852.236–89, Buy American Act. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0622. 

Type of Review: Extension of a

Abstract: The Buy American Act 

requires that only domestic construction

provisions and requires bidders who 

choose to submit a bid that includes 

foreign construction material to identify 

and list the price of such material. VA 

uses the information to determine 

whether to accept or not accept a bid 

that includes foreign construction 

material. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The Federal Register 

Notice with a 60-day comment period 

soliciting comments on this collection 

of information was published on 

January 14, 2011, at pages 2762–2763.

Dated: March 17, 2011.
