submit electronic comments, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comments and with 

any disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comments due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comments. 

Electronic files should avoid the use of 

special characters and any form of 

encryption and be free of any defects or 

viruses. For additional information

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s Federal advisory committees and 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a Federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. Federal advisory 

committees and panels, including 

scientific advisory committees, provide 

independent advice to EPA. Members of 

the public can submit comments for a 

Federal advisory committee to consider 

as it develops advice for EPA. They 

should send their comments directly to 

the Designated Federal Officer for the 

relevant advisory committee. Oral 

Statements: In general, individuals or 

groups requesting an oral presentation 

at a public teleconference will be 

limited to three minutes per speaker, 

with no more than a total of 30 minutes 

for all speakers. Each person making an 

oral statement should consider 

providing written comments as well as 

their oral statement so that the points 

presented orally can be expanded upon 

in writing. Interested parties should 

contact Dr. Holly Stallworth, DFO, in 

writing (preferably via e-mail) at the 

contact information noted above, by 

June 21, 2010 for the June 24, 2010 

teleconference and by August 2, 2010 

for the August 5, 2010 teleconference, to 

be placed on the list of public speakers. 

Written Statements: Written statements 

should be supplied to the DFO via email at the contact information noted 

above. Materials received fewer than 

two days before each teleconference 

may not be delivered to panel members 

in time for them to consider the 

materials during the teleconference. 

Written statements should be supplied 

in one of the following electronic 

formats: Adobe Acrobat PDF, MS Word, 

MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in 

IBM–PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format. 

Submitters are requested to provide 

versions of signed documents, 

submitted with and without signatures, 

because the SAB Staff Office does not 

publish documents with signatures on 

its Web sites. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Dr. Holly 

Stallworth at (202) 343–9867 or 

stallworth.holly@epa.gov. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact Dr. Stallworth preferably at least 

ten days prior to each teleconference to 

give EPA as much time as possible to 

process your request.

Notice of a Project Waiver of Section 

1605 (Buy American Requirement) of 

the American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) to 

the Canaan Valley Public Service 

District, West Virginia 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Regional Administrator 

of EPA Region 3 is hereby granting a 

project waiver of the Buy American 

requirements of ARRA Section 1605 

under the authority of Section 

1605(b)(2) [manufactured goods are not 

produced in the United States in 

sufficient and reasonably available 

quantities and of a satisfactory quality] 

to the Canaan Valley Public Service 

District (CVPSD) for the purchase of a 

membrane bioreactor system (MBR), 

supplied by Enviroquip Inc., that 

contains a primary component not 

manufactured in America, at two of its 

Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs). 

CVPSD indicates that the MBR 

treatment process is necessary to 

achieve the wastewater treatment levels 

required by the National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 

permits issued for these WWTPs. The 

membrane filtration equipment under 

consideration is manufactured by a 

company located in Japan and no 

United States manufacturer produces an 

alternative that meets the CVPSD’s 

technical specifications. This is a 

project specific waiver and only applies 

to the use of the specified product for 

the ARRA funded project being 

proposed. Any other ARRA project that 

may wish to use the same product must 

apply for a separate waiver based on the 

specific project circumstances. The 

Regional Administrator is making this 

determination based on the review and 

recommendations of the EPA Region III, 

Water Protection Division, Office of 

Infrastructure and Assistance. The 

CVPSD has provided sufficient 

documentation to support its request. 

The Assistant Administrator of the 

EPA’s Office of Administration and 

Resources Management has concurred 

on this decision to make an exception 

to Section 1605 of ARRA. This action 

permits the purchase of membrane 

filtration cassettes for the proposed 

project being implemented by the 

CVPSD. 

DATES: Effective Date: May 17, 2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Robert Chominski, Deputy Associate 

Director, (215) 814–2162, or David 

McAdams, Environmental Engineer, 

(215) 814–5764, Office of Infrastructure 

& Assistance (OIA), Water Protection 

Division, U.S. EPA Region III, 1650 

Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103– 

2029. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with ARRA Sections 1605(c) 

and 1605(b)(2), EPA hereby provides 

notice that it is granting a project waiver 

of the requirements of Section 1605(a) of 

Public Law 111–5, Buy American 

requirements to the Canaan Valley 

Public Service District (CVPSD) for the 

acquisition of an ‘‘Enviroquip MBR 

system.’’ CVPSD has been unable to find 

an MBR system that contains Americanmade MBR cassettes to meet its specific 

wastewater requirements. 

Section 1605 of the ARRA requires 

that none of the appropriated funds may 

be used for the construction, alteration, 

maintenance, or repair of a public 

building or public work unless all of the 

iron, steel, and manufactured goods 

used in the project are produced in the 

United States unless a waiver is 

provided to the recipient by EPA. A 

waiver may be provided if EPA 

determines that (1) applying these 

requirements would be inconsistent 

with public interest; (2) iron, steel, and 

the relevant manufactured goods are not 

produced in the United States in 

sufficient and reasonably available 

quantities and of a satisfactory quality; 

or (3) inclusion of iron, steel, and the 

relevant manufactured goods produced 

in the United States will increase the 

cost of the overall project by more than 

25 percent. 

CVPSD’s waiver request is to allow 

the purchase of the Enviroquip MBR 

system with four membrane filtration 

cassettes, manufactured by Kubota Inc. 

of Japan, for use in improvements to two 

existing WWTPs in West Virginia. This 

project will upgrade two of its existing
