NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION 

Identification of Federal Financial 

Assistance Infrastructure Programs 

Subject to the Build America, Buy 

America Provisions of the 

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act 

AGENCY: National Science Foundation. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Division of Acquisition 

and Cooperative Support within the 

National Science Foundation (NSF) is 

publishing this notice to advise the 

public of the report that reflects the 

National Science Foundation’s analysis 

of financial assistance-funded 

infrastructure programs and associated 

Build America, Buy America 

requirements. NSF has focused on 

infrastructure related to science and 

education programs. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Patrick Breen, Division Director, 

Division of Acquisition and Cooperative 

Support, National Science Foundation. 

Phone: 703–292–7719; email: pkbreen@

nsf.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: After 

OMB releases implementation guidance 

subject to section 70915 of the 

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, 

the National Science Foundation will 

work closely with OMB to ensure that 

appropriate agency programs that are 

subject to Build America, Buy America 

requirements are administered with 

those requirements in place and will 

adhere to forthcoming OMB guidance. 

This analysis is subject to change upon 

further evaluation. 

In accordance with Section 70913 of 

the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs 

Act (IIJA), which includes the ‘‘Build 

America, Buy America Act’’ (the Act), 

the National Science Foundation (NSF) 

is submitting the following information 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) and Congress. Additionally, NSF 

will publish this report in the Federal 

Register. 

Background 

On November 15, 2021, President 

Biden signed into law the Infrastructure 

Investment and Jobs Act, which 

includes the ‘‘Build America, Buy 

America Act’’. This Act requires 

agencies submit to the OMB and 

Congress a report within 60 days of its 

enactment, January 14, 2022, listing all 

Federal financial assistance programs 

for infrastructure administered by the 

agency. As required by the Act, this 

report will also be published in the 

Federal Register. 

In accordance with the Act, NSF’s 60- 

day report includes the following 

information: 

1. Identification of all domestic 

content procurement preferences 

applicable to Federal financial 

assistance; 

2. An assessment of the application of 

the domestic content procurement 

preference requirements; 

3. Details on any applicable domestic 

content procurement preference 

requirement, including the purpose, 

scope, applicability, and any exceptions 

and waivers issued under the 

requirement; 

4. A description of the type of 

infrastructure projects that receive 

funding under the program; and 

5. Identification and evaluation of all 

infrastructure programs to determine if 

they are inconsistent with section 70914 

of the Act. 

1. Domestic Content Procurement 

Preference Applicable to Federal 

Financial Assistance Issued by NSF 

Grants 

NSF has implemented one article in 

its Grant General Conditions (GC–1). 

Article 44, Domestic Preference for 

Procurements, notifies awardees of the 

applicability of 2 CFR 200.322, entitled 

Domestic Preferences for Procurements. 

The Article, and the reference to 2 CFR 

200.322, ensure that recipients provide 

preference for the purchase, acquisition, 

or use of goods, products, or materials 

produced in the United States. These 

items include, but are not limited to, 

iron, aluminum, steel, cement, and 

other manufactured products. 

Cooperative Agreements 

NSF has implemented two articles in 

its Cooperative Agreement Financial 

and Administrative Terms and 

Conditions (CA–FATC). 

Article 45, Domestic Preference for 

Procurements, notifies awardees of the 

applicability of 2 CFR 200.322, entitled 

Domestic Preferences for Procurements. 

The Article, and the reference to 2 CFR 

200.322, ensure that recipients provide 

preference for the purchase, acquisition, 

or use of goods, products, or materials 

produced in the United States. These 

items include, but are not limited to, 

iron, aluminum, steel, cement, and 

other manufactured products. 

Article 46, Made in America, applies 

to major facility construction stage 

awards and mid-scale research 

infrastructure implementation awards 

greater than $20 million and notifies 

these awardees that they must retain 

appropriate documentation to 

substantiate any circumstance where the 

awardee has deemed a U.S. preference 

is not feasible in acquiring goods,
