New Law Governing Foreign Direct Investment in the United States Brings Significant Changes to CFIUS Review

New law expands CFIUS’ jurisdiction and brings important procedural changes to foreign direct investment review.

Key Points:

..The new legislation extends CFIUS’ jurisdiction to cover non-controlling investments in the areas of critical infrastructure, critical technology, and sensitive personal information.

..The new law alters CFIUS review procedures, authorizes filing fees, and provides for greater resources for CFIUS that may allow for both increased flexibility regarding mitigation and for more active monitoring of transactions not filed.

..The new law requires certain foreign investments in the United States to be submitted to CFIUS for review.

..Forthcoming regulations will determine crucial details of the new law’s implementation, including the regulatory specification of statutory terms such as “emerging and foundational technologies,” relevant to the jurisdictional boundaries of the new law.
