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 

inconsistent with the public interest; (2) 

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
