Search 33 U.S.C. § 1295 : US Code - Section 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.
