1 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa2 tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 

3 SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 

4 This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Securing Semicon5 ductor Supply Chains Act of 2023’’. 

6 SEC. 2. SELECTUSA DEFINED. 

7 In this Act, the term ‘‘SelectUSA’’ means the 

8 SelectUSA program of the Department of Commerce es9 tablished by Executive Order 13577 (76 Fed. Reg. 

10 35,715). 

11 SEC. 3. FINDINGS. 

12 Congress makes the following findings: 

13 (1) Semiconductors underpin the United States 

14 and global economies, including manufacturing sec15 tors. Semiconductors are also essential to the na16 tional security of the United States. 

17 (2) A shortage of semiconductors, brought 

18 about by the COVID–19 pandemic and other com19 plex factors impacting the overall supply chain, has 

20 threatened the economic recovery of the United 

21 States and industries that employ millions of United 

22 States citizens. 

23 (3) Addressing current challenges and building 

24 resilience against future risks requires ensuring a se25 cure and stable supply chain for semiconductors that

•HR 752 RH

1 will support the economic and national security 

2 needs of the United States and its allies. 

3 (4) The supply chain for semiconductors is 

4 complex and global. While the United States plays 

5 a leading role in certain segments of the semicon6 ductor industry, securing the supply chain requires 

7 onshoring, reshoring, or diversifying vulnerable seg8 ments, such as for— 

9 (A) fabrication; 

10 (B) advanced packaging; and 

11 (C) materials and equipment used to man12 ufacture semiconductor products. 

13 (5) The Federal Government can leverage for14 eign direct investment and private dollars to grow 

15 the domestic manufacturing and production capacity 

16 of the United States for vulnerable segments of the 

17 semiconductor supply chain. 

18 (6) The SelectUSA program of the Department 

19 of Commerce, in coordination with other Federal 

20 agencies and State-level economic development orga21 nizations, is positioned to boost foreign direct invest22 ment in domestic manufacturing and to help secure 

23 the semiconductor supply chain of the United States.

15 (C) public opportunities those organiza16 tions have identified to attract foreign direct in17 vestment to help increase investment described
