## Summary

**Prioritize U.S.-made yellow organic pigments for road, highway, and airport marking paints.** This bill would add yellow organic pigments that are fully manufactured in the United States to the Build America, Buy America Act as a new covered category, with definitions focused on the chemical reaction step happening in the U.S. - Domestic pigment manufacturers would be treated as producing qualifying Buy America material when all manufacturing steps, including the chemical reaction that forms the pigment, occur in the United States. - Road, highway, and airport paint buyers and contractors would see Buy America rules apply immediately to pigments used in water-based marking paints and broadly to pigments included in all marking paint formulas two years after enactment. - Paint formulators would need to ensure the pigment’s full manufacturing process and the specified chemical reaction occur in the U.S. for the pigment to qualify under Buy America. - Federal procurement offices would get updated direction because the Director of the Office of Management and Budget must revise relevant guidance, including Made in America Office implementation guidance, within 90 days.
