could meet all of the project 

specifications. 

Furthermore, the purpose of the 

ARRA provisions was to stimulate 

economic recovery by funding current 

infrastructure construction, not to delay 

projects that are already shovel ready by 

requiring entities, like the Utility, to 

revise their design and potentially 

choose a more costly and less effective 

project. The implementation of ARRA 

Buy American requirements on such 

projects eligible for DWSRF assistance 

would result in unreasonable delay and 

thus displace the ‘‘shovel ready’’ status 

for this project. To further delay 

construction is in direct conflict with 

the most fundamental economic 

purposes of ARRA, to create or retain 

jobs. 

The Drinking Water Unit has 

reviewed this waiver request and has 

determined that the supporting 

documentation provided by the Utility 

is sufficient to meet the following 

criteria listed under Section 1605(b) and 

in the April 28, 2009, Implementation of 

Buy American provisions of Public Law 

111–5, the ‘‘American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009’’ 

Memorandum: Iron, steel, and the 

manufactured goods are not produced in 

the United States in sufficient and 

reasonably available quantities and of a 

satisfactory quality. The basis for this 

project waiver is the authorization 

provided in Section 1605(b)(2), due to 

the lack of production of this product in 

the United States in sufficient and 

reasonably available quantities and of a 

satisfactory quality in order to meet the 

Utility’s design specifications. 

The March 31, 2009 Delegation of 

Authority Memorandum provided 

Regional Administrators with the 

authority to issue exceptions to Section 

1605 of ARRA within the geographic 

boundaries of their respective regions 

and with respect to requests by 

individual assistance recipients. Having 

established both a proper basis to 

specify the particular good required for 

this project, and, that this manufactured 

good was not available from a 

manufacturer in the United States, the 

Utility is hereby granted a waiver from 

the Buy American requirements of 

Section 1605(a) of Public Law 111–5 for 

the purchase of a magnetic flow meter, 

manufactured in Mexico, for the 

distribution system improvement 

project specified in the Utility’s waiver 

request of July 27, 2011. This 

supplementary information constitutes 

the detailed written justification 

required by Section 1605(c) for waivers 

based on a finding under subsection (b). 

Authority: Public Law 111–5, section 

1605.
