The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States

CFIUS is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States and certain real estate transactions by foreign persons, in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States. CFIUS operates pursuant to section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (section 721), and as implemented by Executive Order 11858, as amended, and the regulations at chapter VIII of title 31 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

  • For each CFIUS transaction, the Department of Defense affirms the transaction will not impair national security or certify to Congress there are no unresolved national security concerns. In some cases, the transaction is referred to the President for decision to prohibit or unwind the transaction.

The Military Aviation and Installation Assurance Siting Clearinghouse

The Military Aviation and Installation Assurance Siting Clearinghouse (The Clearinghouse) works with industry to overcome risks to national security while promoting compatible domestic energy development. Energy production facilities and transmission projects involving tall structures, such as wind turbines, solar power towers and panels, and electrical transmission towers, may degrade military testing and training operations. In the national system of ground-based surveillance radars, the creation of "clutter" generated from wind turbines can present a hazard to air safety and surveillance. Wind turbines located near military test and training ranges can also impact airborne military radar capabilities. Likewise, solar systems may present hazards to aircraft and air traffic control tower operations due to possible "glint" or longer duration "glare" reflecting off of panels. Finally, the electromagnetic interference from electricity transmission lines can impact critical Department of Defense testing activities. The Clearinghouse office is part of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy, Installations, and Environment.
