SUBCHAPTER II--GRANTS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF TREATMENT WORKS
Sec. 1295. Requirements for American materials
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no grant for which
application is made after February 1, 1978, shall be made under this
subchapter for any treatment works unless only such unmanufactured
articles, materials, and supplies as have been mined or produced in the
United States, and only such manufactured articles, materials, and
supplies as have been manufactured in the United States, substantially
all from articles, materials, or supplies mined, produced, or
manufactured, as the case may be, in the United States will be used in
such treatment works. This section shall not apply in any case where the
Administrator determines, based upon those factors the Administrator
deems relevant, including the available resources of the agency, it to
be inconsistent with the public interest (including multilateral
government procurement agreements) or the cost to be unreasonable, or if
articles, materials, or supplies of the class or kind to be used or the
articles, materials, or supplies from which they are manufactured are
not mined, produced, or manufactured, as the case may be, in the United
States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities and
of a satisfactory quality.
