Title 3— Proclamation 10234 of July 26, 2021

The President Made in America Week, 2021

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation Made in America Week recognizes a basic idea: when we spend taxpayer dollars, we should buy American products and support American jobs. The Congress passed the Buy American Act almost 90 years ago, but we have never fully lived up to this principle. During Made in America Week, we recognize that just as American manufacturing was the Arsenal of Democracy in World War II, American products and services must be part of the engine of American prosperity today. We also reject the defeatist view that the forces of automation and globalization mean we cannot have good-paying union jobs here in America. My Administration is making ‘‘Buy American’’ a policy, not just a promise. We are closing loopholes and strengthening standards to ensure that the future is made in all of America—by all of America’s workers—in every region, of every background, in services, manufacturing, and agriculture. That is why one of my first acts as President was to sign an Executive Order to tighten existing Buy American policies, and to lay out additional commitments to prevent big corporations and special interests from using loopholes to redirect American taxpayer dollars to foreign companies. And, I have named our Nation’s first-ever Made in America Director at our Office of Management and Budget. When we Buy American, we will buy from all of America. We will include communities that have historically been left out of Government procurement, Black, Brown, and Native American small businesses and entrepreneurs in every region of the country. We will use a federally funded, national network called the Manufacturing Extension Partnership to help government agencies connect with new domestic suppliers across the country. The COVID–19 pandemic demonstrated our need for greater manufacturing capacity in areas critical to public health, information and communications technology, and national defense. To build our economy back better, we must have an industrial strategy based on public investment in new technologies, including the domestic production of clean energy goods, critical medical supplies, and the innovative industries of the future. We must prioritize the creation of high skill, high value jobs that empower workers and pay family-supporting wages. We must reject short-termism, offshoring, and a race to the bottom. That is why my Administration is committed to using Made in America policies that give America’s workers and companies the tools they need to compete and lead globally for decades to come. We will send clear market signals so that entrepreneurs make the investments our Nation needs. We will ensure that Made in America preferences are applied consistently and transparently. We will gather data to reveal gaps in our industrial base, and work to close those gaps and boost our economy’s productive capacity. And we will ensure that diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility are at the center of all of these efforts.

My Administration will maximize the Federal Government’s use of goods, products, and materials produced in, and services offered in, the United States. These purchases will maximize our efforts to empower workers and strengthen unionization, tackle the climate crisis, and build and rebuild critical supply chains so that we will never again have to rely on imports from unreliable trading partners to combat threats to our public health. We will also reduce the need for waivers from Made in America rules by creating incentives for private investment in domestic supply chains in critical industries. As we focus on ‘‘Made in America,’’ we are committed to strengthening relationships with allies and trading partners. Resilient supply chains must have built in redundancies—a health crisis or natural disaster in one location must never again threaten the global economy. We must work with our trading partners to promote equitable growth, protect workers’ rights, and advance environmental justice globally. By using Made in America policies as one tool of many to rebuild our industrial base and strengthen critical supply chains, we will help put the American dream within reach for our Nation’s families today, and for generations to come. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim July 26 through July 30, 2021, as Made in America Week. I call upon all Americans to observe this week and to celebrate with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-sixth day of July, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-sixth.

