Bill Summary


S. 1427 would amend  the authorization for Manufacturing USA, a federal grant program
administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that funds a
national network of advanced manufacturing institutes. The bill also would eliminate the
authority of the Department of Energy (DOE) to transfer appropriated funds to NIST.
Finally, the bill would amend the authorization for the Regional Innovation Program
administered by the Economic Development  Administration (EDA).

Federal Costs

On net, CBO  estimates that the bill would increase authorized appropriations by $15 million
over the 2020-2024 period. Assuming appropriation actions consistent with legislative
language, CBO  estimates that implementing the bill would reduce outlays for those
authorizations by $85 million over the same period. The costs of the legislation (as detailed
in Table 1) fall within budget function 370 (commerce and housing credit).

Current law authorizes the appropriation of $5 million a year through 2024 for NIST to carry
out the Manufacturing USA  program. S. 1427 would authorize whatever amounts are
necessary for that program each year through 2030. The bill would require NIST to
implement  and enforce more rigorous metrics-based performance standards, carry out new
pilot programs, develop best practices for network membership agreements, and perform
other activities not required under current law. Using information from the agency, CBO
