The U.S. should push for export controlled semiconductors to be installed with a mechanism that would automatically bar those chips from being used in ways that violate U.S. export restrictions, researchers said in a new report this week. They said this would significantly aid export enforcement efforts and could potentially allow compliant chip companies to sell to a broader range of customers.
The Commerce Department announced on Jan. 4 that it has agreed to provide about $162 million to Microchip Technology under the Chips Act to nearly triple semiconductor production at the company’s facilities in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Gresham, Oregon.
The State Department’s recently published fall 2023 regulatory agenda mentions rules that will update defense export controls and make other changes and clarifications to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations.

The Netherlands “partially revoked” an ASML export license that allowed the Dutch chip equipment maker to send certain advanced semiconductor equipment to China, ASML said Jan. 1. The company said it now faces new restrictions on exports of NXT:2050i and NXT:2100i lithography systems to China, which it said will affect a “small number” of customers in the country.
The Market Choice Act, which would end fuel taxes while imposing a carbon tax, was reintroduced in the House of Representatives this month by Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., and Salud Carbajal, D-Calif. The bill, an acronym for "Modernizing America with Rebuilding to Kickstart the Economy of the Twenty-first Century with a Historic Infrastructure-Centered Expansion Act," would require domestic producers to pay a price for carbon, and also would place a tariff on imports if those countries don't have equivalent carbon taxes. It would provide a rebate to manufacturing exporters and sectors that process ores, soda ash and phosphate. It wouldn't cover mining and fossil fuel extraction.
The Commerce Department published its fall 2023 regulatory agenda for the Bureau of Industry and Security, including proposed rules involving its export controls for semiconductors and semiconductor equipment.
