SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a Federal Register notice dated December
27, 2023 (88 FR 89372), NIST announced the availability of the Draft
PEA for the modernization and internal expansion of existing
semiconductor fabrication facilities under the CHIPS Incentives
Program. NIST has prepared the draft PEA in accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and
the Council on Environmental Quality's (CEQ) NEPA implementing
regulations (40 CFR parts 1500 through 1508). The PEA addresses
financial assistance for the modernization or internal expansion of
existing current-generation and mature-node commercial facilities
within their existing footprint throughout the U.S.
The original deadline for public comments was January 25, 2024.
NIST has received a request for an extension of the comment period due
to the length and technical content of the document. NIST is therefore
extending the deadline until February 9, 2024.
Authority: This notice is provided pursuant to NEPA and CEQ's NEPA
implementing regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).
Tamiko Ford,
NIST Executive Secretariat.
