Federal Highway Administration 

Buy America Waiver Notification 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice provides 

information regarding FHWA’s finding 

that a Buy America waiver is 

appropriate for the procurement of a 

John Deere 640R Standard Farm Loader 

for recreational trail maintenance by the 

St. Marys Area Snowmobile Association 

(through the Pennsylvania Department 

of Conservation and Natural Resources) 

because the equipment is not available 

to be produced using 100 percent 

domestic steel or iron. 

DATES: The effective date of the waiver 

is October 11, 2017. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

questions about this notice, please 

contact Mr. Gerald Yakowenko, FHWA 

Office of Program Administration, (202) 

366–1562, or via email at 

gerald.yakowenko@dot.gov. For legal 

questions, please contact Mr. William 

Winne, FHWA Office of the Chief 

Counsel, 202–366–1397, or via email at 

william.winne@dot.gov. Office hours for 

the FHWA are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 

p.m., E.T., Monday through Friday,

Electronic Access 

An electronic copy of this document

Register’s home page at: http://

Publishing 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 

FHWA’s finding that a Buy America 

waiver is appropriate for a John Deere 

640R Standard Farm Loader for 

recreational trail maintenance by the St. 

Marys Area Snowmobile Association in 

Pennsylvania because this equipment is 

not available to be produced by 

domestic manufacturers using 100 

percent domestic steel or iron. 

Consistent with the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act of 2017 (Pub. L. 

115–31), FHWA published a notice on 

its Web site, https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ 

construction/contracts/waivers.cfm?

id=148 on March 22 seeking comments 

on whether a waiver of Buy America 

requirements is appropriate. The FHWA 

received no comments in response to 

the publication. Both the St. Marys Area 

Snowmobile Association and 

Pennsylvania Department of 

Conservation and Natural Resources 

were unable to verify that equipment 

meeting its specifications could be 

produced by domestic manufacturers. 

The applicant requires and all-terrain, 

all-season, medium frame tractor to pull 

snow grooming equipment and clear the 

trail of vegetation. The applicant could 

not locate a domestically manufactured 

model of all season, medium frame 

tractors that can accommodate its 

existing snow grooming equipment. The 

FHWA also contacted a potential 

domestic manufacturer and a domestic 

vendor to verify whether the subject 

materials or a suitable substitute were 

reasonably available. Based on all the 

information available to the agency, 

FHWA concludes that there are no 

domestic manufacturers of a John Deere 

640R Standard Farm Loader for 

recreational trail maintenance by the St. 

Marys Area Snowmobile Association in 

Pennsylvania for which all its iron and 

steel is domestically manufactured. 

The St. Marys Area Snowmobile 

Association, the Pennsylvania 

Department of Conservation and Natural 

Resources, Pennsylvania DOT, 

contractors, and subcontractors 

involved in the procurement of John 

Deere 640R are reminded of the need to 

comply with the Cargo Preference Act in 

46 CFR part 38, if applicable. 

In accordance with the provisions of 

section 117 of the SAFETEA–LU 

Technical Corrections Act of 2008 (Pub. 

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

via the link provided to the waiver page 

noted above.

[Docket No. NHTSA–2015–0105, Notice 2] 

Decision That Nonconforming Model 

Year 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago 

Passenger Cars Are Eligible for 

Importation 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Grant of petition. 

SUMMARY: This document announces a 

decision by the National Highway 

Traffic Safety Administration that 

certain model year (MY) 2010 

Lamborghini Murcielago passenger cars 

(PCs) that were not originally 

manufactured to comply with all 

applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety 

Standards (FMVSS) are eligible for 

importation into the United States 

because they are substantially similar to 

vehicles originally manufactured for 

sale in the United States and certified by 

their manufacturer as complying with 

the safety standards (the U.S. certified

47076 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 194 / Tuesday, October 10, 2017 / Notices 

version of the MY 2010 Lamborghini 

Murcielago PC), and they are capable of 

being readily altered to conform to the 

standards. 

