Appendix—Report to Congress 

Identifying all Federal Financial 

Assistance Programs for Infrastructure 

Administered by the Department of 

Education 

March 2022 

Preface 

The Report to Congress Identifying all 

Federal Financial Assistance Programs for 

Infrastructure Administered by the U.S. 

Department of Education identifies the 

Department of Education’s (Department’s) 

Federal financial assistance programs 

(programs) that allow for grant funds to be 

used for infrastructure projects, and 

identifies those programs that are 

inconsistent with section 70914 of the 

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Pub. 

L. 117–58 (that is, they do not require that all 

of the iron, steel, manufactured products, and 

construction materials used in the project be 

produced in the United States; do not issue 

waivers to this requirement; or are subject to 

waivers of general applicability). 

The report consists of a Summary section 

that addresses whether the Department’s 

programs identified in the report include 

domestic content procurement preferences 

and provides details on any applicable 

domestic content procurement preference. 

The Summary section also addresses whether 

programs have waiver provisions to these 

preferences in place or are subject to waivers 

of general applicability. The report also 

includes Exhibits listing the Department 

programs that allow for grant funds to be 

used for infrastructure projects. The Exhibits 

include the Department’s program office 

names, the program titles, the Assistance 

Listing Numbers (ALNs); the award types; 

and the type of infrastructure activity 

permitted under the programs (that is, 

construction and/or broadband infrastructure 

activities). 

Section I. Summary 

This report is submitted in accordance 

with section 70913 of the Infrastructure 

Investment and Jobs Act Public Law 117–58 

(the Act or IIJA), which requires Federal 

agencies to submit to Congress and the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB), and 

publish in the Federal Register, a report 

listing all Federal financial assistance 

programs for infrastructure administered by 

Federal agencies. The report must identify 

those programs that do not have an 

established domestic content procurement 

preference for which Federal financial 

assistance may not be obligated unless: (1) 

All iron and steel used in the project will be 

produced in the United States; (2) the 

manufactured products used in the project 

will be produced in the United States; or (3) 

the construction materials used in the project 

will be produced in the United States. These 

requirements are defined and established in 

sections 70912(2) and 70914 of the Act. 

Additionally, the report must identify which 

of those programs that have established 

domestic content procurement preferences in 

place also allow waivers to these preferences 

or allow for waivers of general applicability 

to be issued (see section 70914(b)(c) and (d) 

of the Act). 

The Department’s financial assistance 

programs provide services from early 

intervention services to employment training 

programs. Many of these programs provide 

grants to states or local educational agencies 

and support students and families from 

vulnerable populations, including children 

with disabilities and those from 

disadvantaged backgrounds. These programs 

also provide grants and loans to 

postsecondary students and facilitate 

research that examines ways that states, 

schools, districts, and postsecondary 

institutions can improve America’s education 

system. Generally, grants under these 

programs do not engage in infrastructure; 

specifically, they do not acquire real property 

or engage in construction activities, in 

accordance with prohibitions in the 

Education Department General 

Administrative Regulations sections 75.533 

and 76.533. 

Although these programs are generally not 

focused on funding infrastructure, a number 

of the Department’s programs do authorize 

infrastructure projects in their statutes or 

regulations. Three Department program 

offices, the Office of Elementary and 

Secondary Education (OESE), the Office of 

Postsecondary Education (OPE), and the 

Office of Special Education and 

Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), administer 

programs that could allow for infrastructure 

projects primarily in accordance with 

subparagraph (K) of the ‘‘infrastructure’’ 

definition established in section 70912(5) of 

the Act. A smaller number of programs allow 

infrastructure projects under subparagraph 

(J). A total of 38 programs are identified 

within this report. Section 70912(5) of the 

Act provides that: 

(5) INFRASTRUCTURE. The term 

‘‘infrastructure’’ includes, at a minimum, the 

structures, facilities, and equipment for, in 

the United States— 

(A) roads, highways, and bridges; 

(B) public transportation; 

(C) dams, ports, harbors, and other 

maritime facilities; 

(D) intercity passenger and freight 

railroads; 

(E) freight and intermodal facilities; 

(F) airports; 

(G) water-systems, including drinking 

water and wastewater systems; 

(H) electrical transmission facilities and 

systems; 

(I) utilities; 

(J) broadband infrastructure; and 

(K) buildings and real property. 

While the identified programs may be 

considered infrastructure programs in 

accordance with subparagraphs (J) and (K) of 

this definition, generally their focus is not 

primarily infrastructure. Most projects 

awarded Federal financial assistance under 

these programs focus on other allowable and 

required activities and do not engage in 

infrastructure activities. 

Although the identified programs do not 

have domestic content procurement 

preferences established in program statute 

and regulations, and thus do not provide for 

waivers of such requirements, the 

Department supports the administration’s 

efforts of strengthening the use of Federal 

financial assistance to support American 

manufacturing by ensuring that the following 

as established in 2 CFR 200.322 is applicable 

to projects funded under the identified 

programs: 

(a) As appropriate and to the extent 

consistent with law, the non-Federal entity 

should, to the greatest extent practicable 

under a Federal award, provide a preference 

for the purchase, acquisition, or use of goods, 

products, or materials produced in the 

United States (including but not limited to 

iron, aluminum, steel, cement, and other 

manufactured products). The requirements of 

this section must be included in all 

subawards including all contracts and 

purchase orders for work or products under 

this award. 

(b) For purposes of this section: 

(1) ‘‘Produced in the United States’’ means, 

for iron and steel products, that all 

manufacturing processes, from the initial 

melting stage through the application of 

coatings, occurred in the United States. 

(2) ‘‘Manufactured products’’ means items 

and construction materials composed in 

whole or in part of non-ferrous metals such 

as aluminum; plastics and polymer-based 

products such as polyvinyl chloride pipe; 

aggregates such as concrete; glass, including 

optical fiber; and lumber. 

By referencing 2 CFR 200.322 within the 

Grant Award Notifications it issues to 

grantees under these programs, the 

Department requires compliance with 2 CFR 

200.322. 

This report reflects the Department’s initial 

analysis of programs and associated Buy 

America requirements. After OMB develops 

and releases implementation guidance 

subject to section 70915 of the Act, the 

Department 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. This initial analysis is 

based on the Department’s current 

understanding of information contained in 

the law and information received to date 

from OMB regarding the implementation of 

IIJA section 70915. The Department’s 

intention was to be inclusive of all programs 

that could potentially fall under these 

requirements, but this initial analysis is 

subject to change upon further evaluation by 

the Department and new guidance from 

OMB. 

Section II. Exhibits 

For each reported program, the Exhibits 

that follow identify the program office 

names, the program titles, the ALNs, the 

award types; and the type of infrastructure 

activity permitted under the programs (that 

is, construction and/or broadband 

infrastructure activities).
