H.R. 5865
American Manufacturing Competitiveness Act of 2012
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce
on June 20, 2012
SUMMARY
H.R. 5865 would establish the American Manufacturing Competitiveness Board within the
Department of Commerce to advise the President on issues affecting manufacturing in the
United States. The board would be required to perform a comprehensive analysis of the
nation's manufacturing sector and, using results from the analysis, develop a strategy to
improve the competitiveness of domestic manufacturing efforts. Results from the analysis
and strategy would be available to the President to comply with the bill's requirement to
publish a strategy in 2014 and again in 2018 to promote growth in the nation's
manufacturing sector.
Based on information from the Department of Commerce, CBO estimates that
implementing H.R. 5865 would cost about $15 million over the 2013-2017 period,
assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. Enacting H.R. 5865 would not affect
direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 5865 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or
tribal governments.

this legislation fall within budget function 370 (commerce and housing credit).
