Oles Morrison – On June 11, 2021, the Office of Management and Budget Acting Director Shalanda Young issued a memorandum to heads of executive departments and agencies providing initial guidance regarding the Made in America Office’s implementation of President Biden’s January 25th executive order.  The purpose of the memorandum is to “strengthen internal agency waiver review processes, prepare for and support a centralized strategic waiver review process at the MIAO, and increase reliance on domestic manufacturers and domestic vessels.”  A significant goal of the EO and this memorandum is to minimize waivers of the various  “Made in America” requirements.
