           CHAPTER 26--WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL
 
        SUBCHAPTER II--GRANTS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF TREATMENT WORKS
 
Sec. 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.
