U.S.C. 6622 to direct the National
Science and Technology Council
(NSTC) to develop and update, in
coordination with the National
Economic Council, a strategic plan to
improve government coordination and
provide long-term guidance for Federal
programs and activities in support of
United States manufacturing
competitiveness, including advanced
manufacturing research and
development (R&D). Pursuant to this
requirement, NSTC seeks to develop a
National Strategic Plan for Advanced
Manufacturing (‘‘Plan’’) that will create
jobs, grow the economy across multiple
industrial sectors, strengthen national
security, and improve healthcare.
Advanced manufacturing refers to a
family of activities relating to the use
and coordination of information,
automation, computation, software,
sensing, networking, and
interoperability to manufacture existing
products in new ways, or to
manufacture new products emerging
from the use of new technologies.
NSTC has commenced the
development of the Plan and, pursuant
to 42 U.S.C. 6622, is soliciting public
input through this RFI to obtain
recommendations from a wide range of
stakeholders, including representatives
from diverse manufacturing companies,
academia, and other relevant
organizations and institutions. The
public input provided in response to
this RFI will inform OSTP and NSTC as
they work with Federal agencies and
other stakeholders to develop the Plan.
Questions To Inform Development of
the Plan
Through this RFI, OSTP seeks
responses to the following questions to
improve government coordination and
provide long-term guidance for Federal
programs and activities in support of
United States manufacturing
competitiveness, including advanced
manufacturing R&D. Responses should
clearly indicate which question(s) is
being addressed.
1. In priority order, what should be
the near-term and long-term objectives
for advanced manufacturing, including
R&D objectives, the anticipated time
frame for achieving the objectives, and
the metrics for use in assessing progress
toward the objectives?
2. How can Federal agencies and
federally funded R&D centers
supporting advanced manufacturing
R&D foster the transfer of R&D results
into new manufacturing technologies
and United States-based manufacturing
of new products and processes for the
benefit of society to ensure national,
energy, and economic security? What

role can public-private partnerships
play, and how should they be structured
for maximum impact?
3. What innovative tools, platforms,
technologies are needed for advances in
manufacturing? Of those that already
exist, what are the barriers to their
adoption?
4. How can such Federal agencies and
centers develop and strengthen all
levels of manufacturing education and
training programs to ensure an
adequate, well-trained U.S. workforce
for the new advanced manufacturing
jobs of the future?
5. How can such Federal agencies and
centers assist small and medium-sized
manufacturers in developing and
implementing new products and
processes?
6. How would you assess the state of
the following factors and how they
impact innovation and competitiveness
for United States advanced
manufacturing?
(a) technology transfer and
commercialization activities;
(b) the adequacy of the national
security industrial base;
(c) the capabilities of the domestic
manufacturing workforce;
(d) export opportunities and trade
policies;
(e) financing, investment, and
taxation policies and practices;
(f) federal regulations;
(g) emerging technologies and
markets;
(h) advanced manufacturing research
and development undertaken by
competing nations; and
(i) the capabilities of the

nations.
7. Is there any additional information
related to advanced manufacturing in
the United Stated, not requested above,
that you believe OSTP should consider?
