Bill Text
Version EHThis Act may be cited as the Securing Semiconductor Supply Chains Act of 2025.
In this Act, the term SelectUSA means the SelectUSA program of the Department of Commerce established by Executive Order No. 13577 (76 Fed. Reg. 35715).
Congress makes the following findings:
Semiconductors underpin the United States and global economies, including manufacturing sectors. Semiconductors are also essential to the national security of the United States.
A shortage of semiconductors, brought about by the COVID–19 pandemic and other complex factors impacting the overall supply chain, has threatened the economic recovery of the United States and industries that employ millions of United States citizens.
Addressing current challenges and building resilience against future risks requires ensuring a secure and stable supply chain for semiconductors that will support the economic and national security needs of the United States and its allies.
The supply chain for semiconductors is complex and global. While the United States plays a leading role in certain segments of the semiconductor industry, securing the supply chain requires onshoring, reshoring, or diversifying vulnerable segments, such as for—
fabrication;
advanced packaging; and
materials and equipment used to manufacture semiconductor products.
The Federal Government can leverage foreign direct investment and private dollars to grow the domestic manufacturing and production capacity of the United States for vulnerable segments of the semiconductor supply chain.
The SelectUSA program of the Department of Commerce, in coordination with other Federal agencies and State-level economic development organizations, is positioned to boost foreign direct investment in domestic manufacturing and to help secure the semiconductor supply chain of the United States.
Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Executive Director of SelectUSA shall solicit comments from State-level economic development organizations—
to review—
what efforts the Federal Government can take to support increased foreign direct investment in any segment of semiconductor-related production;
what barriers to such investment may exist and how to amplify State efforts to attract such investment;
public opportunities those organizations have identified to attract foreign direct investment to help increase investment described in subparagraph (A); and
resource gaps or other challenges that prevent those organizations from increasing such investment; and
to develop recommendations for—
how SelectUSA can increase such investment independently or through partnership with those organizations; and
working with countries that are allies or partners of the United States to ensure that foreign adversaries (as defined in section 8(c)(2) of the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019 (47 U.S.C. 1607(c)(2))) do not benefit from United States efforts to increase such investment.
Not later than 2 years after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Executive Director of SelectUSA, in coordination with the Federal Interagency Investment Working Group established by Executive Order No. 13577 (76 Fed. Reg. 35715; relating to establishment of the SelectUSA Initiative), shall submit to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate and the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives a report that includes—
a review of the comments SelectUSA received from State-level economic development organizations under section 4;
a description of activities SelectUSA is engaged in to increase foreign direct investment in semiconductor-related manufacturing and production; and
an assessment of strategies SelectUSA may implement to achieve an increase in such investment and to help secure the United States supply chain for semiconductors, including by—
working with other relevant Federal agencies; and
working with State-level economic development organizations and implementing any strategies or recommendations SelectUSA received from those organizations.
No additional funds are authorized to be appropriated for the purpose of carrying out this Act.
