performance test to be witnessed by the 

senior wastewater treatment plant 

operator and an independent engineer. 

Between February and July of 2010, 

the City’s engineering consultant 

conducted an extensive investigation 

into all possible sources for American 

made rotary screw compressors. Based 

on the investigation, several companies 

were found to manufacture these 

machines, but only one, Universal 

Blower Pac (UBP), claimed to be able to 

meet the required performance 

specifications. EPA’s national contractor 

prepared a technical assessment report 

dated August 26, 2010, based on the 

submitted waiver request. The report 

indicated that UBP confirmed the EE– 

Pac compressor could comply with 

performance specification requirements, 

and the EPA contractor concluded that 

no other U.S. manufacturers produced 

rotary screw blowers that would meet 

the project specifications. Over the 

course of several months, the City and 

engineering consultant attempted to 

gather energy performance and 

independent engineering testing results 

from UBP to validate UBP’s claim that 

the EE–Pac compressor would meet the 

project specifications. Responses from 

UBP have not included the required 

information to consider system energy 

loss and independent engineering 

testing as identified in the performance 

specifications. Therefore, UBP’s claim to 

produce an acceptable compressor does 

not meet the project specifications. 

Thus, the City has demonstrated due 

diligence in their efforts and were 

ultimately unable to identify an 

available domestic product of 

satisfactory quality. 

The April 28 memorandum defines 

‘‘reasonably available quantity’’ as the 

quantity of iron, steel, or relevant 

manufactured good is available or will 

be available at the time needed and 

place needed, and in the proper form or 

specification as specified in the project 

plans and design. Based on additional 

research by the City and EPA’s national 

contractor, 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 was 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 halt 

construction pending manufacture of 

domestically produced goods. To 

further delay construction is in direct 

conflict with the most fundamental 

economic purposes of ARRA; to create 

or retain jobs. 

The Grants and Strategic Planning 

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: 

Iron, Steel, and manufactured goods are 

not produced in the United States in 

sufficient and reasonably available quantities 

and of a satisfactory quality. 

The basis for this project waiver is the 

authorization provided in Section 

1605(b)(2), due to the lack of U.S. 

production of rotary screw air 

compressors, in order to meet the City’s 

design specifications and performance 

requirements. 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 established both a proper basis 

to specify the particular good required 

for this project, and that this 

manufactured good was not available 

from a producer in the United States, 

the City is hereby granted a waiver from 

the Buy American requirements of 

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

the purchase and use of four rotary 

screw air compressors manufactured by 

Atlas Copco outside of the U.S. This 

supplementary information constitutes 

the detailed written justification 

required by Section 1605(c) for waivers 

based on a finding under subsection (b). 

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

with significant refined petroleum resources; 

(B) materially contribute to Iran’s capability 

to import refined petroleum resources; or 

(C) allow Iran to maintain or expand, in any 

material respect, its domestic production of 

refined petroleum resources, including any 

assistance in refinery construction, 

modernization, or repair. 

See Sec. 7043 of the Act. 

The Act is effectively immediately

Final Approval Under OMB Delegated 

Authority of the Extension for Three 

Years, Without Revision, of the 

Following Report 

Report title: Compensation and Salary 

Surveys. 

Agency form number: FR 29a,b. 

OMB control number: 7100–0290. 

Frequency: FR 29a, annually; FR 29b, 

on occasion. 

Reporters: Employers considered 

competitors for Federal Reserve 

employees. 

Estimated annual reporting hours: FR 

29a, 210 hours; FR 29b, 50 hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

FR 29a, 6 hours; FR 29b, 1 hour. 

Number of respondents: 45. 

General description of report: This 

information collection is authorized 

pursuant sections 10(4) and 11(1) of the 

Federal Reserve Act, (12 U.S.C. section 

244 and 248(1)) and is voluntary. These 

statutory provisions grant the Federal 

Reserve Board independence to 

determine its employees’ salaries and 

compensation. Individual respondent

adjustments for Federal Reserve Board 

employees so that salary ranges are 

competitive with other organizations 

offering similar jobs.
