Section 54101 of title 46, United States Code, is amended— by striking subsection
(b)and inserting the following: In providing assistance under the program, the Administrator shall take into account— the economic circumstances and conditions of maritime communities; projects that would be effective in fostering efficiency, competitive operations, and quality ship construction, repair, and reconfiguration; and projects that would be effective in fostering employee skills and enhancing productivity. Except as provided in subparagraph (B), the Administrator shall award grants under this section not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of the appropriations Act for the fiscal year concerned. If a grant is awarded under this section and, for any reason, the grant funds, or any portion thereof, are not used by the grantee— such funds shall remain available until expended; and the Administrator may use such unused funds to award, in any fiscal year, another grant under this section to an applicant who submitted an application under the initial or any subsequent notice of availability of funds. ; and in subsection (c), by adding at the end the following: Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary of Transportation shall not obligate any funds authorized to be appropriated to carry out this chapter unless the steel, iron, and manufactured products used in such project are produced in the United States. The provisions of subparagraph
(A)shall not apply if the Secretary finds that— their application would be inconsistent with the public interest; such materials and products are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities and of a satisfactory quality; or inclusion of domestic material will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent. .
