OMB Issues Proposed Guidance on Requirement for U.S.-Produced Construction Materials in Infrastructure Projects
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued proposed guidance aimed at standardizing the implementation of the Build America, Buy America (BABA) provision of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
According to Wiley Law, the proposed rule includes a number of proposed changes to the federal grant rules, which largely reflect the initial implementing guidance contained in OMB’s Initial Implementation Guidance on Application of Buy America Preference in Federal Financial Assistance Programs for Infrastructure, which was issued in April 2022.
The proposed rule was issued February 9, 2023. Comments on the proposed rule are due on March 13, 2023.
