Sponsored By: Senator Cantwell, Maria [D-WA]

Passed Senate

Summary

Supply chain resilience is the bill's core goal. It would direct Commerce's Industry and Analysis office to map and model critical supply chains, lead a cross‑agency Working Group, and craft strategies to shore up manufacturing for critical and emerging technologies.

Show full summary
  • Domestic manufacturers and emerging tech firms: Would push federal action to encourage U.S. production and to shift manufacturing from countries described in section 7(2)(B) to the United States or to ally and partner nations. It focuses on competitiveness in listed emerging technologies.
  • Private companies and suppliers: Would create a voluntary information‑sharing regime for nonpublic resilience and risk data. Marked submissions would be protected from Freedom of Information Act disclosure and would preserve trade secret and other privileges, with submissions falling into three categories.
  • Federal, state, and local coordination: Would expand the Assistant Secretary's duties to lead the Working Group, require implementation reporting, and demand a Commerce capability and strategy report within 2 years. The Act would terminate 10 years after enactment.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

New federal lead on supply chains

If enacted, this would give the Commerce Assistant Secretary the lead to coordinate U.S. work on critical supply chains. A cross‑agency working group would be led by Commerce and would consult with DHS, State, USTR, industry, colleges, and state and local governments. The Assistant Secretary would encourage more U.S. production of emerging technologies and support access to critical goods from U.S. and partner nations. They would help the government prepare for and respond to supply chain shocks, and encourage moving key manufacturing out of high‑risk countries. Commerce would also need to deliver a detailed capability report to Congress within two years.

Defines critical goods, tech, partners

If enacted, this would set who and what is covered. A “critical good” would be an item whose lack would harm U.S. national or economic security, and that is part of critical infrastructure or an emerging technology. “Emerging technology” would include AI, automated and unmanned systems, blockchain, quantum, additive and advanced manufacturing, IoT, nanotechnology, robotics, microelectronics, semiconductors, and advanced materials. A “supply chain shock” would include disasters, pandemics, biological threats, cyber attacks, geopolitical conflicts, terrorist attacks, trade disruptions by certain countries, and events with a presidential disaster or emergency declaration. An “ally or key partner nation” would exclude countries that pose major security risks and those named in a 2023 law. A “domestic enterprise” would do business in the U.S. and buy a critical good, and a “domestic manufacturer” would do R&D, engineering, or production in the U.S. for a critical good.

No new funding and 10-year sunset

If enacted, this would not authorize any new money to carry out the Act. Agencies would need to use existing funds. The Act and all its requirements would end 10 years after enactment.

Voluntary supply chain data protections

If enacted, Commerce would run a voluntary way for companies to share non‑public “critical supply chain information” to plan for shocks. Shared information would need a clear marking to get protection. Marked information would be exempt from public release under FOIA and kept confidential, with narrow exceptions such as certain investigations or Congress and GAO reviews. Sharing would not waive trade secret or other legal privileges. Covered information would include supplier networks, production flexibility, risk audits, and testing.
