Gina Raimodo, the U.S. Commerce Secretary, told the outlet that her department has been preparing for months for the new program.

“We are committed to a process that is transparent and fair. We will move as swiftly as possible to deploy these funds, while also ensuring the time needed to perform due diligence,” Riamondo told Reuters.

Biden’s order sets six primary priorities to guide implementation and establishes a 16-member interagency CHIPS implementation council to be co-chaired by National Economic Director Brian Deese, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, and Acting Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Alondra Nelson. The council will include the secretaries of Defense, State, Commerce, Treasury, Labor and Energy.

It is still not clear when Commerce will formally make available semiconductor chips funding for prospective applications or how long it will take to make awards.

The Biden administration added that the program “will include rigorous review of applications along with robust compliance and accountability requirements to ensure taxpayer funds are protected and spent wisely.”

Despite this being an initiative from the Biden administration, some progressives say the bill is a bit of a giveaway to already profitable chip companies that have already closed their U.S. plants.
