Streamlining American Manufacturing Strategy Act

AI-Generated Summary

Updated November 23, 2025 at 10:14 PM UTC

The Streamlining American Manufacturing Strategy Act amends the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Act to make the strategic plan for the Manufacturing USA program be refreshed at least every four years, instead of every three. This change is meant to line up the plan’s update schedule with the four‑year cycle for the National Strategy for Advanced Manufacturing, ensuring the program stays consistent with national priorities. The bill mainly affects NIST, the Manufacturing USA program, and the coordination of federal manufacturing strategy updates.

Key Provisions

Changes the required update frequency for the Manufacturing USA strategic plan from at least every 3 years to at least every 4 years.
Aligns the timing of those updates with the four‑year update cycle for the National Strategy for Advanced Manufacturing, as set by the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act.
Updates related references in the NIST Act to reflect the new subparagraph numbering and the added update requirement.
