To reinforce the scope of standards-setting provisions within the CHIPS Act, this primer aims to identify and evaluate the critical characteristics, implications, and stakeholders of standards-setting processes, as well as forums where these activities take place. Further, it will identify critical aspects of standards-setting processes as they relate to design, production, and innovation of semiconductors and related to critical emerging technologies (i.e., information communication technologies). Finally, this primer will contextualize emerging challenges to the standards-setting ecosystem and offer potential recommendations in addressing these challenges.
