## Summary

**This bill would bar federal funding and purchases of completed, fully assembled semiconductor manufacturing equipment made or refurbished by specified foreign entities.** It focuses on gear used in fabrication, testing, packaging, and related production work while excluding standalone parts and subcomponents. - Recipients of federal semiconductor funding: Projects that get federal financial assistance under sections 9902 or awards under section 9906 could not use those funds to procure, install, or use ineligible equipment for 10 years from the agreement date. - Foreign entities of concern: Firms identified as foreign entities of concern or their subsidiaries would be blocked from supplying completed, fully assembled equipment to federally funded projects. - Domestic and allied suppliers: U.S. and allied manufacturers could gain preference because waivers are allowed only when domestic or allied sources cannot meet quantity or quality needs. - Grant administrators and security officials: Waivers can be granted in narrow cases, including when export rules allow it or when the Director of National Intelligence or the Secretary of Defense finds a national security justification, so agencies must review compliance and consult security officials.
