The Biden administration on Friday issued guidance to federal agencies that aims to streamline the implementation of the president's "Made in America" executive order.

The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) sent a memo to federal agencies and department heads outlining how the administration will seek to reduce waivers and increase transparency so the federal government outsources its manufacturing needs less often.

Friday's memo requires agencies to designate a senior official by June 30 who will coordinate with Drake and the Made in America Office and strategize how to increase its use of American manufacturing.

The memo also includes guidance for agencies that wish to submit waivers to work around the Made in America order in an effort to cut down on the need for exemptions.

As part of efforts to increase transparency, the administration will maintain a public database that displays all proposed waivers for Made in America laws.
