Summary:

Provides background on Buy America, which refers to several statutes and regulations that apply to Federal funds used to support projects in highways, public transportation, intercity passenger rail, including Amtrak, and aviation, and requires the use of U.S.-made iron and steel and the domestic production and assembly of other manufactured goods. Examines effects of Buy America on the iron and steel manufacturing, rolling stock manufacturing, and transportation system, in the context of industry trends. Identifies policy options in light of recent legislative proposals, such as H.R. 3385, the American Pipeline Jobs and Safety Act of 2015, to broaden the applicability of Buy America requirements to federally regulated pipelines that receive no Federal funding.
