BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

Notice of Intent To Grant Buy America 

Waiver to Illinois Department of 

Transportation To Use Three NonDomestic Component Parts, in the 

Incremental Train Control System 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), United States 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of intent to grant Buy 

America waiver. 

SUMMARY: FRA is issuing this notice to 

advise the public that it intends to grant 

the Illinois Department of 

Transportation (‘‘IDOT’’) a waiver from 

FRA’s Buy America requirement for the 

use of three component parts that are 

not produced in the United States for 

the Incremental Train Control System 

(‘‘ITCS’’). The three component parts 

included in IDOT’s waiver request are: 

(1) An ethernet cable; (2) an omni 

directional antenna; and (3) a router/ 

server combination. FRA believes a 

waiver is appropriate because off-theshelf domestically produced 

components meeting the specific 

technical and design needs of the ITCS 

are not available, and custom-designed 

components are not ‘‘reasonably 

available’’ given the short timeframe 

associated with Positive Train Control 

(PTC) implementation and the low 

dollar value of the two components as 

installed on just twenty (20) 

locomotives, and only one router/server 

combination needed for the entire 

project. The total cost of the nondomestically produced components is 

approximately $20,000, out of the $2.5 

million cost for the ITCS. 

DATES: Written comments on FRA’s 

determination to grant IDOT’s Buy 

America waiver request should be 

provided to the FRA on or before March 

19, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Please submit your 

comments by one of the following 

means, identifying your submissions by 

docket number FRA–2012–0033. All 

electronic submissions must be made to
