Bill > HR2810

This bill, the Build America, Buy America Act, aims to ensure that certain federal infrastructure programs require the use of materials produced in the United States. Key provisions include: 1. Requiring federal agencies to identify all federal financial assistance programs for infrastructure and assess the applicability of existing domestic content procurement preferences. Agencies must create a list of "deficient programs" that lack or have waivers for these preferences. 2. Mandating that, within 180 days, none of the funds for federal infrastructure financial assistance programs, including deficient programs, can be used for projects unless all iron, steel, and manufactured products used are produced in the U.S. 3. Allowing waivers of the domestic content procurement requirement only in limited circumstances, such as when it would be inconsistent with the public interest or if certain products are not reasonably available in the U.S. 4. Directing the Office of Management and Budget to issue guidance to assist agencies in identifying deficient programs and applying the new domestic content procurement preferences. The bill aims to promote U.S. manufacturing and jobs by ensuring federal infrastructure projects use American-made materials, while still allowing limited waivers to account for special circumstances.
