The recently enacted
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL),
enacted as the Infrastructure Investment
and Jobs Act, authorizes a recipient or
subrecipient of a grant provided by the
DOT Secretary under Title 23 or 49,
United States Code, to implement a
local or other geographical or economic
hiring preference relating to the use of
labor for construction of a project
funded by the grant subject to any
applicable State and local laws, policies,
and procedures. Based on this statutory
authorization, FHWA is announcing a
transition from its initiative announced
in May 2021, which permitted, on an
experimental basis, recipients and
subrecipients of Federal funds for
Federal-aid highway projects to utilize
geographic, economic, or other hiring
preferences or innovative contracting
approaches not otherwise authorized by
law. The May 2021 initiative was
carried out as a pilot program under
FHWA’s existing experimental
contracting authority and the legal
authority in the Section 199B of the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021,
authorizing such hiring preferences ‘‘not
otherwise authorized by law.’’ Now that
BIL creates the legal authority for local
or other geographical or economic
hiring preferences, an experimental
pilot program for such hiring
preferences is no longer needed. In
Addition, the use of such preferences

Bipartisan Infrastructure Law
The BIL, enacted as the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act, Public Law
117–58 (Nov. 15, 2021), authorizes a
recipient or subrecipient of a grant
provided by the DOT Secretary under
Title 23 or 49, United States Code
(U.S.C.), to implement a local or other
geographical or economic hiring
preference relating to the use of labor for
construction of a project funded by the
grant, including prehire agreements,
subject to any applicable State and local
laws, policies, and procedures. BIL,
§ 25019(a)(1). The BIL also provides that
the use of a local or other geographical
or economic hiring preference
authorized by Section 25019(a)(1) in any
bid for a contract for the construction of
a project funded by a grant described in
Section 25019(a)(1) shall not be
considered to unduly limit competition.
BIL, § 25019(a)(2).
Enhancing Highway Workforce
Development Opportunities Contracting
Initiative
On May 21, 2021, at 86 FR 27667,
FHWA announced an initiative to
permit and evaluate geographic,
economic, or other hiring preferences or
innovative contracting approaches not
otherwise authorized by law that have
the potential to enhance workforce
development opportunities in the
transportation construction industry,
including for low-income communities.
As discussed in the Federal Register
notice for that initiative, FHWA
historically disallowed such
requirements out of concern for their
potential impact on competition.
