Administration’s implementation of the
Build America, Buy America Act (the
Act), which was included in the historic
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). The
implementation of this law will
transform DOT’s approach to domestic
procurement requirements and is
designed to drive significant investment
in domestic manufacturing, spur job
creation and grow the economy. The
Department is taking three concurrent
actions: (1) DOT is not extending its
temporary waiver for construction
materials, making that requirement
applicable effective November 10, 2022;
(2) in a separate notice, DOT is
proposing a narrow waiver for de
minimis costs, small grants, and minor
components; and (3) in this notice, DOT
is proposing to take two actions to help
transition to the new construction
materials standard. First, for DOT
awards obligated on or after the effective
date of the final waiver, DOT is
proposing to waive the construction
materials requirements for any contracts
entered into before November 10, 2022.
Second, DOT is proposing to waive the
construction materials requirements for
any contracts entered into before March
10, 2023, that result from solicitations
published before May 14, 2022.
DATES: Comments must be received by
November 20, 2022. Late-filed
comments will be considered to the
extent practicable.
ADDRESSES: Please submit your
