SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Consistent
with the policy direction of Executive
Order 14005: Ensuring the Future is
Made in All of America By All of
America’s Workers, Title IX of
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
(IIJA): Build America, Buy America Act
(BABAA) imposes new, governmentwide domestic content procurement
preference requirements on all
federally-funded infrastructure
projects—whether or not funded
through IIJA. Section 70913(a) of IIJA
requires each agency covered by
BABAA to submit a report to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) and
Congress that will be published in the
Federal Register. As provided in section
70913(b) of IIJA this report must:
(1) Identify all domestic content
procurement preferences applicable to
EPA’s Federal financial assistance
programs for infrastructure.
(2) Assess the applicability of
domestic content procurement
preference requirements in certain
specified statutes of which section 603
of the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act (33 U.S.C. 1388), section 1452(a)(4)
of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42
U.S.C. 300j–12(a)(4)) and section 5035
of the Water Infrastructure Finance and
Innovation Act of 2014 (33 U.S.C. 3914)
are applicable to EPA.
(3) Assess the applicability of any
other domestic content procurement
preference requirement included in an
appropriations Act or other Federal laws
(including regulations) to an EPA
Federal financial assistance program for
infrastructure.
(4) Provide details on any domestic
content procurement preference
requirement applicable to an EPA
Federal financial assistance program for

infrastructure, including the purpose,
scope, applicability, and any exceptions
and waivers issued under the
requirement.
(5) 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 EPA’s
Administrator determines to be relevant.
Section 70913(c) of IIJA requires that
the report include a list of ‘‘Deficient
Programs’’ which identifies EPA’s
financial assistance programs for
infrastructure (as defined in section
70912(5) of IIJA) for which a domestic
content procurement preference
requirement does not apply in a manner
consistent with section 70914 of IIJA or
is subject to a waiver of general
applicability not limited to the use of
specific products for use in a specific
project. Section 70914 generally
requires that all the iron, steel,
manufactured products, and
construction materials used in projects
receiving EPA financial assistance for
infrastructure be produced in the United
States unless EPA provides a waiver of
the requirement or application of the
requirement would be inconsistent with
the United States’ obligations under
international agreements.
The EPA BABA Report available at
https://www.epa.gov/grants/epasidentification-federal-financialassistance-infrastructure-programssubject-build meets the requirements of
section 70913 but will be updated as
additional information becomes
available.
