Executive Order 14080 of August 25, 2022
Implementation of the CHIPS Act of 2022
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, and in order to effectively implement the
incentives for semiconductor research, development, and
manufacturing provided by division A of H.R. 4346 (the
``Act''), it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Background. The Act, known as the Creating
Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS)
Act of 2022, will make transformative investments to
restore and advance our Nation's leadership in the
research, development, and manufacturing of
semiconductors. These investments will strengthen our
Nation's manufacturing and industrial base; create
well-paying, high-skilled jobs in construction,
manufacturing, and maintenance; catalyze regional
economic development throughout the country; bolster
United States technology leadership; and reduce our
dependence on critical technologies from China and
other vulnerable or overly concentrated foreign supply
chains.
Meeting these objectives will require effective
implementation of the Act by my Administration, in
collaboration with State, local, Tribal, and
territorial governments; the private sector;
institutions of higher education; workforce development
organizations; labor unions and other worker
organizations; and allied and partner countries.
Sec. 2. Implementation Priorities. In implementing the
Act, all agencies (as described in section 3502(1) of
title 44, United States Code, except for the agencies
described in section 3502(5) of title 44) shall, as
appropriate and to the extent consistent with law,
prioritize:
(a) protecting taxpayer resources, including by
ensuring strong compliance and accountability measures
for funding recipients;
(b) meeting economic, sustainability, and national
security needs, including by building domestic
manufacturing capacity that reduces reliance on
vulnerable or overly concentrated foreign production
for both leading-edge and mature microelectronics;
(c) ensuring long-term leadership in the
microelectronics sector, including by establishing a
dynamic, collaborative network for microelectronics
research and innovation to enable long-term United
States leadership in critical industries;
(d) catalyzing private-sector investment, including
by reducing risk and maximizing large-scale private
investment in production, breakthrough technologies,
and worker and workforce development;
(e) generating benefits--such as well-paying, high-
skilled union jobs and opportunities for startups;
small businesses; and minority-owned, veteran-owned,
and women-owned businesses--for a broad range of
stakeholders and communities, including by investing in
disadvantaged communities and by partnering with State,
local, Tribal, and territorial governments and with
institutions of higher education; and
(f) strengthening and expanding regional
manufacturing and innovation ecosystems, including by
investing in suppliers, manufacturers, workforce
development, basic and translational research, and
related infrastructure and cybersecurity throughout the
microelectronics supply chain, and by
[[Page 52848]]
facilitating the expansion, creation, and coordination
of semiconductor clusters.
Sec. 3. CHIPS Implementation Steering Council. (a)

as the Co-Chairs may from time to time invite to participate.
(d) The Co-Chairs may create and coordinate
subgroups consisting of Steering Council members or
their designees, as appropriate.
(e) The Co-Chairs may consult with leaders from
industry, labor unions and other worker organizations,
institutions of higher education, research
institutions, and civil society, as appropriate and
consistent with law, to provide individual perspectives
and advice to the Steering Council on the effective
implementation of the Act.
(f) The Co-Chairs may consult with the President's
Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, as
appropriate and consistent with law, to provide advice
to the Steering Council.
Sec. 4. Effective and Efficient Stewardship and
Oversight of Taxpayer Resources. The Director of the
Office of Management and Budget shall take appropriate
actions to promote and monitor, with respect to
execution of the Act, the effective and efficient
stewardship and oversight of taxpayer resources, in
collaboration with the Steering Council and the heads
of agencies responsible for implementing the Act.

shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
