To waive certain provisions in the case of an emergency declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act.

This bill would stop the Federal Emergency Management Agency from requiring Puerto Rico, Washington D.C., American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands to buy American-made goods during emergencies. Currently, Buy American requirements mean these places must use goods that are mined, produced, or made in the United States. The bill would remove this requirement when there is an emergency declaration.
