Background 

The FHWA’s Buy America policy in 

23 CFR 635.410 requires a domestic 

manufacturing process for any steel or 

iron products (including protective 

coatings) that are permanently 

incorporated in a Federal-aid 

construction project. The regulation also 

provides for a waiver of the Buy 

America requirements when the 

application would be inconsistent with 

the public interest or when satisfactory 

quality domestic steel and iron products 

are not sufficiently available. This 

notice provides information regarding 

FHWA’s finding that a Buy America 

waiver is appropriate in procurement of 

non-domestic U–69 guard bars, 

manganese casting, turnout braces, and 

weld kits for CREATE rail projects in 

Chicago, Illinois. 

In accordance with Division A, 

section 122 of the ‘‘Consolidated and 

Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 

2012’’ (Pub. L. 112–55), FHWA 

published a notice of intent to issue a 

waiver on its Web site for non-domestic 

U–69 guard bars, manganese casting, 

turnout braces, and weld kits (http://

www.fhwa.dot.gov/construction/

contracts/waivers.cfm?id=103) on 

December 9, 2014. The FHWA received 

no comments in response to the 

publication. During the 15-day comment 

period, FHWA conducted additional 

nationwide review to locate potential 

domestic manufacturers of U–69 guard 

bars, manganese casting, turnout braces, 

and weld kits. Based on all the 

information available to the agency, 

FHWA concludes that there are no 

domestic manufacturers of the U–69 

guard bars, manganese casting, turnout 

braces, and weld kits. 

In accordance with the provisions of 

section 117 of the SAFETEA–LU 

Technical Corrections Act of 2008 (Pub. 

L. 110–244, 122 Stat. 1572), FHWA is 

providing this notice as its finding that 

a waiver of Buy America requirements 

is appropriate. The FHWA invites 

public comment on this finding for an 

additional 15 days following the 

effective date of the finding. Comments 

may be submitted to FHWA’s Web site 

via the link provided to the Illinois 

waiver page noted above.
