Re: Buy America Non-Availability Waiver for 

the CashCode BB–10XX, MBB–01XX, MBB–

03XX, MBB–04XX Bill Validators 

Dear Mr. Bielak: 

This letter responds to your October 31, 

2006, request for a Buy America nonavailability waiver for your CashCode BB–

10XX, MBB–01XX, MBB–03XX, MBB–04XX 

Bill Validators (collectively, the ‘‘CashCode 

Bill Validators’’), which are manufactured in 

Canada for use in ticket vending machines.1

For the reasons below, I have determined that 

a non-availability waiver is appropriate here. 

The Buy America Act requires, with few 

exceptions, that all steel, iron and 

manufactured goods used in FTA-funded 

projects be produced in the United States.2

One such exception is that of nonavailability—that in some instances steel, 

iron, and goods produced in the United 

States are not produced in the United States 

in sufficient and reasonably available 

quantities or are not of a satisfactory quality. 

Therefore, Congress authorized FTA to waive 

the above requirement and allow, based on 

non-availability, the use in an FTA-funded 

project of steel, iron or manufactured goods 

produced outside the United States.3

FTA verified non-availability of the 

CashCode Bill Validators by publishing the 

following notice on its Web site—http:// 

www.fta.dot.gov—and the Docket 

Management System Web site—http:// 

www.dms.dot.gov, Docket No. FTA–2006–

26277—and allowing thirty days for public 

comment: 

Crane-CashCode (‘‘CashCode’’) has 

requested a component non-availability 

waiver for its BB–10XX, MBB–01XX, MBB–

03XX, and MBB–04XX Bill Validators 

(collectively, the ‘‘CashCode Bill 

Validators’’), manufactured in Canada for use 

in ticket vending machines. The CashCode 

Bill Validators (U.S. Patent Nos. 6,371,473 

and 6,296,242) are able to accept, validate, 

and mechanically escrow up to twenty 

banknotes of various denominations at a 

time, can store bills in up to three recycling 

canisters to be recycled and dispensed or to 

be routed to a lockable, removable cassette. 

More information about the CashCode Bill 

Validators can be accessed on CashCode’s 

Web site at http://www.cashcode.com. 

CashCode asserts that the CashCode Bill 

Validators, or their functional equivalent, are 

not available from a U.S. source. If granted, 

this waiver would permit ticket vending 

machine manufacturers to install the 

CashCode Bill Validators and count them as 

domestic for purposes of Buy America 

compliance. 

Please note ‘‘CashCode Bill Validators’’ in 

the subject line and submit comments by 

close of business December 8, 2006, to 

jayme.blakesley@dot.gov. For more 

information on Buy America, please see 49 

CFR 661.7(d) and 661.9(d). 

Thirty days have passed since publication 

of the above notice, and no party has 

indicated that a U.S. manufacturer produces 

coin dispensing hoppers in sufficient and 

reasonably available quantities and of a 

satisfactory quality. Therefore, FTA hereby 

grants a non-availability waiver for the 

CashCode Bill Validators for a period of two 

years, or until such time as a domestic source 

for this type of unit becomes available, 

whichever occurs first. This waiver will 

permit ticket vending machine manufacturers 

to install the CashCode Bill Validators and 

count them as domestic for purposes of Buy 

America compliance. 

If you have any questions, please contact 

Jayme L. Blakesley at (202) 366–0304 or 

jayme.blakesley@dot.gov. 

Sincerely, 

David B. Horner, 

Chief Counsel, 

Federal Transit Administration.
