Summary
Align export controls on semiconductor manufacturing equipment to keep advanced chipmaking tools out of strategic rivals' hands and close global loopholes. It would set time‑bound lists, countrywide controls, servicing bans, and diplomatic steps to get allies to adopt matching restrictions.
Show full summary
- Manufacturers and equipment suppliers: Would face new licensing limits and servicing denials for listed machines. Agencies must identify covered items and facilities within 60 days and publish implementing regulations within 150 days.
- Named companies and facilities: Entities tied to PRC Military‑Civil Fusion would be targeted as covered facilities. The bill names firms including SMIC, Huawei, YMTC, CXMT, AMEC, and SMEE.
- Diplomacy and enforcement: Would require immediate engagement with allied supplier countries and a 90-day briefing to Congress on progress. The framework includes reporting requirements and a 5-year sunset for the authority.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 3 mixed.
Which chips and fabs are covered
If enacted, the bill would define exactly which semiconductor items, equipment, and facilities are covered. It would list countries of concern, including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and Cuba. It would treat many foreign-produced items tied to U.S. technology or any non-zero U.S. content as "applicable items." It would presumptively include ECCNs 3B001, 3B002, and 3B993 as covered equipment unless agencies say otherwise. It would except some existing fabrication facilities owned and run by companies headquartered outside countries of concern.
New export and servicing limits
If enacted, the bill would require licensing and a policy of denial for servicing covered semiconductor items at identified foreign facilities unless allies put matching controls in place. If agencies do not certify allied action by 150 days, the U.S. would extend jurisdiction and countrywide controls to items tied to those allied countries and bar exports or end-uses to covered facilities. Agency heads, with Defense and Energy concurrence, could grant one 90-day extension of the 150-day deadline if they certify allied progress and national security need and must report steps taken to stop stockpiling.
Ending, review, and sunset rules
If enacted, the bill would let agencies end or loosen controls for an allied country after that country adopts matching rules, but agencies must notify Congress when they do. If an ally later weakens its controls, agencies would have to reimpose controls within 60 days. The bill would make standard Administrative Procedure Act rulemaking and judicial review apply to actions under the Act. The whole Act would expire five years after enactment, but actions started before expiration would remain valid.
Fast diplomacy, lists, and reports
If enacted, the bill would make agencies start diplomatic talks with allied supplier countries right away to get matching export controls. Agencies would jointly identify covered equipment and facilities within 60 days and update lists each year. Agencies would brief Congress within 90 days and publish aligned regulations within 150 days. Agencies would send a full report to Congress within 180 days and then report annually on controls, diplomacy, and certifications.
