US to require locally manufactured gypsum wallboard in infrastructure projects

US: The White House has released proposed guidance mandating the use of locally manufactured building materials in government-funded infrastructure projects. President Joe Biden made the announcement in his State of the Union address on 7 February 2023, according to Reuters. The new proposed guidance has been released by the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and will be controlled by the House of Congress under the US$1Tn 2021 infrastructure law.

During his address Biden said, “When we do these projects... we’re going to buy American." He added, “It's totally consistent with international trade rule." He cited lumber, glass, wallboard and fibre optic cables during the speech. The OMB later added plastic and polymer-based products to this list. It is also seeking input on whether to include additional construction materials such as paint, bricks and engineered wood products
