A manufactured product is considered produced in the United States if (1) all of the manufacturing processes for the product take place in the United States and (2) all of the components of the product are of U.S. origin. A component is considered of U.S. origin if it is manufactured in the United States, regardless of the origin of its subcomponents. 49 CFR 661.5(d). FTA may waive Buy America requirements for a product if, among other reasons, a compliant version of the product is not produced in a sufficient and reasonably available amount or is not of satisfactory quality. 49 U.S.C. 5323(j)(2)(B). FTA cannot deny a request for a nonavailability waiver unless it can provide the waiver applicant with a written certification that the item is produced in the United States in a sufficient and reasonably available amount; the item produced in the United States is of a satisfactory quality; and includes a list of known manufacturers in the United States from which the item can be obtained. 49 U.S.C. 5323(j)(6).
