Abstract
In accordance with the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA), this notice advises that HUD is proposing to issue a temporary, limited non-availability partial waiver of the manufactured product requirements in BABA included in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) for domestically assembled solar modules used in Federal financial assistance (FFA) awarded for infrastructure projects. This waiver covers multiple projects that HUD anticipates will involve the installation of solar modules with the intent of addressing multiple project specific non-availability waivers into one document to reduce paperwork and support administrative efficiency. The narrowly tailored BABA waiver proposed in this notice would support the establishment of a domestic solar supply chain, increase benefits for domestic solar manufacturing, and help reduce risks for vulnerable populations. HUD is seeking public comments on this proposed waiver.
