This bill, titled the CLEAR Defense Production Act of 2025, seeks to significantly improve the administration and transparency of the Defense Production Act of 1950. It amends the existing DPA Committee structure by establishing a dedicated, full-time Chairperson within the Department of Commerce. This Chairperson, a Senior Executive Service employee, will report directly to the Secretary of Commerce and be primarily responsible for leading the Committee and ensuring effective coordination among federal agencies regarding DPA authorities. The Secretary of Commerce is also tasked with providing necessary staff and resources for the Chairperson and submitting funding requests. Furthermore, the legislation mandates the creation of a DPA Registry , a secure electronic database to be established by the Secretary of Commerce through the Committee Chairperson within one year. This registry will comprehensively document every use of DPA authority by federal agencies, detailing the rationale and method of application, dating back one year prior to the bill's enactment. Federal agencies will be required to regularly update this registry with new information. The DPA Registry is designed to offer varying levels of access, including to the public, thereby maximizing transparency while allowing for the protection of sensitive national security information. A Comptroller General report will also assess the Committee's coordination and planning within two years.
