Did FIRRMA change CFIUS’s timeline for reviews?

Yes.  The timeline for CFIUS reviews changed upon enactment of FIRRMA.  The review period for any notice accepted after FIRRMA became effective is a maximum of 45 days, rather than 30 days.  If an investigation is required, it will commence no later than the end of the 45-day review period prescribed by FIRRMA.
