                Presidential Determination No. 2023-06 of March 27, 
                2023

                
Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 
                303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended, 
                on Printed Circuit Boards and Advanced Packaging 
                Production Capability

                Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense

                Ensuring a robust, resilient, and sustainable domestic 
                industrial base is essential for the national defense. 
                Therefore, by the authority vested in me as President 
                by the Constitution and the laws of the United States 
                of America, including section 303 of the Defense 
                Production Act of 1950, as amended (the ``Act'') (50 
                U.S.C. 4533), I hereby determine, pursuant to section 
                303(a)(5) of the Act, that:

(1) printed circuit boards and advanced packaging, their components, and 
the manufacturing systems that produce such systems and components are 
industrial resources, materials, or critical technology items essential to 
national defense;

(2) without Presidential action under section 303 of the Act, United States 
industry cannot reasonably be expected to provide the capability for the 
needed industrial resource, material, or critical technology item in a 
timely manner; and

(3) purchases, purchase commitments, or other action pursuant to section 
303 of the Act are the most cost-effective, expedient, and practical 
alternative method for meeting the need.

                Pursuant to section 303(a)(7)(B) of the Act, I find 
                that action to expand the domestic production 
                capability for printed circuit boards and advanced 
                packaging is necessary to avert an industrial resource 
                or critical technology item shortfall that would 
                severely impair national defense capability. Therefore, 
                I waive the requirements of section 303(a)(1)-(a)(6) of 
                the Act for the purpose of expanding the domestic 
                production capability for these supply chains.

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,
