Federal plan to attract chip investment
This bill would direct the Commerce Department’s SelectUSA program, created by Executive Order 13577, to plan how to increase foreign investment in U.S. chip making and packaging. Within 180 days, SelectUSA would ask state economic development groups for input on barriers, opportunities, and resource gaps. The program would develop recommendations, including how to work with allies and keep foreign adversaries, as defined in law, from benefiting. Within 2 years, SelectUSA would send a report to the Senate Commerce Committee and the House Energy and Commerce Committee, prepared with the federal interagency investment group. The report would describe current activities and assess strategies with other federal agencies and states. No new money would be provided; it would use existing SelectUSA funds.
