Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about EPA’s Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program may be sent to cleanhdvehicles@epa.gov. Responses to all questions are made publicly available in a Questions and Answers document.
BABA Requirements for CHDV Grantees
The Build America, Buy America Act (pdf) (221 KB), enacted as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, requires the application of domestic preference requirements to infrastructure projects funded by Federal financial assistance issued on or after May 14, 2022.
The CHDV Grant Program is subject to the requirements under Section 70912(5) (pdf) (221 KB) of the Act. The domestic sourcing requirements apply to all Federal financial assistance where funds are appropriated or otherwise made available and used for project infrastructure. 2 CFR Part 184 clarifies that infrastructure encompasses, at a minimum, the “structures, facilities, and equipment” for projects including roads, highways, and bridges; public transportation; and utilities. Infrastructure also includes structures, facilities, and equipment that generate, transport, and distribute energy including electric vehicle charging.
EPA has determined that school buses are exempt from BABA requirements. While school buses purchased under the CHDV Program are not required to be BABA compliant, EPA strongly encourages applicants to select domestically produced products. EPA Project Officers can provide additional information to grantees on the applicability of BABA provisions to vocational vehicle projects.
For more information on BABA applicability, including applying for project-level waivers, please refer to the EPA’s Build America, Buy America website. Additional BABA-related questions may be directed to: BABA-OTAQ@epa.gov.
Technical Assistance Resources
EPA has partnered with the National Laboratory of the Rockies to provide free technical assistance to CHDV Program participants. Please contact cleanhdvehiclesTA@nlr.gov with any technical assistance inquiries.
