                    On November 15, 2021, President Biden signed into law the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which includes the “Build America, Buy America Act” (Act). The Act ensures that Federal infrastructure programs require the use of materials produced in the United States, increases the requirement for American-made content, and strengthens the waiver process associated with Buy American provisions. The Act requires that within 60 days of its enactment, January 14, 2022, each federal agency must submit to the Office of Management and Budget and Congress a report (60-day report) listing all Federal financial assistance programs for infrastructure administered by the agency. In these 60-day reports, agencies are required to identify and provide a list of which of these programs are “deficient,” as defined in the Act. These agency reports must also be published in the                     **Federal Register**                    .                

                    The DOC report satisfies the requirements of section 70913 of the Act and is accessible at:                     *https://www.commerce.gov/​oam/​policy/​financial-assistance-policy.*
