American Iron & Steel

The American Iron and Steel (AIS) provision requires Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) assistance recipients to use iron and steel products that are produced in the United States. This requirement applies to projects for the construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of a public water system or treatment works.

For additional information regarding the AIS requirement, see the State Water Board Guidance on AIS Compliance or Environmental Protection Agency's website.

Once reviewed for concurrence, State SRF Project Managers can then send the waiver request to DFA Compliance and Surveillance Unit.
