Background
The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) was established under the National Science and Technology Policy, Organization and Priorities Act of 1976 to provide scientific, engineering and technical advice to the rest of the Office of Administration on topics such as the economy, homeland security, health, foreign relations, the environment, and the technological restoration and use of resources. The OSTP is responsible for leading cross-departmental science and technology policy coordination, assisting the Office of Management and Budget in conducting annual reviews and analyses of the federal research and development budget, and providing science and technology analysis and judgment on major federal policies, programs, and projects. To generate this updated list of CETs, the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) facilitated an extensive cross-sectoral review process through the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) and in coordination with the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC). The NSTC subcommittee in charge includes experts from 18 departments, agencies, and offices of the Executive Office who have identified CET subareas that their organizations believe may be critical to the United States. As a result, the updated CET list was coordinated between the NSTC and the NSC and reflects the cross-sectoral consensus on the 2022 CETS update.
Significance for the United States
The importance of the Critical and Emerging Technologies List to the United States is mainly reflected in the following aspects:First, the list identifies key and emerging technologies that could have a significant impact on the United States.
