Promoting Resilient Supply Chains Act of 2025

The bill would assign sweeping new supply chain responsibilities to the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Analysis. Within 120 days of enactment, the Assistant Secretary would establish a Supply Chain Resilience Working Group drawing representatives from at least ten federal agencies, and designate which industries, supply chains, and goods are "critical." Within one year, the office would be required to assess, map, and model critical supply chains; identify gaps and vulnerabilities; evaluate the capacity of domestic and allied-nation manufacturers; and develop contingency plans. Within 18 months, and annually thereafter, the Assistant Secretary would submit to Congress a national strategy report covering supply chain threats, manufacturing capacity, and specific recommendations to improve resilience — especially for emerging technologies such as semiconductors, AI, and quantum computing.

The bill would not authorize any new appropriations; all activities must be carried out within existing resources. It expressly bars requiring private entities to share information or implement recommendations, and protects voluntarily submitted supply chain data from FOIA disclosure. All provisions would sunset ten years after enactment.

The Commerce Department's Industry and Analysis office bears the primary new burden. Federal agencies on the Working Group — including the Departments of State, Defense, Homeland Security, Transportation, Energy, Agriculture, Interior, Health and Human Services, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the Small Business Administration — would contribute analysis and coordination. Domestic manufacturers, suppliers, and private entities in critical industries could voluntarily share protected supply chain data. State, local, and tribal governments and allied nations would be consulted.

If enacted, the U.S. government would have a formal, recurring mechanism to identify where critical goods — from semiconductors to advanced materials — are dangerously concentrated in adversary nations, and to develop strategies to diversify those sources. Manufacturers in critical sectors could share sensitive vulnerability data with Commerce without fear of public disclosure or use against them in civil litigation, potentially encouraging more candid government-industry cooperation on supply chain risk.

The Assistant Secretary of Commerce would lead implementation, first designating critical industries, goods, and supply chains within 120 days — with a public comment period. The Working Group, composed of agency representatives, would guide annual assessments and coordinate cross-agency responses. The office would enter data-sharing agreements with relevant agencies within one year. Annual strategy reports must go to six named congressional committees in unclassified form (with an optional classified annex), and may not include non-aggregated proprietary business data. Designations must be updated at least every four years. All work must be funded from existing appropriations.
