Their questions , as relayed to NUCA by the White House , are :
A . What industry materials and specialized parts ( such as pipes , valves , fitting , etc .) are being affected by the infrastructure law ’ s “ Buy American ” requirements for construction materials ? Lists of materials / components are what the White House is seeking to understand this issue .
B . What supply chain issues are affecting your infrastructure projects today , and how are the “ Buy American ” regulations affecting their progress or completion ?
There are two ways you can help NUCA get this information to them :
2 . File an official public comment letter yourself answering these two questions . You can file your letter online at regulations . gov . To do so , please go to the government regulation website and click the comment button on the webpage . Please email a copy of any submissions to our government affairs team (
