SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

1605(a) of the Recovery Act provides 

that none of the funds appropriated or 

made available by the Recovery Act may 

be used for a project for the 

construction, alteration, maintenance, or 

repair of a public building or public 

work unless all of the iron, steel, and 

manufactured goods used in the project 

are produced in the United States. 

Section 1605(b) provides that the Buy 

American requirement shall not apply 

in any case or category in which the 

head of a Federal department or agency 

finds that: (1) Applying the Buy 

American requirement would be

iron, steel, and the relevant 

manufactured goods are not produced in 

the U.S. in sufficient and reasonably 

available quantities or of satisfactory 

quality, or (3) inclusion of iron, steel, 

and manufactured goods will increase 

the cost of the overall project by more 

than 25 percent. Section 1605(c) 

provides that if the head of a Federal 

department or agency makes a 

determination pursuant to section 

1605(b), the head of the department or 

agency shall publish a detailed written 

justification in the Federal Register.
