Notice of Granted Buy America Waiver

Notice of Granted Buy America Waiver.

This waiver allows New Flyer of America to count a foreign manufactured articulating joint system used in its low floor buses as a domestic component for purposes of calculating the aggregate domestic content of the vehicle and was predicated on the non-availability of the item in the domestic market. The waiver was granted on April 24, 2001, for the period of two years, or until such time as a domestic source for this articulating joint becomes available, whichever occurs first. This notice shall insure that the public, particularly potential manufacturers, is aware of this waiver. FTA requests that the public notify it of any relevant changes in the domestic market.
