On September 17, the U.S. Department of the Treasury proposed regulations to implement provisions of the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (FIRRMA). Among other things, the proposed rules would provide the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States (CFIUS) the ability to review non-controlling investments involving critical infrastructure and sensitive data, mandate certain filings by foreign government-affiliated investors, and codify certain exceptions and exclusions to CFIUS's jurisdiction. A separate proposal would expand CFIUS's jurisdiction to certain real estate transactions. Comments on each of the proposed rulemakings are due by October 17. Release. NPR (General).
