Stronger reviews of investments near nuclear sites

This bill would require the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to review transactions completed on or after January 1, 2017 that involve real estate, businesses, critical infrastructure, or other assets located within, adjacent to, or supporting U.S. nuclear-triad facilities. Covered facilities would include intercontinental ballistic missile sites, ballistic missile submarine bases and shipyards, strategic bomber bases, weapons storage areas, nuclear command-and-control systems, and NNSA production or research sites. The review would assess whether a transaction poses a national security risk and whether mitigation, reopening of review, or a recommendation to the President under section 721(d) of the Defense Production Act of 1950 is warranted. The Secretary of the Treasury would have to send a classified report to the House and Senate Appropriations and Armed Services Committees within 180 days of enactment, with an unclassified summary as practicable.
