AGENCY: Federal Highway

Printing Office’s database at: http://

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.
