    The Maritime Administration under the Department of Transportation has announced the availability of $19.6 million in grants through the Small Shipyard Grant Program. These grants aim to enhance efficiency and quality in small shipyard operations, focusing on capital improvements and training for workers in shipbuilding-related industries. Applications for these grants are open until February 25, 2021, with strict eligibility criteria, including the requirement for shipyards to have fewer than 1,200 production employees. The program encourages the use of U.S.-produced goods and supports projects that aid rural areas and opportunity zones.

    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 6048
    Reading Time:about 8 minutes

    The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued a waiver for the Buy America requirements for transit-oriented development (TOD) housing projects getting credit assistance from TIFIA and RRIF programs. This waiver will affect TOD projects entering creditworthiness review by the end of 2025 and is intended to expedite these projects while maintaining domestic content standards. The DOT will keep working with borrowers to understand material sources and improve their policy for future projects. The waiver applies to both for-profit and non-Federal entity borrowers.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Department of Transportation is letting some projects use foreign-made parts to build new homes near train stations faster. They think this will help get the projects done more quickly, but some people worry it might be tough on American factories.
