3Findings
This section would record a set of findings by Congress. Semiconductors underpin the United States and global economies, including manufacturing sectors, and are essential to United States national security. A shortage of semiconductors, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and other complex supply chain factors, has threatened the United States' economic recovery and industries that employ millions of United States citizens. Addressing current challenges and building resilience against future risks requires a secure and stable semiconductor supply chain that supports the economic and national security needs of the United States and its allies. The global semiconductor supply chain is complex, and while the United States leads in certain segments of the industry, securing the supply chain requires onshoring, reshoring, or diversifying vulnerable segments such as fabrication, advanced packaging, and the materials and equipment used to manufacture semiconductor products. The federal government can use foreign direct investment and private dollars to grow domestic manufacturing and production capacity for vulnerable segments of the semiconductor supply chain. The SelectUSA program, working 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 United States semiconductor supply chain.

3. Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) Semiconductors underpin the United States and global economies, including manufacturing sectors. Semiconductors are also essential to the national security of the United States. (2) 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. (3) 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. (4) 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— (A) fabrication; (B) advanced packaging; and (C) materials and equipment used to manufacture semiconductor products. (5) 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. (6) 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.
4Coordination with State-level economic development organizations
This section would require the Executive Director of SelectUSA, not later than 180 days after the Act's enactment, to solicit comments from State-level economic development organizations. SelectUSA would use those comments to review: what the federal government can do to support increased foreign direct investment in any segment of semiconductor-related production; what barriers to that investment exist and how State efforts to attract it can be amplified; public opportunities those organizations have identified to attract foreign direct investment that would help increase such investment; and resource gaps or other challenges that keep those organizations from increasing such investment. SelectUSA would also use the comments to develop recommendations for how it can increase such investment on its own or in partnership with those organizations, and for working with countries that are United States allies or partners so 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.

4. Coordination with State-level economic development organizations 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— (1) to review— (A) what efforts the Federal Government can take to support increased foreign direct investment in any segment of semiconductor-related production; (B) what barriers to such investment may exist and how to amplify State efforts to attract such investment; (C) public opportunities those organizations have identified to attract foreign direct investment to help increase investment described in subparagraph (A); and (D) resource gaps or other challenges that prevent those organizations from increasing such investment; and (2) to develop recommendations for— (A) how SelectUSA can increase such investment independently or through partnership with those organizations; and (B) 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.
5Report on increasing foreign direct investment in semiconductor-related manufacturing and production
This section would require the Executive Director of SelectUSA, not later than 2 years after the Act's enactment and in coordination with the Federal Interagency Investment Working Group established by Executive Order No. 13577, to submit a report to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. The report would have to include: a review of the comments SelectUSA received from State-level economic development organizations under section 4; a description of the activities SelectUSA is engaged in to increase foreign direct investment in semiconductor-related manufacturing and production; and an assessment of strategies SelectUSA may use to increase such investment and help secure the United States semiconductor supply chain, including by working with other relevant federal agencies and by working with State-level economic development organizations and implementing any strategies or recommendations SelectUSA received from those organizations.
