Evidence log

• 2026-08-04 — Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 101 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended, on Recoverable Critical Minerals and Materials: Cross-connection with dpa-recoverable-critical-minerals-determination: the Presidential Determination invoking DPA §101 for recoverable critical minerals operates in the same supply-chain-security policy space as the Securing Semiconductor Supply Chains Act, but uses executive DPA authorities on upstream materials rather than SelectUSA-driven FDI attraction for semiconductor fabrication. (novelty: 3)
• 2026-06-18 — Bureau of Industry and Security License Administration Enhancement Act: Cross-connection with bis-license-administration-enhancement-act: the BIS License Administration Enhancement Act (HR8284) would reshape export-licensing procedures (is-informed letters, presumption-of-denial factors, TACs) and mandate reporting on the 2025 advanced-computing IC due-diligence rule — the enforcement layer that sits alongside SelectUSA-style FDI attraction in securing the semiconductor supply chain. (novelty: 3)
• 2025-11-17 — SEMI Investment Act: cross-connection with semi-investment-act: Both are 119th Congress semiconductor-industry bills but operate through different levers: SEMI Investment Act (Ways and Means) pursues tax incentives while Securing Semiconductor Supply Chains Act (Commerce/SelectUSA) targets FDI attraction and supply chain reporting. (novelty: 2)
• 2026-07-23 — To spark a renaissance in American manufacturing through the establishment of a American Manufacturing Renaissance Act to develop and monitor a national manufacturing strategy, to identify and address supply chain weaknesses as well as identify and address obstacles to inclusion and align manufacturing with strategic opportunities and imperatives through local multi-stakeholder Manufacturing Renaissance Councils, which are analogous to the technology hubs established in the Chips and Science Act, and for other purposes.: cross-connection with american-manufacturing-renaissance-act: Both target supply-chain resilience; the Renaissance Act generalizes the CHIPS-style hub model beyond semiconductors. (novelty: 3)
• 2026-03-26 — Chip Security Act: cross-connection with chip-security-act: Both bills address semiconductor security policy in the 119th Congress from complementary angles (chip-level security vs. supply chain resilience). (novelty: 3)
• 2025-05-20 — Strengthening the Quad Act: cross-connection with strengthening-the-quad-act: Both address resilient technology supply chains through allied cooperation, with the Quad Act providing a diplomatic strategy framework that could complement semiconductor supply chain security efforts. (novelty: 2)
• 2026-06-09 — PROFIT Act of 2026: Related: PROFIT Act (HR5248) assigns State Department oversight of the International Technology Security and Innovation (ITSI) Fund — the CHIPS-era vehicle for semiconductor supply chain security and diversification — to the restructured Under Secretary for Economic Affairs office. (novelty: 2) (novelty: 2)
• 2025-05-26 — Securing Semiconductor Supply Chains Act: Bill as introduced directs Commerce’s SelectUSA program to solicit comments from state economic development organizations on federal efforts to attract foreign direct investment in semiconductor manufacturing and to report to Congress on strategies to increase such FDI and secure the U.S. semiconductor supply chain. (novelty: 2)
