    Type:Notice
    Citation:89 FR 97703
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The U.S. Department of Transportation is proposing a waiver of certain Buy America requirements for transit-oriented development (TOD) housing projects financed through specific credit programs. This waiver would apply to projects that go through credit review before the end of 2025 and aims to balance the need for quick development with domestic content standards. They're encouraging public comments on this proposal. The waiver mainly affects requirements for manufactured products but retains standards for steel, iron, and construction materials.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Department of Transportation wants to make it easier and quicker for certain train station areas to have new homes built by allowing them to use some non-USA made parts, but they still have to use American steel and materials for big building parts. They are also asking people what they think about this idea.

  • 2024-31350 — Buy America Requirements for Manufactured Products
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 2932
    Reading Time:about 2 hours

    The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has issued a final rule that amends its existing Buy America requirements. This rule terminates the general waiver for manufactured products and applies new requirements to products used in Federal-aid highway projects, aligning with the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA). These requirements mandate that manufactured products must be assembled in the U.S., and beginning October 2026, at least 55% of their components by cost must also be of U.S. origin. The rule aims to bolster domestic manufacturing and create a more resilient supply chain.

    Simple Explanation

    The government has made a new rule that says things used to build roads with their help have to be mostly made in the USA, and by the year 2026, more than half of the parts need to come from the USA too. This is to help make things in the USA and keep jobs here.
