S. 433 would require the Department of Commerce to create a National Manufacturing Advisory Council within 180 days of enactment. The council would consist of up to 30 members from private industry, academia, and labor, appointed by the Secretary of Commerce for three-year terms. The council would serve as a communication channel between the federal government and the manufacturing sector, identifying problems affecting U.S. manufacturing and proposing solutions.
The council's main responsibilities would include advising the Commerce Department on manufacturing-related policies and federal programs, identifying technological and workforce trends, and producing an annual national strategic plan. It would also transfer functions from the existing U.S. Manufacturing Council. The council would automatically expire after five years from its first meeting. According to the Congressional Budget Office, operating the council would cost less than $500,000 annually for staff salaries, travel, and other expenses, subject to available funding.
