DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice to Manufacturers of Alternative 

Fuel Vans 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), U.S. DOT. 

ACTION: Notice to Manufacturers of 

Alternative Fuel Vans. 

SUMMARY: Projects funded under the 

Airport Improvement Program (AIP) 

must meet the requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

50101, Buy American Preferences. The 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

is considering issuing waivers to foreign 

manufacturers of alternative fuel vans. 

This notice requests information from 

manufacturers of alternative fuel vans 

meeting Vehicle 1 Category 

requirements established in the 

Voluntary Airport Low Emission 

Program (VALE) to determine whether a 

waiver to the Buy American Preferences 

should be issued. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Daniel Favarulo, Airports Financial 

Assistance, APP 520, Room 619, FAA, 

800 Independence Avenue SW., 

Washington, DC 20591, Telephone (202) 

267–8826. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

manages a federal grant program for 

airports called the Airport Improvement 

Program (AIP). AIP grant recipients 

must follow 49 U.S.C. 50101, Buy 

American Preferences. Under 49 U.S.C. 

50101(b)(3), the Secretary of 

Transportation may waive the Buy 

American Preference requirement if the 

goods are not produced in a sufficient 

and reasonably available amount or are 

not of a satisfactory quality. 

The purpose of this notice is to 

request foreign as well as domestic 

manufacturers of alternative fuel vans to 

advise the FAA if they manufacture 

vans meeting Vehicle Category 1 

requirements under the FAA’s 

Voluntary Airport Low Emission 

Program (VALE). The detailed 

instructions for submitting the 

qualifications statement, including 

forms, may be found on the FAA Web 

site at: http://www.faa.gov/airports/aip/ 

procurement/ at the Buy American 

Requirements Web page. The FAA 

wants to determine if there is sufficient 

quantity of domestic alternative fuel van 

manufacturers capable of meeting the 

requirements under Vehicle Category 1 

of the FAA’s Voluntary Airport Low 

Emission Program (VALE). If the FAA 

cannot find that there is sufficient 

quantity of domestic manufacturers, it 

will issue a nationwide waiver to the 

foreign manufacturers identified as 

being capable of meeting the Vehicle 

Category 1 requirements. 

Technical Requirements: The FAA’s 

Voluntary Airport Low Emission 

Program (VALE) Technical Report 

Version 7.0 Section 3.1.1, AIP Eligible 

Fuels, defines the eligible alternative 

fuels. In addition, the FAA’s Voluntary 

Airport Low Emission Program (VALE) 

Technical Report Version 7.0, Section 

5.2, defines the requirements for Vehicle 

Category 1. 

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 

equipment to be used on airport projects 

without having to receive separate 

project waivers. Having a nationwide 

waiver allows projects to start quickly
