Critical Infrastructure Manufacturing Feasibility Act

Bill 119 hr 1721, also known as the "Manufacturing for Critical Infrastructure Act," aims to direct the Secretary of Commerce to conduct a study on the feasibility of manufacturing products for critical infrastructure sectors within the United States. Critical infrastructure sectors include industries such as energy, transportation, and telecommunications, which are essential for the functioning of society.

The purpose of this study is to assess the potential benefits and challenges of increasing domestic manufacturing in these sectors. By analyzing factors such as cost, supply chain resilience, and national security implications, the Secretary of Commerce will provide valuable insights into the feasibility of reshoring production to the United States.

In addition to the study, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to promoting domestic manufacturing in critical infrastructure sectors. This could potentially lead to increased job creation, economic growth, and enhanced national security through reduced reliance on foreign suppliers. Overall, Bill 119 hr 1721 seeks to explore the potential benefits of bringing manufacturing back to the United States in critical infrastructure sectors, with the goal of strengthening the country's industrial base and ensuring the resilience of essential industries.
