SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA),
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.
The Act also requires that the agency must:
(1) identify all domestic content procurement preferences
applicable to the Federal financial assistance;
(2) assess the applicability of the domestic content procurement
preference requirements, including: (A) section 313 of title 23, United
States Code; (B) section 5323(j) of title 49, United States Code; (C)
section 22905(a) of title 49, United States Code; (D) section 50101 of
title 49, United States Code; (E) section 603 of the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1388); (F) section 1452(a)(4) of the
Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300j-12(a)(4)); (G) section 5035 of
the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 2014 (33 U.S.C.
3 3914); (H) any domestic content procurement preference included in an
appropriations Act; and (I) any other domestic content procurement
preference in Federal law (including regulations);
(3) provide details on any applicable domestic content procurement
preference requirement, including the
[[Page 51401]]
purpose, scope, applicability, and any exceptions and waivers issued
under the requirement; and
(4) include a description of the type of infrastructure projects
that receive funding under the program, including information relating
to: (A) the number of entities that are participating in the program;
(B) the amount of Federal funds that are made available for the program
for each fiscal year; and (C) any other information the head of the
Federal agency determines to be relevant.
Commission Infrastructure Programs: The Commission's program areas
are determined annually by the Commissioners for the Denali Commission
(``Commissioners'') through the approval on an annual workplan. The
current workplan (FY 2022 Workplan) is listed below. These program
areas can change from year to year as determined by the Commissioners
but all of the funds for these areas could be used for an
infrastructure project. Prior to the passage of the IIJA the
Commission's Financial Assistance Awards were not subject to a Buy
America requirement. Therefore all of the Commission's programs were
inconsistent with section 70914. All of the Commission's programs are
now compliant with the Buy America requirements.
