You may access these executive orders at the California Air Resources Board website: https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/offroad/cert/cert.php For example:

Executive Order U-R-002-0747 was issued on March 16, 2020, for Flexibility Program Engine Family Name “DCEXL15.0AAK,” a Cummins Inc. 2020 model engine. Executive Order U-R-002-0592-2 issued On December 30, 2013, for Engine Family DCEXL15.0AAK indicates the “Emission Standard Category” is tier 4 interim. Use of Engine Family “DCEXL 15.0AAK is compliant.

Furnish iron or steel products to be incorporated into the work with certificates of compliance and certified mill test reports. Mill test reports must indicate where the steel and iron were melted and manufactured.

All melting and manufacturing processes for these materials, including an application of a coating, must occur in the United States. Coating includes all processes that protect or enhance the value of the material to which the coating is applied.

6-1.04D Manufactured Products Manufactured products mean articles, materials, or supplies that have been:

1. Processed into a specific form and shape; or

2. Combined with other articles, materials, or supplies to create a product with different properties than the individual articles, materials, or supplies

Per 23 CFR 635.410, these products must be manufactured in the United States.

Manufacturer, in the case of manufactured products, means the entity that performs the final manufacturing process by bringing individual elements together that produces a manufactured product.

If an item is classified as an iron or steel product, a construction material, or an excluded material under the definitions set forth under this Buy America section, then it is not a manufactured product. However, an article, material, or supply classified as a manufactured product under this Buy America section may include components that are construction materials, iron or steel products, or excluded materials.

Iron or steel used in precast concrete manufactured products or enclosures for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) must meet the requirements of section 6-1.04C regardless of the amount used.

Iron or steel used in other manufactured products must meet the requirements of section 6-1.04C if the cost of steel and iron components is 50 percent or more of the total cost of the manufactured product.

Furnish construction materials to be incorporated into the work with certificates of compliance with each project delivery. Manufacturer’s certificate of compliance must identify where the construction material was manufactured and attest specifically to compliance with the 2 CFR 184.6 standard.

Minor additions of articles, materials, supplies, or binding agents to these construction materials do not change the categorization of the construction material.

6-1.04F Buy America Waiver for the De Minimis Costs for Manufactured Products and Construction Materials A De Minimis Costs waiver can waive the application of FHWA's Buy America requirements for manufactured products and construction materials under a single project when the total cost of non-compliant manufactured products and construction materials is no more than the lesser of $1,000,000 or 5 percent of the total applicable costs for the project.

The percentage threshold is calculated based on the following formula:

X = NC / TA

where:

X = percent threshold NC = total cost of non-compliant construction materials and manufactured products TA = total applicable project costs (steel, iron, construction materials and manufactured products;

does not include excluded materials)

This threshold is based on the actual cost of the steel, iron, construction materials, and manufactured products, not the anticipated cost of those materials. The contractor must account for compliant and non-compliant Department-Furnished Materials for the project in the De Minimis Costs Waiver Worksheet calculation if provided by the Department as supplemental project information.

See further instructions for the De Minimis Costs waiver request in the Notice of Materials to be Used form.
