Washington, D.C. – Senior executives of US based electronics manufacturers are calling on the U.S. Congress to support robust funding for reinvigorating the printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing sector.
In a letter sent to the heads of the Appropriations Committees and Defense Appropriations Subcommittees the executives urged that $100 million be allocated in Fiscal 2024 to implement President Biden’s recent presidential determination under Title III of the Defense Production Act.
This recent determination formally designates Printed Circuit Board and IC Substrates as technologies critical to U.S. National Security. PCBAA joins IPC and our industry colleagues in calling on Congress to fund innovation and domestic capacity in this important technology sector.
