    This subpart implements section 307 of the Omnibus Consolidated 
Appropriations Act of 1997 (Public Law 104-208, 110 Stat. 3009) and 
section 501 of the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act, 1997 
(Public Law 104-206, 110 Stat. 2984). For awards made under the 
authority of section 307(a) of Public Law 104-208, this subpart requires 
that no funds made available in the Act may be expended by an entity 
unless the entity agrees that in expending the funds the entity will 
comply with sections 2 through 4 of the Act of March 3, 1933 (41 U.S.C. 
10a-10c; popularly known as the ``Buy American Act''). It applies to 
procurement contracts under grants and cooperative agreements which 
provide for the purchase of equipment and products. Section 501 of 
Public Law 104-206, 110 Stat. 2984, only applies to awards made by the 
Bureau of Reclamation. In addition, for these awards, there is only a 
requirement that in providing financial assistance to, or entering into 
any contract with, any entity using funds made available in this Act, 
the Secretary, to the greatest extent practicable, will provide to the 
entity a notice describing a statement within the Act made by Congress. 
This statement concerns the sense of the Congress that to the greatest 
extent practicable, all equipment and products purchased with funds made 
available in the Act, should be American-made. Therefore, for Fiscal 
Year 1997 awards, only the requirements in Section 12.700 and 12.710 
will apply to awards made by the Bureau of Reclamation.
