**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 Non Domestic 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 awaiver 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 entireproject. 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 the U.S. Government electronic site at http://www.regulations.gov
