WASHINGTON – IPC and PCBAA were gratified to see that Congress settled on a favorable budget outcome for the Defense Production Act. As we encouraged in our February letter to Congressional Leadership, a robust level of funding is crucial to revitalizing the American PCB industry and the broader microelectronics ecosystem upon which U.S. military superiority rests. Additionally, this bill includes important guidance directing the Secretary of Defense to prioritize domestic production of printed circuit boards. Our coalition, representing hundreds of companies and tens of thousands of skilled American workers, will continue to push for healthy and uninterrupted funding for the DPA Procurement Account.
The FY 24 Defense Appropriation Bill is a Win for American Manufacturing
