Abstract
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is extending the period for submitting comments relating to potential Manufacturing USA semiconductor institutes until December 12, 2022. In a Request for Information (RFI) that published in the Federal Register on October 13, 2022, NIST requested information to inform the design of, and requirements for, potential Manufacturing USA institutes to strengthen the semiconductor and microelectronics innovation ecosystem, which could include design, fabrication, advanced test, assembly, and packaging capability. Responses to the RFI will inform NIST's development of funding opportunities for federal assistance to establish Manufacturing USA semiconductor institutes.

Manufacturing USA Semiconductor Institutes; Extension of Comment
Period
AGENCY: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST),
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice; extension of comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is
extending the period for submitting comments relating to potential
Manufacturing USA semiconductor institutes until December 12, 2022. In
a Request for Information (RFI) that published in the Federal Register
on October 13, 2022, NIST requested information to inform the design
of, and requirements for, potential Manufacturing USA institutes to
strengthen the semiconductor and microelectronics innovation ecosystem,
which could include design, fabrication, advanced test, assembly, and
packaging capability. Responses to the RFI will inform NIST's
development of funding opportunities for federal assistance to
establish Manufacturing USA semiconductor institutes.
DATES: Comments must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on December
12, 2022. Comments received after November 28, 2022 and before
publication of this notice are deemed to be timely. Submissions
received after December 12, 2022 may not be considered. Those who have
already submitted comments need not resubmit.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted by either of the following
methods:
<bullet> Electronic submission: Submit electronic public comments
via the Federal eRulemaking Portal.
1. Go to <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a> and enter NIST-2022-0002 in the search
field,
2. Click the ``Comment Now!'' icon, complete the required fields,

RTF; or PDF.
Please submit comments only and include your name, organization's
name (if any), and cite ``Manufacturing USA semiconductor institutes''
in all correspondence. Comments containing references, studies,
research, and other empirical data that are not widely published should
include copies of the referenced materials.
All comments responding to this document will be a matter of public
record. Relevant comments will generally be available on the Federal
eRulemaking Portal at <a href="http://www.Regulations.gov">http://www.Regulations.gov</a> and on NIST's website
at <a href="https://www.nist.gov/oam/manufacturing-usa-semiconductor-institute-request-information-rfi">https://www.nist.gov/oam/manufacturing-usa-semiconductor-institute-request-information-rfi</a>. NIST will not accept comments accompanied by a
request that part or all of the material be treated confidentially
because of its business proprietary nature or for any other reason.
Therefore, do not submit confidential business information or otherwise

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In an RFI that published in the Federal
Register on October 13, 2022 (87 FR 62080), NIST requested information
to inform the design of, and requirements for, potential Manufacturing
USA institutes to strengthen the semiconductor and microelectronics
innovation ecosystem, which could include design, fabrication, advanced
test, assembly, and packaging capability. These Manufacturing USA
institutes are envisioned in Title XCIX of the William M. (Mac)
Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021
(Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) for
America) to support efforts in research and development as well as
education and workforce development, and that Act also provides for
complementary initiatives including the National Semiconductor
Technology Center, the National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing
Program, and the NIST laboratories program supporting measurement
science and standards. Responses to the RFI will inform NIST's
development of funding opportunities for federal assistance to
establish Manufacturing USA semiconductor institutes. NIST is extending
the comment period announced in the October 13, 2022 RFI from November
28, 2022 to December 12, 2022 in response to stakeholder requests for
more time to respond to this important issue. NIST held three
informational webinars explaining how the public could submit comments
to the RFI, on October 20, November 2 and November 16, 2022. A link to
a recording of the October 20, 2022 webinar as well as answers to
