Streamlining American Manufacturing Strategy Act
This bill changes how often the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) updates its manufacturing strategy. It requires NIST to update the plan no more frequently than every four years, aligning the update schedule with the National Strategy for Advanced Manufacturing under the America COMPETES Act. The key mechanism is adjusting the timing requirement from a three-year cycle to a four-year cycle, ensuring both strategies evolve together. This directly affects NIST's process for developing and revising its manufacturing strategy plan.
