What this bill does
This bill directs the Department of Commerce to study which high-demand products used in critical infrastructure sectors are currently imported because of U.S. manufacturing, material, or supply chain constraints. It would then analyze the costs, benefits, and feasibility of making those products in the United States, including in rural areas and industrial parks. Commerce would report its findings and recommendations to Congress and post the report publicly.
Who it affects
It would most directly affect the Department of Commerce, which must conduct the study, and could inform businesses, workers, and communities in the 16 critical infrastructure sectors and in rural or industrial-park areas considered for manufacturing.
Key points
- Requires Commerce to conduct the study within 1 year of enactment.
- Requires a report to Congress within 18 months, made public on Commerce's website.
- Study must weigh effects on jobs, labor conditions, and product costs.
- Specifically examines feasibility of manufacturing in rural areas and industrial parks.
- Does not give Commerce power to force anyone to provide information, and covers the 16 critical infrastructure sectors from Presidential Policy Directive 21.
