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 in procurement of
non-domestic Mobile Harbor Crane, 100
tons minimum capacity for the Virginia
Ports Authority.

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
Mobile Harbor Crane with 100 tons
minimum capacity (http://
www.fhwa.dot.gov/construction/
contracts/waivers.cfm?id=100) on
October 8th. 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 Mobile
Harbor Crane with 100 tons minimum
capacity. Based on all the information
available to the agency, the FHWA
concludes that there are no domestic
manufacturers of the Mobile Harbor
Crane with 100 tons minimum capacity
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 Virginia
waiver page noted above.
