Part 2 

DOE is interested in identifying issues 

related to the Buy American provisions 

that may not be well understood by 

grantees. DOE requests information as to 

the areas of the Buy American 

provisions for which grantees have 

questions. It is not the intent of this 

request to provide responses to the 

questions submitted. DOE intends only 

to rely on the questions submitted for 

the purpose of potentially developing 

future guidance, should such guidance 

be necessary. 

EERE is seeking information on 

programmatic questions relating to the 

applicability and/or implementation of 

the Buy American provisions of the 

Recovery Act in general, in specific 

projects, and/or in relation to individual 

technologies that may be deployed by 

recipients of financial assistance under 

EERE Recovery Act-funded programs. 

(Examples of programmatic questions 

might include: What is the definition of 

a ‘‘manufactured good?’’ Are solar panels 

installed on public buildings subject to 

the Buy American provisions? Do goods 

covered by NAFTA and produced in a 

NAFTA country satisfy the Buy 

American requirements? If Recovery Act 

funds are leveraged alongside private or 

philanthropic capital to increase the 

size or scope of a public project, do the 

Buy American provisions apply to the 

entire project or just the activities 

funded by Recovery Act dollars?) The 

format by which to submit 

programmatic questions is outlined in 

the paragraph below. 

Submission Format: Please articulate, 

in as clear and concise language as 

possible, the exact question(s) you have 

regarding the applicability and 

implementation of the Recovery Act 

Buy American provisions under 

programs of the DOE EERE office. If 

your question relates to a specific 

project with unique circumstances 

please provide the relevant details. 

Multiple questions may be submitted, 

separated as individual paragraphs in 

the Word document. Please limit 

submissions to two (2) pages. 

A response to this RFI will not be 

viewed as a binding commitment to 

develop or pursue the ideas discussed. 

DOE will not pay for information 

provided under this RFI. This RFI is not 

accepting applications for financial 

assistance or financial incentives. DOE 

has no obligation to respond to those 

who submit comments or questions, 

and/or give any feedback on any 

decision made based on the comments 

received. DOE thanks you for your 

assistance and comments in helping to 

achieve the goals of the Recovery Act.

have been stored, processed, treated, or 

otherwise managed at the facility. The 

types of businesses most likely to be 

subject to the standard include, but are 

not limited to: organic liquid storage 

terminals, petroleum refineries, 

chemical manufacturing facilities, and 

manufacturing facilities using organic 

materials.
