This bill requires the Secretary of Commerce to study Department of Commerce programs that relate to critical supply chain resilience and manufacturing and industrial innovation. The Secretary must identify Commerce offices and bureaus with related responsibilities, list their duties and programs, assess each offices purpose, authority, effectiveness, efficiency, and limits, and find gaps or duplications. The report must include recommendations to optimize operations, improve coordination across Commerce offices, and improve coordination with other Federal agencies. The Secretary must contract with the National Academy of Public Administration to help produce the report. The Secretary must finish the report within one year of enactment and, within 180 days after producing it, submit the report, recommendations for possible legislation, and the Secretarys response to Congress.
This bill creates a required review and report by the Commerce Department. It does not itself change programs or give new benefits or rules. The report will describe which Commerce offices handle supply chain and manufacturing tasks, how they work, and where there are overlaps or gaps. The report will also give recommendations that Congress or the Department could use later to change programs or make new laws.
No publicly available information on overall costs or appropriations. The bill requires the Secretary to contract with the National Academy of Public Administration but does not specify funding or estimated expenses.
