SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (known officially as
the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act), signed by President Biden
on November 15, 2021, includes the Build America, Buy America Act
(BABA), which requires each agency to submit to OMB and Congress a
report within 60 days of enactment that lists all Federal financial
assistance programs for infrastructure administered by the agency and
that identifies the programs that are ``deficient,'' as defined in the
Act.
DOT's report was developed in accordance with the requirements
found in section 70913 of the BABA and OMB guidance issued on December
20, 2021. It provides a listing of the Federal financial assistance
programs for
[[Page 6944]]
infrastructure administered by DOT; a discussion of domestic preference
laws and requirements that apply to those programs; and identifies
those programs that are currently not fully consistent with the
requirements of section 70914 of the BABA. The report provides
information on the Federal financial assistance programs for
infrastructure and associated Buy America(n) requirements administered
by DOT and its operating administrations, including the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA),
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Federal Transit Administration
(FTA), and the Maritime Administration (MARAD), as well as the Office
of the Secretary (OST).
The report is available online on the Department of Transportation
website at <a href="https://www.transportation.gov/office-policy/transportation-policy/made-in-america/build-america-buy-america-60-day-report">https://www.transportation.gov/office-policy/transportation-policy/made-in-america/build-america-buy-america-60-day-report</a>.
