Title: Buy America; Petition for Rulemaking(Section 610 Review) | |
Abstract: This rulemaking would address the treatment of bi-metallic aluminum rail under FTA's Buy America rule. Presently, both running rail (carrying the weight of the train) and power rail (carrying the electric power supply) are treated alike under the Buy America regulation, i.e., all rail products must be produced in the United States, including all manufacturing processes, except metallurgical processes involving refinement of steel additives. During its recent Buy America rulemaking, FTA received several requests to classify bi-metallic aluminum rail as "traction power equipment." Such a move would subject bi-metallic aluminum rail to a 60/40 percent domestic/non-domestic content requirement, provided that final assembly takes place in the United States. | |
