This bill mandates that the Secretary of Commerce produce a comprehensive report, in collaboration with the National Academy of Public Administration, within one year of enactment. This report is designed to evaluate the Department of Commerce's existing programs and offices that focus on critical supply chain resilience and manufacturing and industrial innovation . The primary objective is to enhance the overall effectiveness and efficiency of these vital initiatives. The assessment will specifically identify relevant Commerce offices and bureaus, detailing their responsibilities, programs, and expertise in these areas. It will also analyze their purpose, statutory authority, and current limitations, while pinpointing any duplicative efforts or gaps within the Department. Ultimately, the report must provide actionable recommendations to optimize operations, improve internal coordination, and enhance collaboration with other federal agencies involved in similar activities. Following the report's completion, the Secretary must submit it to Congress, along with recommendations for potential legislative action and the Secretary's official response to the findings.