Proclamation 10235 of July 26, 2021

National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day, 2021

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation The United States and the Republic of Korea are allies with a long history of shared sacrifice. In a call to defend freedom and democracy abroad, 1.8 million Americans joined the fight to protect our Korean Peninsula allies from the communist regimes in North Korea and The People’s Republic of China. In 1953, after 3 years of violent combat and millions of casualties, an armistice was signed by representatives of the United States, The People’s Republic of China, and North Korea. The armistice made possible the exchange of prisoners of war as well as an opportunity to negotiate a peaceful settlement. Almost 70 years later, that settlement still has not been reached, and the Korean Peninsula remains divided along the 38th parallel. Yet, the Republic of Korea has grown into a thriving, vibrant country, and the enduring relationship between our two nations has flourished through decades of peace. Today, we take this opportunity to honor, remember, and pay tribute to the Korean War veterans who fought to defend those universal values and freedoms that the people of South Korea enjoy today. American service members, along with our United Nations counterparts, fought through some of the most unforgiving terrain and weather conditions on the Korean Peninsula. Through searing summer heat, bitter winter cold, and torrential rains, our forces fought with relentless courage, resilience, and perseverance. In the mountains, valleys, and rice paddies, the battles fought and lives lost in Inchon, the Chosin Reservoir, Heartbreak Ridge, and the Pusan Perimeter, we remember their valor. Earlier this year, I had the great privilege of awarding the Medal of Honor to Colonel Ralph Puckett, Jr., USA (Ret.), a legend in the Army Ranger community, for his extraordinary selflessness and heroism during the Korean War in the Battle of Hill 205. His story, and those of all our veterans of the Korean War, remind every American the high price of freedom. We shall never forget the service members who made the ultimate sacrifice. On the National Mall at the Korean War Memorial, a Wall of Remembrance will be established to further honor and venerate the more than 36,000 American lives lost during the war, along with more than 7,000 Korean Augmentation to the United States Army soldiers who were killed in action. As a grateful Nation, we owe it to the families of the fallen to memorialize, commemorate, and pay tribute to the heroes who have given their lives for our Nation—and to uphold and honor the democratic values for which they fought. We must also always recognize the patriotism and service of our veterans and their families and caregivers, and uphold our sacred obligation to provide the support they need when they come home. Our commitment to protecting peace on the Korean Peninsula has endured and grown in the ensuing decades. We are immensely proud of our historic friendship and the trust we share with the Republic of Korea. The service and sacrifices of both our nations have left an indelible determination to sustain peace and promote regional stability. Training side-by-side with the Korean military, our Armed Forces abroad help keep the watch while proudly upholding the legacy of those serving before them. Our partnership

BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim July 27, 2021, as National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day. I call upon all Americans to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities that honor and give thanks to our distinguished Korean War Veterans.

Proclamation 10236 of July 26, 2021 Anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act, 2021

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation Thirty-one years ago, on July 26, 1990, our Nation moved closer to the fulfillment of its foundational promise when we passed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This landmark law affirms and protects the funda- mental rights of people with disabilities—the right to equal opportunity, economic self-sufficiency, independent living, and equitable participation in every aspect of American life. For more than three decades, the ADA has made our communities, our economy, and our country stronger and more vibrant. It has helped to uphold the dignity of the estimated 61 million Americans who live with a disability—in short, it is a triumph of American civil rights. I was enormously proud to co-sponsor the ADA, the passage of which was a testament not only to fearless advocacy, but to bipartisan progress. A Democratic bill signed by a Republican President, the ADA was made possible thanks in no small part to the passion and persistence of Senators Tom Harkin and Ted Kennedy and Congressmen Major Owens and Tony Coelho. I will never forget the moment just after the ADA’s passage, when Senator Harkin delivered a speech in American Sign Language from the Senate floor—a tribute to his older brother, Frank, who was deaf. That moment was an emotional reminder for all of us of just how personal and powerful the passage of the ADA would be for millions of American families. Despite the extraordinary progress we have made over the past 31 years, the fight for equitable access and inclusion is far from over. The COVID– 19 pandemic has compounded the longstanding inequities and biases that exist for people with disabilities; persistent discrimination and the inability to access services continues to threaten the health and well-being of far too many Americans. Throughout the pandemic, people with disabilities have faced heightened risks—particularly those who lack access to caregiver or support services, those who live in community homes, and the disproportionate share of people with disabilities employed in industries that suffered due to the pandemic. Children and students living with disabilities have also faced an especially challenging year, forced to navigate and adapt to online learning as the virus upended their usual school routines. As we work to finish the job of defeating COVID–19, my Administration is committed to building on the legacy of the ADA. The American Rescue Plan is providing funding to expand access to home- and community-based services under Medicaid, which will allow more people with disabilities to live safely and independently in their homes. My Build Back Better agenda would build on this by making significant investments in home- and community-based services for people with disabilities and older Ameri- cans. It will also spur the creation of quality jobs with good pay, good benefits, and the ability to organize and collectively bargain for caregivers. My Administration is also committed to advancing the rights of people with disabilities in the workplace to support economic self-sufficiency. I have proposed eliminating outdated provisions in the Fair Labor Standards Act that allow employers to pay workers with disabilities less than the

