Except as provided in subsection (b), none of the amounts made available under this Act may be used for the construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of a project eligible for assistance under this title unless all of the iron, steel, and manufactured goods used in the project are produced in the United States. Subsection
(a)shall not apply in any case or category of cases in which the Secretary finds that— applying subsection
(a)would be inconsistent with the public interest; iron, steel, and the relevant manufactured goods are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities and of a satisfactory quality; or inclusion of iron, steel, and manufactured goods produced in the United States will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent. If the Secretary determines that it is necessary to waive the application of subsection
(a)based on a finding under subsection (b), the Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register a detailed written justification as to why the provision is being waived. This section shall be applied in a manner consistent with United States obligations under international agreements.
