• (iv) The Issuer request for a determination submitted after ARRA <br /> funds have been obligated for a project for construction, alteration, <br /> maintenance, or repair shall explain why the Issuer could not <br /> reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not <br /> have requested the determination before the funds were obligated. <br /> If the Issuer does not submit a satisfactory explanation, the award <br /> official need not make a determination. <br /> (2) To apply for a Project waiver, the Issuer must email the request in the <br /> form of a Word document (.doe) to the EPA Region 6 waiver email <br /> address at region6waiver@epa.gov and copy the email to the <br /> Commission's Project Administrator at pris.houchens@arkansas.gov. If a <br /> waiver is necessary, EPA strongly recommends initiating the request <br /> before construction has initiated. <br /> (3) If the EPA determines after funds have been obligated for a project for <br /> construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair that an exception to section <br /> 1605 of ARRA applies, the award official will amend the award to allow <br /> use of the foreign iron, steel, and/or relevant manufactured goods. When <br /> the basis for the exception is nonavailability or public interest, the <br /> amended award shall reflect adjustment of the award amount, <br /> redistribution of budgeted funds, and/or other actions taken to cover costs <br /> associated with acquiring or using the foreign iron, steel, and/or relevant <br /> manufactured goods. When the basis for the exception is the unreasonable <br /> cost of the domestic iron, steel, or manufactured goods, the award official <br /> shall adjust the award amount or redistribute budgeted funds by at least the <br /> differential established in 2 CFR 176.110(a). <br /> (4) Unless the EPA determines that an exception to section 1605 of ARRA <br /> applies, use of foreign iron, steel, and/or manufactured goods is <br /> noncompliant with section 1605 of ARRA. <br /> (d) Data. To permit evaluation of requests under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 8 <br /> based on unreasonable cost, the Issuer shall include the following information and <br /> any applicable supporting data based on the survey of suppliers: <br /> (W <br /> I <br />
