“Ask CHIPS” Information Collection

The Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors for America Incentives Program (hereafter, “The CHIPS Incentives Program” or “CHIPS”) aims to catalyze long-term growth in the domestic semiconductor industry in support of U.S. economic resilience and national security. The CHIPS Incentives Program can provide direct funding (via grants, cooperative agreements, or other transactions), loans, and loan guarantees (collectively, “CHIPS Incentives”) for eligible projects. CHIPS Incentives will support investments in the construction expansion, and modernization of commercial facilities in the United States for the front- and back-end fabrication of leading-edge, current-generation, and mature-node semiconductors. The amounts available under the CHIPS Act are as follows: • for CHIPS Direct Funding, up to $38,217,700,000; and • for CHIPS Loans and CHIPS Loan Guarantees, up to $75,000,000,000 in direct loan or guaranteed principal CHIPS intends to establish a customer relationship management solution (CRM) to support program initiatives. CHIPS expects to engage with a wide range of customers across a variety of business needs, and requires a CRM solution to track, manage, and report on these customer interactions. As part of this CRM solution, CHIPS will simplify customer requests to meet with the CHIPS team by implementing a public-facing engagement request form at https://askchips.chips.gov/
