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 

1⁄2′′ × 0.008 steel fiber with ultimate 

tensile strength of 290ksi for 

experimental use in Ultra High 

Performance Concrete (UHPC) in 

Oregon and New York. 

DATES: The effective date of the waiver 

is August 23, 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 8 a.m. to 

4:30 p.m., e.t., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal holidays. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 1⁄2′′ × 0.008 steel fiber with 

ultimate tensile strength of 290ksi for 

experimental use in UHPC in Oregon 

and New York. 

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 1⁄2′′ × 0.008 steel fiber with ultimate 

tensile strength of 290ksi for 

experimental use in UHPC in Oregon 

and New York (http:// 

www.fhwa.dot.gov/construction/ 

contracts/waivers.cfm?id=55) on April 

4th. The FHWA received seven 

comments in response to the 

publication. Three commenters opposed 

the waiver request but did not provide 

information about domestic 

manufacturers. Three other commenters 

were in support of the waiver and 

suggested that domestic manufacturers 

of steel fibers should have been in 

production by now. Oregon Department 

of Transportation responded to each 

comment received for this waiver 

request. During the 15-day comment 

period, the FHWA conducted additional 

nationwide review to locate potential 

domestic manufacturers for 1⁄2′′ × 0.008 

steel fiber with ultimate tensile strength 

of 290ksi for experimental use in UHPC 

in Oregon and New York. Based on all 

the information available to the agency, 

the FHWA concludes that there are no 

domestic manufacturers of 1⁄2′′ × 0.008 

steel fiber with ultimate tensile strength 

of 290ksi for experimental use in UHPC 

in Oregon and New York. 

In accordance with the provisions of 

section 117 of the SAFETEA–LU 

Technical Corrections Act of 2008 (Pub.
