SUMMARY: Section 70913(a) of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act 
requires that the head of each Federal agency shall submit to the 
Office of Management and Budget and to Congress a report that 
identifies each Federal financial assistance program for infrastructure

on its website.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background: The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (known officially as 
the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act), signed by President Biden 
on November 15, 2021, includes the Build America, Buy America Act 
(BABA), which requires each agency to submit to OMB and Congress a 
report within 60 days of enactment that lists all Federal financial 
assistance programs for infrastructure administered by the agency and 
that identifies the programs that are ``deficient,'' as defined in the 
Act.
    DOT's report was developed in accordance with the requirements 
found in section 70913 of the BABA and OMB guidance issued on December 
20, 2021. It provides a listing of the Federal financial assistance 
programs for

infrastructure administered by DOT; a discussion of domestic preference 
laws and requirements that apply to those programs; and identifies 
those programs that are currently not fully consistent with the 
requirements of section 70914 of the BABA. The report provides 
information on the Federal financial assistance programs for 
infrastructure and associated Buy America(n) requirements administered 
by DOT and its operating administrations, including the Federal 
Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), 
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Federal Transit Administration 
(FTA), and the Maritime Administration (MARAD), as well as the Office 
of the Secretary (OST).
    The report is available online on the Department of Transportation 
website at https://www.transportation.gov/office-policy/transportation-policy/made-in-america/build-america-buy-america-60-day-report.
