Federal Railroad Administration to Grant Buy America Waiver to Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority for Track Nuts

Summary

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) plans to grant a waiver to the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority (NNEPRA) to purchase 3,340 track nuts from a foreign supplier due to a lack of domestic options that meet the needed specifications, with the waiver being granted under 49 U.S.C. 24405(a) and following a competitive bidding process that yielded no compliant bidders.
