Abstract:

The USDOT waiver exempts small projects and de minimis costs from Buy America requirements, applying to manufactured products and construction materials, with thresholds of $1 million or 5% of project costs and $500,000 in federal aid. Non-compliance is based on manufacturing location and component content, with tracking of project costs, change orders, and separate steel and iron considerations essential for compliance.