minimum wage. My proposal includes funding this transition with $2 billion to expand access to competitive, integrated employment opportunities for workers with disabilities. In addition, I am committed to making the Federal Government a model employer—including for people with disabilities— to set the gold standard for how best to support inclusion and provide appropriate accommodations. To that end, I recently signed an Executive Order to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in the Federal Workforce—a pledge to lead by example to promote economic stability and good paying jobs for Americans with disabilities. Before I became President, I promised that every policy my Administration pursued—from rebuilding our middle class, to fighting climate change, to achieving universal health coverage—would be created with the full inclusion and dignity of Americans with disabilities in mind. I am proud to say that since my first day in office, my Administration has delivered on that promise. As we celebrate the monumental legacy of the ADA, we recommit ourselves today to upholding and strengthening its protections—and continuing to advance equity, dignity, access, and inclusion together with the disability community as we build our Nation back better. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim July 26, 2021, the Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. I encourage Americans across our Nation to celebrate the 31st year of this civil rights law and the many contributions of individuals with disabilities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-sixth day of July, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-sixth.

Ventura County, CA ...... June 15, 2013 ...... 0.081 2010–2012 A On April 30, 2004 [69 FR 23858] and May 21, 2012 [77 FR 30088], EPA designated the entirety of Sheboygan County, WI, as nonattainment for the 1997 ozone NAAQS and 2008 ozone NAAQS, respectively. The EPA’s February 8, 2019, letter to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, finding that the area attained the revoked 1997 ozone NAAQS by the attainment date, applied the finding to the original full-county Sheboygan County, WI, area. On July 15, 2019, the EPA revised the original designation by splitting the Sheboygan County, WI, area for the revoked 1997 ozone NAAQS and the 2008 ozone NAAQS area into the separate Inland Sheboygan County, WI, and Shoreline Sheboygan Coun- ty, WI, areas [84 FR 33699, Jul. 15, 2019]. This change is reflected in 40 CFR 81.350 under ‘‘Wisconsin.’’ On April 26, 2020 [85 FR 23274] and May 12, 2020 [85 FR 28550], EPA proposed to redesignate the Inland Sheboygan, WI, area and Shoreline Sheboygan, WI, areas, respectively, to attainment of the 2008 ozone NAAQS. In those proposed rulemakings, EPA correctly indicated that redesignation for the more stringent 2008 ozone NAAQS would satisfy the obligation to adopt anti-backsliding requirements under the 1997 ozone NAAQS as codified at 40 CFR 51.1105(a)(1) and 40 CFR 51.1100(o). In the preamble to EPA’s July 10, 2020, final redesignation of the Inland Sheboygan, WI, area [85 FR 41400], EPA incorrectly stated that the revoked 1997 ozone NAAQS was not at issue in the redesignation, and upon EPA’s concurrent final redesignation of the Shoreline Sheboygan, WI, area [85 FR 41405], EPA failed to comment on any applicability to the revoked 1997 ozone NAAQS. In fact, as specified in EPA’s March 6, 2015 ‘‘SIP Requirements Rule’’ for the 2008 ozone NAAQS [80 FR 12264], approval of a request for redesignation to attainment for the 2008 ozone NAAQS signifies that the state has satisfied its obligations to adopt anti-backsliding requirements for the revoked 1997 ozone NAAQS.
