Do the FIRRMA regulations change CFIUS’s jurisdiction over transactions that could result in control of a U.S. business by a foreign person?

No.  CFIUS maintains its authority to review the potential national security effects of any transaction that could result in foreign control of any U.S. business.  The regulations expand CFIUS’s jurisdiction over certain “non-controlling” transactions and certain real estate transactions.
