multi-agency comprehensive plan to expand domestic rail and transit
vehicle supply chains with involvement from other applicable Federal
agencies or industry consortiums--
            (1) to identify United States manufacturers currently

Strengthening Manufacturing and Rebuilding Transit Act of 2010 or SMART Act - Requires the Secretary of Transportation (DOT) to give preference to the award of discretionary or competitive grants, loans, loan guarantees, and lines of credit to transportation infrastructure projects, including the purchase of transit vehicle rolling stock, rail, and supporting equipment, in which manufactured goods to be purchased have a domestic content percentage that: (1) exceeds applicable federal requirements; and (2) in the case of rolling stock, is consistent with industry-recognized standards, if available.

Directs the Secretary to establish a centralized website that provides rules and guidance, waiver notices, and agency actions of the domestic content standards (Buy America) for DOT federal-aid programs.

Requires a federal agency head to subject to public notice and comment any request for waiver, and to publication in the Federal Register and notification to Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) of any waiver, of Buy America requirements involving: (1) federal-aid highway and public transportation projects, (2) AMTRAK acquisition and maintenance of equipment and facilities, and (3) intercity passenger rail service corridor capital assistance projects.

Directs the DOT Inspector General to report annually to Congress on acquisitions funded by federal transportation infrastructure investments that do not comply with Buy American requirements.

Authorizes the Secretary to work with the Hollings Manufacturing Partnership Program and other manufacturing-related local intermediaries to develop a multi-agency comprehensive plan to expand domestic manufacturer rail and transit vehicle supply chains.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Currently, overall unemployment in Northern Ireland is
        approximately 13 percent, as compared to 9 percent in the rest
        of the United Kingdom.
            (2) Unemployment in the minority community in Northern
        Ireland is 16 percent (22 percent for males and 8 percent for
        females), and in some portions of the minority community
        unemployment has historically exceeded 70 percent.
            (3) The British Government Fair Employment Commission
        (F.E.C.), formerly the Fair Employment Agency (F.E.A.), has
        consistently reported that a member of the minority community
        is two times more likely to be unemployed than a member of the
        majority community.
            (4) The Investor Responsibility Research Center (IRRC),
        Washington, District of Columbia, lists more than 90 United
        States companies doing business in Northern Ireland, which
        employ approximately 11,000 individuals.
            (5) The religious minority population of Northern Ireland
        is subject to discriminatory hiring practices by some United
        States businesses.
            (6) The MacBride Principles are a nine point set of
        guidelines for fair employment in Northern Ireland which
        establishes a corporate code of conduct to promote equal access
        to regional employment but does not require disinvestment,
        quotas, or reverse discrimination.

    An article from Northern Ireland may not be entered, or withdrawn

        procedures do not favor a particular religious group.
            (6) Abolishing job reservations, apprenticeship
        restrictions, and differential employment criteria which
        discriminate on the basis of religion.
            (7) Providing for the development of training programs that
        will prepare substantial numbers of minority employees for
        skilled jobs, including the expansion of existing programs and
        the creation of new programs to train, upgrade, and improve the
        skills of minority employees.
            (8) Establishing procedures to assess, identify, and
        actively recruit minority employees with the potential for
        further advancement.
