## Summary

**Strengthening Buy America compliance and public transparency** would push federally funded infrastructure to use U.S.-made materials and require agencies to report on compliance and waivers. - Agency heads would submit reports to the Made in America Office and to Congress within 60 days and annually. Reports must list federal infrastructure programs, say which meet section 70914, and give steps and timelines to achieve full implementation for programs that do not. - It frames a congressional policy that projects should use materials and products made in the United States by U.S. businesses and U.S. workers to create jobs, strengthen supply chains, and boost national security. - The bill discourages broad, general-application waivers and urges agencies to use ad hoc, product-specific waivers when justified, and it requires all Buy America waivers to be publicly posted on the Made in America Office website.
