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 SUMMARY: Performance Review Board Membership Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00090 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 8081 going forward are subject to Section 25019 of the BIL, not Section 199B of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021.

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. E:\FR\FM\11FEN1.SGM 11FEN1
