Biden Administration To Evaluate Critical U.S. Supply Chains For Resiliency

On February 24, 2021, President Biden issued Executive Order 14017 ("EO 14017") establishing a wide-ranging evaluation of America's supply chains that will take place over the next twelve months. The assessment will follow two tracks.

The first is a 100-day review involving four specific supply chains:

• semiconductors and advanced packaging;
• high-capacity batteries;
• critical minerals and other identified strategic materials; and
• active pharmaceutical ingredients.

The second is a year-long review of six sectors:

• defense industrial base;
• public health and biological preparedness industrial base;
• information and communications technology (ICT) industrial base;
