AISI Applauds Buy America Guidance

April 22, 2022
No Comments

Kevin Dempsey, president and CEO of the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), issued the following statement in response to the White House announcement of initial guidance to federal agencies implementing the Build America, Buy America Act. “We appreciate the commitment of the Biden-Harris administration to ensure that all federally funded infrastructure and public works projects use iron, steel and other products that are made in America,” Dempsey said. “As some federal programs do not apply Buy America requirements for the procurement of iron and steel products, we are pleased that today’s initiative begins the process to remedy this situation by providing clear guidance to federal agencies for adopting appropriate Buy America requirements for all federally funded infrastructure projects.”

White House to Review Transportation Projects Under 1978 Law

Omar S. Nashashibi
April 21, 2022
No Comments

On April 19, 2022, the White House Council on Environmental Quality took the first steps to revoke a Trump rule reforming the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for the first time and revert it to its original 1978 state. NEPA is the most significant environmental regulation when it comes to approval of infrastructure projects from highways to oil and natural gas, and even solar and wind. The Trump rule sought to reduce the environmental review period down to two years and limit the filing to 150 pages, down from 300 under the original NEPA, which could take five years.

April 11, 2022
No Comments

Labor Department Working on Overtime Rule

April 7, 2022
No Comments

In 2021, the U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) put the business community on notice that it intended to increase the overtime exemption threshold, which determines the salary level for when employees are eligible to time and a half based on a 40-hour workweek. In 2019, the Trump administration announced an increase in the overtime threshold from $23,660 to $35,568. Sources indicate the Biden administration could potentially raise the level to $53,000-58,000, with some outside advocacy groups calling for figures exceeding an $80,000 annual salary.

U.S. Congress Moving to Cut Off Russia

Omar S. Nashashibi
March 11, 2022
No Comments

In an unprecedented step, the U.S. Congress is exploring legislation to revoke Permanent Normal Trade Relations status for Russia in an effort to remove them from the 164-member World Trade Organization (WTO). Legislation to effectively end all trade with Russia and Belarus has bipartisan support and would ban the little oil the U.S. imports from Russia and authorize the White House to impose tariffs on Russian-made goods. This is in addition to roughly $11 billion in direct financial support for Ukraine the U.S. Congress is expected to pass in the coming week.
