SEC. 3. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Semiconductors underpin the United States 
and global economies, including manufacturing sec-
tors. Semiconductors are also essential to the na-
tional security of the United States. 
(2) A shortage of semiconductors, brought 
about by the COVID–19 pandemic and other com-
plex 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 se-
cure 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 semicon-
ductor industry, securing the supply chain requires 
onshoring, reshoring, or diversifying vulnerable seg-
ments, such as for—

(A) fabrication; 
(B) advanced packaging; and 
(C) materials and equipment used to man-
ufacture semiconductor products. 
(5) The Federal Government can leverage for-
eign 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 orga-
nizations, is positioned to boost foreign direct invest-
ment in domestic manufacturing and to help secure 
the semiconductor supply chain of the United States.

lated production;

exist and how to amplify State efforts to attract 
such investment; 
(C) public opportunities those organiza-
tions have identified to attract foreign direct in-
vestment to help increase investment described

vestment independently or through partnership

(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 Communica-
tions Networks Act of 2019 (47 U.S.C.
