SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

authority of the Recovery Act, Public 

Law 111–5, section 1605(b)(2), the head 

of a federal department or agency may 

issue a ‘‘determination of 

inapplicability’’ (a waiver of the Buy 

American provision) if the iron, steel, or 

relevant manufactured good is not 

produced or manufactured in the United 

States in sufficient and reasonably 

available quantities and of a satisfactory 

quality (‘‘nonavailability’’). On 

November 10, 2009, the Secretary of 

Energy delegated the authority to make 

all inapplicability determinations to the 

Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency 

and Renewable Energy (EERE), for EERE 

projects under the Recovery Act. 

Pursuant to this delegation the Assistant 

Secretary, EERE, has concluded that 24- 

leaf, motorized DMX iris units (items 

used in conjunction with a Source 4 

lighting instrument in the theatrical 

lighting business); Induction lamps and 

ballasts for induction lighting systems 

(this waiver does not include fixtures 

for induction lighting, which are readily 

available from domestic manufacturers); 

Enphase micro-inverters for solar 

photovoltaic systems; gas or propane 

commercial-scale high efficiency 

condensing wall hung boiler with 

indirect water heater, 94% or greater 

efficiency and a BTU output below 

350,000, constructed with SA240–316 

Ti stainless steel; large-format solar 

thermal collectors for integrated district 

heating systems (includes only highperformance flat plate solar collectors 

that possess the ability to limit the 

convective heat loss from the absorber 

plate to the cover glass, effectively 

minimizing heat losses to less than 2.6 

W/m2K; the capability of sustaining 

output temperatures of 195 degrees F; 

and a gross collector area of greater than 

150 ft2); turbochargers for Mitsubishi/ 

Man 52/55B diesel generator engine 

(only in circumstances where replacing 

an existing MAN/NA48T turbocharger); 

and Liebert Variable Speed Upgrade 

Kits and Liebert iCOM Control Upgrade 

kits for the Liebert Chilled Water Deluxe 

heating, cooling, and humidification 

space conditioner that will be used on 

eligible EERE-Recovery Act funded 

projects qualify for the ‘‘nonavailability’’ 

waiver determination. 

EERE has developed a robust process 

to ascertain in a systematic and 

expedient manner whether or not there 

is domestic manufacturing capacity for 

the items submitted for a waiver of the 

Recovery Act Buy American provision. 

This process involves a close 

collaboration with the United States 

Department of Commerce National 

Institute of Standards and Technology 

(NIST) Manufacturing Extension 

Partnership (MEP), in order to scour the 

domestic manufacturing landscape in 

search of producers before making any 

nonavailability. 

The NIST MEP has 59 regional centers 

with substantial knowledge of, and 

connections to, the domestic 

manufacturing sector. MEP uses their 

regional centers to ‘scout’ for current or 

potential manufacturers of the 

product(s) submitted in a waiver 

request. In the course of this interagency 

collaboration, MEP has been able to find 

exact or partial matches for 

manufactured goods that EERE grantees 

had been unable to locate. As a result, 

in those cases, EERE was able to work 

with the grantees to procure Americanmade products rather than granting a 

waiver. 

Upon receipt of completed waiver 

requests for the seven products in the 

current waiver, EERE reviewed the 

information provided and submitted the 

relevant technical information to the 

NIST MEP. The MEP then used their 

network of nationwide centers to scout 

for domestic manufacturers. The NIST 

MEP reported that their scouting 

process did not locate any domestic 

manufacturers for these exact or 

equivalent items. 

In addition to the MEP collaboration 

outlined above, the EERE Buy American 

Coordinator worked with labor unions, 

trade associations and other 

manufacturing stakeholders to scout for 

domestic manufacturing capacity or an 

equivalent product for each item 

contained in this waiver. EERE also 

conducted significant amounts of 

independent research to supplement 

MEP’s scouting efforts, including 

utilizing the solar experts employed by 

the Department of Energy’s National 

Renewable Energy Laboratory. EERE’s 

research efforts confirmed the MEP 

findings that the goods included in this 

waiver are not produced in the United 

States in sufficient and reasonably 

available quantities and of a satisfactory 

quality. 

The nonavailability determination is 

also informed by the inquiries and 

petitions to EERE from recipients of 

EERE Recovery Act funds, and from 

suppliers, distributors, retailers and 

trade associations—all stating that their 

individual efforts to locate domestic 

manufacturers have been unsuccessful. 

Having established a proper 

justification based on domestic 

nonavailability, EERE hereby provides 

notice that on August 11, 2010, seven 

nationwide categorical waivers of 

section 1605 of the Recovery Act were 

issued as detailed supra. This notice 

constitutes the detailed written 

justification required by Section 1605(c) 

for waivers based on a finding under 

subsection (b). 

This waiver determination is pursuant 

to the delegation of authority by the 

Secretary of Energy to the Assistant 

Secretary for Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy with respect to 

expenditures within the purview of her 

responsibility. Consequently, this 

waiver applies to EERE projects carried 

out under the Recovery Act. 

Authority: Pub. L. 111–5, section 1605. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on August 16, 

2010. 

Cathy Zoi, 

Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, U.S. Department of 

Energy.
