Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 108 / Monday, June 7, 2010 / Notices 32181 

was shown to be hydraulically 

connected to the Columbia River and 

chlorination was required. Prior to 

installation of the Canadianmanufactured PVC pipe and completion 

of the proposed project, the distribution 

system configuration did not allow for 

sufficient chlorine contact time. 

Without the appropriate contact time, 

the disinfection process could not have 

been completed prior to water reaching 

the consumers. The project originally 

estimated the need for 340 linear feet of 

large diameter 36′′ pipe to allow for 

ample and sufficient chlorine contact 

time to provide treatment and 

disinfection to the water however, after 

additional engineering analysis, it was 

noted that only 280 linear feet was 

needed for project specifications. EPA 

finds these considerations as stated by 

the City provide ample functional 

justification for their specification. 

The April 28 memorandum defines 

‘‘public interest’’ as those cases which 

possibly involve national implications 

of such a waiver. Based on additional 

research by EPA’s consulting contractor 

(Cadmus), and to the best of the 

Region’s knowledge at this time, the 

City attempted without success, to meet 

the Buy American requirements. 

Furthermore, the purpose of the ARRA 

provisions is to stimulate economic 

recovery by funding current 

infrastructure construction, not to delay 

projects that are already shovel ready by 

requiring entities, like the City, to revise 

their design or potentially choose a 

more costly and less effective project. 

The imposition 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 City is 

sufficient to meet the following criteria 

listed under section 1605(b) and in the 

April 28 memorandum: Applying the 

Buy American requirements of ARRA 

would be inconsistent with the public 

interest. 

The basis for this project waiver is the 

authorization provided in section 

1605(b)(1), due to the lack of any U.S. 

production of what by industry’s 

standards is a small amount (280 linear 

feet) of large diameter 36′′ PVC pipe, in 

order to meet the City’s design schedule 

and 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 grant recipients. 

Having reviewed all available 

documentation, statements, invoices, 

and related correspondence, EPA has 

established both a proper basis to 

specify the particular good required for 

this project, and that categorization of 

similar waiver requests from Gwinnett 

County, GA (granted 12/18/09) and Old 

Town, ME (granted 2/12/10) when the 

manufactured goods involved there had 

already been used in and incorporated 

into the ARRA project, that EPA has 

evaluated and considered the City’s 

waiver request as of January 4, 2010 to 

be considered under section 1605(b)(1) 

authority for public interest waivers. 

The City is hereby granted a waiver 

from the Buy American requirements of 

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

the purchase of 280 linear feet of large 

diameter 36′′ PVC pipe. 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. 

Dated: May 25, 2010.
