Background 

FHWA’s Buy America regulation in 

23 CFR 635.410 requires a domestic 

manufacturing process for any steel or 

iron products (including protective 

coatings) that are permanently 

incorporated in a Federal-aid 

construction project. The FHWA also 

applies its Buy America requirements to 

predominantly steel and iron 

manufactured products and 

predominantly steel and iron 

components of manufactured products. 

This means that for all predominantly 

steel or iron materials, products, or 

components delivered to a project site 

for permanent incorporation into a 

highway project using Title 23, U.S.C. 

funds, all manufacturing processes, 

including application of a coating, must 

occur in the United States. FHWA’s Buy 

America regulation also provides for a 

waiver of the Buy America requirements 

when satisfactory quality domestic steel 

and iron products are not produced in 

the United States in sufficient and 

reasonably available quantities. 

Background on the Waiver Items: 

IDOT requested a Buy America waiver 

for 4 main submersible pumps with a 

discharge capacity of 3,000 gpm each
