Buy America Requirements for Federal Highway Projects
The Federal Highway Administration's “Buy America Act”
requires federally funded highway projects to use only
steel, iron, and manufactured products produced in the
United States.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's
NCHRP LRD 80: Buy America Requirements for Federal Highway Projects
summarizes the intent and application
of the provision. It also summarizes
the procedure that FHWA has implemented for granting
waivers and the impact that court interpretation of such
waivers has had on the industry.
