Commerce would study the U.S. advanced memory technology market

The Secretary of Commerce would conduct a study of the advanced memory technology market. The study would cover demand, users, supply limits, consumer and small-business costs, investment, supply chains, legal and policy barriers, and ways to increase supply without relying more on a country of concern. The Secretary would consult federal agencies and affected businesses and customers, including memory-chip makers, equipment and materials makers, internet service providers, and manufacturers of consumer electronics and motor vehicles. Before submitting the report, the Secretary would provide the public an opportunity to comment. Within 270 days after enactment, the Secretary would submit the report to the specified House and Senate committees and publish it on the Commerce Department's website.
