US EPA American Iron and Steel (AIS) Compliance

The Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) program is a federal-state partnership that provides communities low-cost financing for a wide range of water quality infrastructure projects. The Water Resource Reform and Development Act (WRRDA) requires CWSRF assistance recipients to use iron and steel products produced in the United States. This includes projects for constructing, altering, maintaining, or repairing public water systems or wastewater treatment works.

The term ‘iron and steel products’ denote products made primarily of iron or steel that are permanently incorporated into the project. All construction materials greater than 50% iron or steel by material cost must comply with these requirements. ‘Produced in the USA’ reflects all manufacturing processes, including, melting, refining, forming, rolling, drawing, finishing, fabricating, and coating.

Steelscape can provide steel that complies with American Iron and Steel (AIS) provisions. However, we must be informed when requesting a quote or prior to order entry if the order must comply with any domestic content regulations, as additional lead times and costs may apply. Please specify that domestic steel is required and clearly indicate this on any quote requests or purchase orders.

For assistance with sourcing provisions not outlined in this letter, or for guidance on changes to federal sourcing requirements, please contact your Sales Representative, or Steelscape directly at (888) 553-5521 or at productinfo@steelscape.com.

Sincerely,
