SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
