Construction, and Maintenance of SkidResistant Airport Pavement Surfaces to submit a qualifications statement for the system for which they have received FAA approval. The detailed instructions for submitting the qualifications statement, including forms, may be found on the FAA Web site at: https://www.faa.gov/airports/aip/buy

The FAA wants to determine if there is sufficient quantity of FAA-approved domestic manufacturers capable of meeting the FAA technical requirements. If the FAA cannot find that there are a sufficient number of USA manufacturers, it will issue a nationwide waiver to the FAA approved foreign manufacturers.

Technical Requirements: The CFME must have FAA approval indicating that the CFME meets the technical requirements listed in FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5320–12C, Measurement, Construction, and Maintenance of Skid-Resistant Airport Pavement Surfaces. FAA approval is indicated by inclusion in Appendix 4 of the AC. After review, the FAA may issue a nationwide waiver to Buy American Preferences for foreign manufacturers or United States manufacturers that do not meet the Buy American Preference requirements. Waivers will not be issued for manufacturers that do not fully meet the technical requirements. This ‘‘nationwide waiver’’ allows CFME to be used on AIP projects without having to receive separate project waivers. Having a nationwide waiver allows projects to start quickly without having to wait for the Buy American analysis to be completed for every project, while still assuring the funds used for airport projects under the Act are being directed to U.S. manufacturers.

Items that have been granted a ‘‘nationwide waiver’’ can be found on the FAA Web site at: https:// www.faa.gov/airports/aip/buy
