The U.S. Department of Transportation made a grant of $14 million in Fiscal Year 2013 under the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program to upgrade the rail connection at the Port of Pascagoula Bayou Harbor to make the transportation of goods in and out of the Port more efficient. The TIGER program was originally established under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA, Public Law 111-5). Grants under this program are subject to Buy America rules, including those set by section 1605 of the ARRA.
The HS codes monitored by the OECD Steel Committee are used to approximate the iron and steel products procured for this project.
