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 to use nondomestic 20′′ Trunnion mounted steel 

ball valve (ASCI 300/API 6D/ASME 318) 

in the State of New York. 

In accordance with Division A, 

section 122 of the ‘‘Consolidated and 

Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 

2012’’ (Pub. L. 112–55), the FHWA 

published a notice of intent to issue a 

waiver on its Web site for non-domestic 

20′′ Trunnion mounted steel ball valve 

(ASCI 300/API 6D/ASME 318) (http://

www.fhwa.dot.gov/construction/

contracts/waivers.cfm?id=99) on 

September 23rd. The FHWA received no 

comments in response to the 

publication. During the 15-day comment 

period, the FHWA conducted additional 

nationwide review to locate potential 

domestic manufacturers of the 20′′ 

Trunnion mounted steel ball valve 

(ASCI 300/API 6D/ASME 318). Based on 

all the information available to the 

Agency, the FHWA concludes that there 

are no domestic manufacturers of the 

20′′ Trunnion mounted steel ball valve 

(ASCI 300/API 6D/ASME 318). 

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 provided to the New 

York waiver page noted above. 

Authority: 23 U.S.C. 313; Pub. L. 110–161,

normal business hours are 8:00 a.m. to 

5:00 p.m. (Moutain Standard Time). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 

30, 2009, the FHWA, in cooperation 

with ADOT, issued a Notice of Intent 

(NOI) titled: ‘‘Environmental Impact 

Statement: Final (Pinal) and Gila 

Counties, AZ.’’ The intent of the project 

was to improve and/or realign US 60 in 

Pinal and Gila counties, Arizona from 

west of Superior at approximately 

milepost (MP) 222.6 to east of Globe at 

approximately MP 258.0. The US 60 

Corridor bisects the towns of Superior 

and Miami as well as the city of Globe. 

The project was issued a Federal Aid 

Number STP–060–D(214)A and an 

ADOT project number 060 GI 222 

H7162 01L. 

A No-Build Alternative and several 

Build Alternatives were being 

considered in the EIS for the Design 

Year 2040. The No-Build Alternative 

served as the baseline for the analysis 

conducted under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). 

The design and construction of 

separate widening and passing lane 

projects within the study corridor have 

commenced since the initiation of this 

study which have or will improve 

driving conditions for the traveling 

public. Additionally, funding to 

complete the study is not available. As 

such, the preparation of the EIS for the 

US 60 Superior to Globe Corridor 

Improvement/Realignment Study is 

being terminated. Any future 

transportation improvements or 

realignments of US 60 throughout this 

corridor will be determined and 

prioritized through ADOT’s Long Range
