Streamlining American Manufacturing Strategy Act
S. 2318 To amend the National Institute of Standards and Technology Act to require the periodic update to the strategic plan to guide the Manufacturing USA Program to align with the mandatory updates to the National Strategy for Advanced Manufacturing.
Summary
The bill amends the National Institute of Standards and Technology Act to modify the update schedule for the Manufacturing USA Program's strategic plan. Currently, the program's strategic plan must be updated every three years; the bill would extend this to every four years. The bill requires that updates to the Manufacturing USA Program's strategic plan align with the update cycle for the National Strategy for Advanced Manufacturing, so that both programs coordinate their planning and priorities.
