Protecting Semiconductor Supply Chain Materials from Authoritarians Act

HR 5058 establishes an interagency working group within 30 days to address semiconductor supply chain disruptions caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The group, chaired by the Secretary of State and including departments like Commerce, Defense, and Energy, must report within 60 days on how Russia's actions impact supplies of palladium, neon gas, helium, and hexafluorobutadiene (C4F6), along with diplomatic efforts to diversify these materials. It also requires annual reports for five years analyzing future geopolitical risks - including conflicts in Taiwan or Europe - that could disrupt semiconductor supply chains, including contingency plans for evacuating technical experts. The bill directly affects U.S. semiconductor manufacturing and national security by focusing on supply chain vulnerabilities tied to Russia's aggression.
