Federal Aviation Administration 

Public Notice for Waiver of 

Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; 

Greater Beardstown Airport, 

Beardstown, IL 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with 

respect to land. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) is considering a 

proposal to change a portion of airport 

land from aeronautical use to nonaeronautical use and to authorize the 

exchange of the property for land 

needed to protect the transitional 

surface of Runway 18/36. The proposal 

consists of a 2.1-acre portion of Parcel 

1 in exchange for 9.6 acres of Parcel 3. 

Presently the 2.1 acres of Parcel 1 is 

located outside of the fenced in portion 

of airport property and any protected 

zone (runway protection zone, object 

free area, object free zone, etc.) This 

land is currently being used as 

residential and has a mobile home 

located on it. Parcel 1 was acquired in 

1986 with Federal participation. It is the 

intent of the City of Beardstown, as 

owner and operator of the Greater 

Beardstown Airport (K06) to exchange 

the subject portion of Parcel 1 (2.1 

Acres) to Ms. Hardwick, Beardstown, IL 

in exchange for 9.6 acres of land 

(portion of Parcel 3), which is in the 

side transition area of Runway 18/36. 

This notice announces that the FAA is 

considering the proposal to authorize 

the exchange of the subject airport 

property at the Greater Beardstown 

Airport, Beardstown, IL with a portion 

of Parcel 3 (9.6 acres). Approval does 

not constitute a commitment by the 

FAA to financially assist in disposal of 

the subject airport property nor a 

determination that all measures covered 

by the program are eligible for grant-inaid funding from the FAA. 

In accordance with section 47107(h) 

of Title 49, United States Code, this 

notice is required to be published in the 

Federal Register 30 days before 

modifying the land-use assurance that 

requires the property to be used for an 

aeronautical purpose. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 24, 2008.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Buy America Waiver Notification 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice provides 

information regarding the FHWA’s 

finding that a Buy America waiver is 

appropriate for stainless steel clad 

reinforcing bars used in certain Federalaid construction projects in Virginia. 

DATES: The effective date of the waiver 

is August 26, 2008. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

questions about this notice, please 

contact Gerald Yakowenko, FHWA 

Office of Program Administration, (202) 

366–1562, gerald.yakowenko@dot.gov. 

For legal questions, please contact 

Michael Harkins, FHWA Office of the 

Chief Counsel, (202) 366–4928, 

michael.harkins@dot.gov. Office hours 

for the FHWA are from 7:45 a.m. to 4:15

except Federal holidays. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Electronic Access 

An electronic copy of this document 

may be downloaded from the Federal 

Register ’s home page at: http:// 

www.archives.gov and the Government 

Printing Office’s database at: http:// 

www.access.gpo.gov/nara. . 

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 

the FHWA’s finding that a Buy America 

waiver is appropriate for stainless steel 

clad reinforcing bars used for certain 

Federal-aid projects administered by the 

Virginia Department of Transportation. 

In accordance with the Division K, 

section 130 of the ‘‘Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2008’’ (Pub. L. 110–

161), the FHWA published a notice of 

intent to issue a waiver on its Web site 

for stainless steel clad reinforcing bars 

for selected Federal-aid projects in 

Virginia (http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ 

construction/contracts/ 

waivers.cfm?id=13) on June 22, 2008. 

The FHWA evaluated several comments 

that were received in response to the 

notice. Several commenters suggested 

that solid stainless rebar should be used 

and that stainless clad rebar may be 

more expensive than solid stainless 

rebar. Other commenters disagreed with 

this position. The Virginia Department 

of Transportation’s waiver request is to 

evaluate the stainless clad reinforcing 

bars along with two other types of 

corrosion resistant reinforcing steels 

(ASTM1035 and solid stainless) under 

an experimental project. The FHWA 

agrees with the Virginia Department of 

Transportation that it is in the public 

interest to waive the Buy America 

requirements for this experimental 

project; therefore, the FHWA concludes 

that a Buy America waiver is 

appropriate as provided by 23 CFR 

635.410(c)(1). 

In accordance with the provisions of 

section 117 of the ‘‘SAFETEA—LU 

Technical Corrections Act of 2008 (Pub. 

L. 110–244, 122 Stat. 1572), the 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 the FHWA’s Web 

site via the link to the Virginia waiver 

page noted above.
