To whom does the new legislation apply? Is it country-specific?

Like prior CFIUS legislation, FIRRMA does not single out investors from any specific country.  CFIUS’s authorities may be applied to address the national security risks posed by foreign investment in the United States, regardless of where the investment originates.  Investors from certain countries may qualify as “excepted investors” based on whether they meet specified criteria in the CFIUS regulations.  Meeting these criteria may exempt certain investors from CFIUS jurisdiction over certain transactions, or from mandatory filing

requirements.  For further information, refer to the Excepted Foreign States page.
