Such a justification may cite, if applicable,the absence of any Buy America-compliant bids received in response to a solicitation. o Anticipated impact if no waiver is issued. o Any relevant comments received through the public comment period. The purpose of the information is to ensure that HUD has adequate information to perform due diligence,that MIAO has sufficient information to determine whether the proposed waiver is consistent with law and policy, and that sufficient information is available for public review. Information provided for public review should help interested manufacturers gauge the demand for products for which agencies are considering waiving a Buy America preference. Once HUD has reviewed all required information, it will notify OMB's MIAO. The purpose of this consultation is for the MIAO to identify any opportunities to structure the waiver to maximize the use of goods,products, and materials produced in the United States to the greatest extent possible consistent with law. Following this consultation with MIAO, HUD is required to post the proposed waiver on its BABA website with a detailed written explanation of the proposed determination to issue the waiver and must provide at least 15 days for public comment. General applicability waivers require a minimum 30-day public comment period. Once the public comment period ends, HUD will submit the proposed waiver to MIAO to determine if the waiver is consistent with applicable law and policy. The MIAO will notify the agency of its determination of the proposed waiver. Only after this process has been completed may the HUD issue the waiver. Applying for a HUD Specific Waiver Prior to seeking a waiver, grantees should determine if and how BABA applies and follow measures to maximize compliance with the BAP based on the above guidance. At this time, HUD's BABA waiver process is as follows: 1. Contact CPDBABAghud.gov for BABA technical assistance as needed. 2. Prepare a"Build America Buy America Waiver Request"with the information required by the MIAO. 19
