turnout with a special EN60E1A1 

switch point section. The proper 

operation of the switch is essential for 

the continued, safe operations of DTC 

vehicles. DTC previously sought and 

received a Buy America waiver from 

FTA for two replacement switches from 

Delta Railroad Construction, Inc. (Delta) 

on April 19, 2016 (81 FR 23077). 

On January 19, 2023, DTC issued a 

request for proposals (RFP) (No. 1–19– 

2023, for DTC Sub-Package 7), which 

includes the special track switch 

described above, and received two 

responses. Both bidders certified that 

the switches they could provide would 

not comply with the FTA Buy America 

requirements. Following the RFP, DTC 

submitted a nonavailability waiver 

request to FTA for the non-compliant 

switch components. 49 U.S.C. 5323(j)(2) 

and 49 CFR 661.7(c)(2). 

The product that requires a waiver is 

one pair of EN60E1A1 switch point rails 

and all appurtenances associated with 

its installation; four transition head 

machined rails for connection to frog 

and turnout rails; and one set of switch 

point rods consisting of two drive rods 

and two detector rods. FTA estimates 

the total cost of goods subject to this 

proposed waiver is less than $300,000. 

Proposed Waiver and Request for 

Comments 

On September 9, 2024, FTA published 

a Notice of Proposed Buy America 

Waiver and Request for Comment, (89 

FR 73185) for the special trackwork 

switches DTC seeks to procure under 

Sub-Package 7. The proposed waiver 

would apply only to the switch 

described above. The waiver would not 

apply to any other products or any other 

projects besides Sub-Package 7. 

Response to Comments 

FTA received no comments in 

response to its proposed waiver. 

Finding on Waiver 

For the reasons stated above, FTA is 

granting the waiver as proposed. 

FTA waives one pair of EN60E1A1 

switch point rails and all appurtenances 

associated with its installation; four 

transition head machined rails for 

connection to frog and turnout rails; and 

one set of switch point rods consisting 

of two drive rods and two detector rods 

to be procured under Sub-Package 7. 

The waiver is effective from the 

effective date of this notice through the 

period of performance and closeout of 

FTA’s financial assistance for the 

project, which is estimated to be March 

30, 2030.
