Coalition Comments to FHWA on “Review of its General Applicability Wavier of Buy America Requirements for Manufactured Products"
The organizations signed below collectively submit the following comments to the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) “Review of its General Applicability Wavier of Buy America Requirements for Manufactured Products.” We appreciate the opportunity to share our perspective of this review as it relates to our construction materials. As the FHWA considers any changes to its General Applicability Waiver of Buy America Requirements for Manufactured Products, it is important to conform with the authorities contained in the Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) as related to our construction materials. The BABAA extended domestic content procurement preferences to construction materials, as that term was defined in BABAA. It is important to recognize the provisions of BABAA related to our construction materials.
