This legislation mandates the Secretary of Commerce to conduct a comprehensive study on the feasibility of manufacturing products for critical infrastructure sectors within the United States. The study will identify high-demand products currently imported due to domestic manufacturing, material, or supply chain constraints. It will also analyze the economic costs and benefits of producing these items domestically, considering their impact on U.S. jobs, employment rates, and the overall cost of the product. Furthermore, the study is tasked with identifying specific products that could feasibly be manufactured in the United States, including an analysis of impediments and opportunities for production in rural areas or industrial parks. It will also pinpoint federal policies that may hinder domestic manufacturing. The Secretary must submit an unclassified report detailing these findings and recommendations to Congress within 18 months, making it publicly accessible.
