The Department of the Treasury issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on October 22, 2026, a draft regulation open to public comment. It would implement the Comprehensive Outbound Investment National Security (COINS) Act, which Congress passed in December 2025 within the Fiscal Year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act.

The proposal would expand the Outbound Investment Security Program, according to Kelley Drye & Warren. Ropes & Gray calls it a broader outbound investment regime.
