The "Paving the Way for American Industry Act" proposes to amend the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act , specifically targeting the Build America, Buy America Act provisions related to construction materials. Its primary goal is to expand the definition of what constitutes a "construction material" to include certain yellow organic pigments . For these pigments to qualify, the bill mandates that all manufacturing processes, from the initial combination of materials through the chemical reaction resulting in the synthesized pigment, must occur entirely within the United States . This requirement applies immediately to pigments used in water-based paints for road, highway, or airport surface markings, and will extend to all formulas containing such pigments two years after the bill's enactment. Furthermore, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget will be required to update relevant guidance within 90 days to reflect these new requirements.