DATES: This decision became effective 

on October 3, 2017. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

George Stevens, Office of Vehicle Safety 

Compliance, NHTSA (202–366–5308). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a 

motor vehicle that was not originally 

manufactured to conform to all 

applicable FMVSS shall be refused 

admission into the United States unless 

NHTSA has decided that the motor 

vehicle is substantially similar to a 

motor vehicle originally manufactured 

for importation into and sale in the 

United States, certified as required 

under 49 U.S.C. 30115, and of the same 

model year as the model of the motor 

vehicle to be compared, and is capable 

of being readily altered to conform to all 

applicable FMVSS. 

Petitions for eligibility decisions may 

be submitted by either manufacturers or 

importers who have registered with 

NHTSA pursuant to 49 CFR part 592. As 

specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA 

publishes notice in the Federal Register 

of each petition that it receives, and 

affords interested persons an 

opportunity to comment on the petition. 

At the close of the comment period, 

NHTSA decides, on the basis of the 

petition and any comments that it has 

received, whether the vehicle is eligible 

for importation. The agency then 

publishes this decision in the Federal 

Register. 

G&K Automotive Conversion, Inc., of 

Santa Ana, CA (G&K) (Registered 

Importer #RI–90–007), petitioned 

NHTSA to decide whether MY 2010 

Lamborghini Murcielago PCs are eligible 

for importation into the United States. 

NHTSA published a notice of the 

petition on May 2, 2017 (82 FR 20532) 

to afford an opportunity for public 

comment. No comments were received 

in response to this petition. The reader 

is referred to the receipt notice for a 

thorough description of the petition. 

NHTSA’s Conclusions 

NHTSA has reviewed the petition and 

has concluded that the vehicles covered 

by the petition are substantially similar 

to MY 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago 

PCs and are capable of being readily 

altered to comply with all applicable 

FMVSS. 

NHTSA has also concluded that each 

RI who imports and modifies one of 

these vehicles must include in the 

statement of conformity and associated 

documents (‘‘conformity package’’) it 

submits to the NHTSA under 49 CFR 

part 592.6(d) explicit proof to confirm 

that the vehicle was, where applicable, 

originally manufactured to conform to, 

or was successfully altered to conform 

to, FMVSS No. 101 Controls and 

Displays, FMVSS No. 138, Tire Pressure 

Monitoring Systems, FMVSS No. 208, 

Occupant Crash Protection, and FMVSS 

No. 301 Fuel System Integrity. This 

proof must include detailed 

descriptions of all modifications made, 

including a detailed description of 

systems in place (if any) on the vehicle 

as delivered to the RI, and a similarly 

detailed description of alterations made 

to the vehicle and said systems, 

including photographs of all required 

labeling. The descriptions must also 

include parts assembly diagrams and 

associated part numbers for all 

components that were removed from or 

installed in the vehicle, an accounting 

of any computer programming 

modifications undertaken and a 

description of how compliance was 

verified after alteration of the vehicle. 

In addition to the information 

specified above, each conformity 

package must also include evidence 

showing how the RI verified that the 

changes it made in loading or 

reprograming vehicle software to 

achieve conformity with each separate 

FMVSS, did not also cause the vehicle 

to fall out of compliance with any other 

applicable FMVSS. 

Decision 

Accordingly, on the basis of the 

foregoing, NHTSA hereby decides that 

MY 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago 

passenger cars that were not originally 

manufactured to comply with all 

applicable FMVSS, are substantially 

similar to MY 2010 Lamborghini 

Murcielago passenger cars 

manufactured for importation into and/ 

or sale in the United States, and 

certified under 49 U.S.C. 30115, and are 

capable of being readily altered to 

conform to all applicable Federal Motor 

Vehicle Safety Standards. 

Vehicle Eligibility Number for Subject 

Vehicles 

The importer of a vehicle admissible 

under any final decision must indicate 

on the form HS–7 accompanying entry 

the appropriate vehicle eligibility 

number indicating that the vehicle is 

eligible for entry. VSP–595 is the 

vehicle eligibility number assigned to 

vehicles admissible under this notice of 

final decision.
