Parkson products manufactured domestically can meet BABA
provisions as published
FORT
LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 8, 2022
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
("IIJA"), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and which
includes the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA, "the Act"), was
signed into legislation on November 15,
2021. Parkson Corporation has reviewed and analyzed the
IIJA, and we are confident in our ability to meet BABA provisions
without changes to how we have historically conducted business.
According to the IIJA, $55B in
funding will be allocated to the drinking water, wastewater, and
storm water infrastructure sector. Federally funded projects
require the domestic manufacture of iron and steel, manufactured
products, and construction materials. Specific to manufactured
products, the act requires:
(1) All manufactured products used in the project are produced
in the U.S.
(2) The cost of the components of the manufactured product that
is mined, produced, or manufactured in the U.S. is greater than 55%
of the total cost of all components of the manufactured
product.
Parkson products, classified as manufactured products, are
historically fabricated at domestic facilities throughout
the United States using U.S.
sourced steel and materials. We have long taken pride in bringing
equipment made in the USA to
market using locally sourced raw materials whenever possible. We
are also actively engaging with the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) in response to IIJA in the form of listening sessions
and providing input to EPA's waiver applications.
Upon request, Parkson can provide a compliance certificate to
any customers. For further information or any questions, please do
not hesitate to contact us.
