(aa) Designing. 
(bb) Packaging. 
(III) The minerals, gases, and 
other chemical substances utilized in 
such manufacturing and research. 
(IV) The supply chains for such 
minerals, gases, and substances. 
(ii) The trends with respect to the fol-
lowing: 
(I) The offshoring of such manu-
facturing and research from January 
1, 1990, to such date of enactment. 
(II) 
Any 
reshoring 
of 
such 
offshored 
manufacturing 
and 
re-
search. 
(III) Partnerships between do-
mestic entities and foreign entities for 
such inputs. 
(IV) Investments by such entities 
for the domestic manufacturing of, 
and research relating to, such semi-
conductors and technologies. 
(iii) Each location to which such man-
ufacturing and research is being offshored.

(iv) The bottlenecks with respect to 
the following: 
(I) Such manufacturing and re-
search. 
(II) The international trade of 
such semiconductors and technologies. 
(v) The role of foreign nationals who 
receive in the United States an education 
or work experience in the manufacturing 
of, and research relating to, such semi-
conductors and technologies, and subse-
quently work for foreign entities, including 
adversaries of the United States, in fields 
relating to such semiconductors and tech-
nologies. 
(vi) The role of private sector officials 
and public sector officials who are Amer-
ican and work for such foreign entities. 
(vii) The domestic assets, including 
intellectual property, for such manufac-
turing and research that such foreign enti-
ties have acquired, including by means of 
a bankruptcy. 
(viii) The domestic entities and for-
eign entities that have received funding or

other incentives from the Federal Govern-
ment, including by means of the CHIPS 
Act of 2022 (division A of Public Law 
117–167), for the domestic manufacturing 
of, and research relating to, such semi-
conductors and technologies and, subse-
quent to such receipt, have engaged in the 
offshoring of such manufacturing and re-
search. 
(B) Based upon such identifications, deter-
mine the trends in such offshore manufacturing 
and research from such date of enactment to a 
date that is not earlier than 30 years after such 
date of enactment. 
(C) Conduct an assessment of the implica-
tions to or on, as the case may be, the following 
as a result of such offshore manufacturing and 
research: 
(i) The national economy. 
(ii) National security. 
(iii) The supply chains of the United 
States for such semiconductors and tech-
nologies. 
(iv) Allies and partners of the United
