 

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 Oregon 

waiver page noted above.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

Regulatory Guidance Concerning 

Household Goods Carriers Requiring 

Shippers To Sign Blank or Incomplete 

Documents 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Regulatory Guidance. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Motor Carrier 

Safety Administration (FMCSA) issues 

regulatory guidance to clarify the 

appropriate and intended use of blank 

or incomplete documents under 49 CFR 

375.501(d). Carriers may require 

shippers to sign incomplete, but not 

blank, documents so long as the omitted 

information is limited to: (1) The actual 

weight of the shipment, in the case of 

non-binding estimates; and (2) 

unforeseen charges incurred in transit. 

This guidance also clarifies that carriers 

may not require shippers to sign 

‘‘Revised Written Estimates,’’ 

‘‘Rescissions of Old Estimate,’’ or other 

documents authorizing the carrier to 

rescind an estimate unless the shipper 

and carrier mutually agree to amend the 

estimate, and the shipper signs a new 

estimate before the carrier loads the 

shipment. 

DATES: Effective date: This regulatory 

guidance is effective on August 15, 

2011.
