NEMA Urges Commerce Department to Expand Availability of Semiconductors
ROSSLYN, VA—The National Electrical Manufacturers Association recently recommended to the Commerce Department Bureau of Industry and Security the need to establish U.S. semiconductor manufacturing and supply chain capabilities in key applications, such as those that use connectivity technologies.
"All aspects of the economy rely on an adequate and reliable supply of semiconductors, including NEMA members, whose products perform essential functions across critical infrastructure," says NEMA President and CEO Debra Phillips. "In fact, sufficient availability of semiconductors will be critical in achieving the shared infrastructure improvement goals enabled by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act recently passed by Congress."
