The U.S. Department of the Treasury, as Chair of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), today launched a redesigned website, CFIUS.gov, aimed at modernizing information organization and introducing new features to help parties better understand and navigate CFIUS processes.
This initiative seeks to improve the accessibility of existing content and provide additional resources for earlier, more effective engagement with the Committee. The new site introduces a pre-filing consultations portal, allowing parties to submit transaction information and ask questions early in the process, which is intended to support more efficient reviews.
It also features a high-level risk matrix detailing common national security risks and illustrative mitigation measures, alongside new process guidance on declarations, notices, avoiding delays, and submitting organizational charts. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, "CFIUS plays a critical role in protecting U.S. national security while ensuring the United States remains the world’s most attractive destination for investment."
Bessent added that "With this new website, the Trump Administration is significantly upgrading CFIUS’s customer service, making it easier for companies, investors, and their counsel to find the information they need, understand our processes, and facilitate greater foreign investment in the United States, consistent with the goals of President Trump’s America First Investment Policy.” Assistant Secretary for Investment Security Chris Pilkerton emphasized, “Today’s launch reflects Treasury’s continued commitment to transparency, accessibility, and operational excellence in investment security." He noted that the website "will help parties move more efficiently through the CFIUS process and engage with the Committee early and effectively.” The site also provides information on key initiatives of Treasury’s Office of Investment Security, including the Known Investor Program and the Investment Security Technology Initiative, which will be updated as these efforts develop.
