to be able to respond to a collection of 

information; search data sources; 

complete and review the collection of 

information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Rubber tire manufacturing. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

41. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

annually, and semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

13,323. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$1,266,476, which includes $1,250,076 

in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, 

and $16,400 in operation and 

maintenance (O&M) costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

increase in the number of affected 

facilities, labor hours, or the number of 

responses compared to the previous 

ICR. 

There is however, an increase in the 

estimated labor burden cost as currently 

identified in the OMB Inventory of 

Approved Burdens. This increase is not 

due to any program change. The change 

in the labor burden cost estimates has 

occurred because we updated the labor 

rates, which resulted in an increase in 

labor costs. There is also an increase of 

$400.00 to the operation and 

maintenance (O&M) costs.

Notice of a Regional Waiver of Section 

1605 (Buy American Requirement) of 

the American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) to 

the City of Astoria (the City), OR 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Regional Administrator 

of EPA Region 10 is hereby granting a 

waiver request from the Buy American 

requirements of ARRA Section 1605 

under the authority of Section 

1605(b)(1) [inconsistent with the public 

interest] to the City for the utilization 

and installation of one (1) Slide Gate in 

the influent control structure and two 

(2) Stop Logs/Guides sets in access 

manholes as part of an overall 

Combined Sewage Overflow (CSO) 

control project. This is a project specific 

waiver and only applies to the use of the 

specified product for the ARRA project 

being proposed. Any other ARRA 

recipient that wishes to use the same 

product must apply for a separate 

waiver based on project specific 

circumstances. The City had the 

contractual obligation of the contractor 

and written verification from the 

manufacturer that the Slide Gate and 

Stop Logs/Guides would comply with 

Buy American requirements and be 

produced in a U.S. facility. However, 

the contractor observed that the Slide 

Gate and Stop Logs/Guides delivered to 

the site for installation had ‘‘Made in 

Canada’’ labeling. The contractor 

confirmed with the manufacturer that 

goods were actually manufactured in 

Canada, not in the U.S., and shipped to 

the project site in error. Due to 

contractual requirements, the contractor 

and manufacturer will absorb the costs 

of the Slide Gate and Stop Logs/Guides. 

Re-ordering the Slide Gate and Stop 

Logs/Guides and having them 

manufactured in a U.S. facility would 

delay project completion by at least nine 

to ten weeks. Of significant note, the 

City has a contractual obligation to the 

Oregon Department of Environmental 

Quality (DEQ) to begin project testing 

and start up by December 1, 2010 in 

order for the completed project to 

properly control CSOs and provide 

water quality protection during the 

typical wet weather associated with 

December and January, when CSOs are 

highest. Based upon information 

submitted by the City, EPA has 

concluded that requiring the installation 

of the domestic manufactured Slide 

Gate and Stop Logs/Guides, which 

would extend the project schedule by at 

least nine to ten weeks, would be 

inconsistent with the public interest, 

and that a waiver of the Buy American 

provisions is justified. The Regional 

Administrator is making this 

determination based on the review and 

recommendations of the Grants and 

Strategic Planning Unit. The Assistant 

Administrator of the Office of 

Administration and Resources 

Management has concurred on this 

decision to make an exception to the 

requirements of Section 1605(a) of 

ARRA. This action allows the 

installation of the foreign manufactured 

Slide Gate and Stop Logs/Guides, as
