HUD has worked to develop an implementation plan across its Federal Financial Assistance (FFA) programs, including publishing a ‘‘Request for Information Relating to the Implementation of the Build America, Buy America Act’’ on June 1, 2022. In furtherance of its implementation plan, HUD published in the Federal Register a document titled ‘‘Request for Information Regarding Iron, Steel, Construction Materials, and Manufactured Products Used in Housing Programs Pursuant to the Build America, Buy America Act.’’ The request for information solicits comment input to improve HUD’s understanding of the current state of the domestic market for products required in housing infrastructure projects. While the request for information originally provided for a 30-day comment period, in consultation with the Office of Management and Budget’s Made in America Office HUD has determined that extending the public comment period by an additional 45 days will better allow the public to submit comments that will help HUD gather information necessary to fully implement the BAP. Thus, HUD is extending the date for public comment until June 17, 2024. Aaron Santa Anna, Associate General Counsel for Legislation and Regulations.
