## Summary

**Would add the Secretary of the Interior to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) for land and resource deals near federal lands.** It would also create a time-limited process for reviewing certain land or resource acquisitions by foreign persons from designated adversary countries. - Would give the Secretary of the Interior a formal role on CFIUS for transactions that involve land or resources adjacent to sites managed by the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, National Park Service, or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. - Would require the Interior Secretary to notify CFIUS of "reportable land or resource transactions" when a foreign person from the People’s Republic of China, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, or the Islamic Republic of Iran seeks to acquire an interest in land or resources. CFIUS would then decide if the transaction is a covered transaction and whether to open a review or take another authorized action. - Would end the notification and review requirement for a specific foreign country once that country is removed from the "foreign adversaries" list in 15 CFR 791.4.
