ARLINGTON, VA, August 9, 2022 \u2013 President Biden signed H.R. 4346, the CHIPS and Science
\nAct, which included composites-specific language as part of the NASA Authorization. The
\nAmerican Composites Manufacturers Association (ACMA) applauds the bill which authorizes
\nNASA\u2019s investment in research and development for advanced materials and manufacturing
\nprocesses as well as an advanced materials and manufacturing technology program to develop
\n\u201cnew materials including composites and high temperature materials.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMembers of ACMA\u2019s senior leadership, including myself, met with senior congressional staff in
\nboth the House and Senate on the need for inclusion of composites-specific language in the bill
\nto spur further federal research and development that could then be commercialized. ACMA
\nalso partnered with other major associations in a joint letter calling for the swift passage of this
\nbill. We are very happy that Congress agreed that this is an essential part of U.S.
\ncompetitiveness in aerospace and included this language. This is a tremendous victory for
\nACMA, the composites manufacturing industry, and our customers and partners,\u201d said ACMA
\nVice President of Government Relations Daniel Neumann.<\/p>\n
In particular, ACMA supports the following language:<\/p>\n
The CHIPS and Science Act also supports the development of \u201cadvanced materials and
\nmanufacturing processes, including additive manufacturing, to reduce the cost of manufacturing
\nscale-up and certification for use in aeronautics\u201d and \u201cnoninvasive and nondestructive\u201d testing,
\nincluding for materials and manufacturing processes. Additionally, the legislation urges NASA to
\n\u201creduce the time it takes to design, industrialize, and certify advanced materials and
\nmanufacturing processes,\u201d paving the way for swift innovation in the marketplace.<\/p>\n
