Pipeline Safety: Proposed Project-Specific Waiver of the Build America, Buy America Act Requirements for City Utilities of Springfield, Missouri for Certain Products

摘要

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) proposes to waive the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act's domestic preference requirements for certain products that City Utilities of Springfield (City Utilities) will use in its Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and Modernization (NGDISM) grant project. The proposed waiver would exempt the following products used in City Utilities' project from BABA requirements on the basis of nonavailability: locator markers; meter stops with insulated unions; magnesium anodes; 1A meter swivels, nuts, and washers; and direct bury lugs. In accordance with section 70914(c) of BABA, PHMSA is seeking public comments on the proposed waiver.
