emissions impact analysis that is consistent
with the current methodology used for evalu-
377

are met, a State may adopt the substitute measures
in the applicable implementation plan within a rea-
sonable period of time.

trol measure in accordance with this paragraph shall
not be contingent on the existence of any provision
in the applicable implementation plan that expressly
permits such substitution.

trol measure in accordance with this paragraph shall
not require—
‘‘(i) a new conformity determination for
the transportation plan, or

‘‘(E) A control measure that is being replaced
by a substitute control measure under this para-
graph shall remain in effect until the substitute con-
trol measure is adopted.

Transportation control measures may be added to an im-
plementation plan subject to subparagraphs (B), (C), and
(D), on the same basis as if such measures were substitute
transportation control measures if such measures do not
increase emissions for which limitations have been estab-
lished in an implementation plan, and such measures meet
the requirements of clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v) of sub-
paragraph (A).’’.

additional measures to either reduce motor vehicle
emissions sufficient to demonstrate compliance with
the requirements of this subsection within 12
months after such deadline or other measures suffi-
cient to correct such failures, the transportation
plan shall lapse.
‘‘(10) LAPSE.—The term ‘lapse’ means that the
conformity determination for a transportation plan

SEC. 1831. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that—
(1) the Buy America test required by Public
Law 97–424 needs to be applied to an entire bridge
project and not only to component parts of such
project;
(2) the law clearly states that domestic mate-
rials must be used in Federal highway projects un-
less there is a finding that the inclusion of domestic
materials will increase the cost of the overall project
by more than 25 percent;
(3) uncertainty regarding how to apply Buy
America laws for major bridge projects threatens the
domestic bridge industry;
(4) the Nation’s unemployment rate continues
to hover around 5.6 percent, steps are needed to
384
protect American workers and the domestic bridge
building industry; and
(5) the Buy America Act was designed to en-
sure that, when taxpayer money is spent on direct
Federal Government procurement and infrastructure
projects, these expenditures stimulate United States
production and job creation.
