Why Now?

On December 27, 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) issued the final rule implementing Executive Order (“EO”) 14117. This final rule, which becomes effective 90 days after publication in the Federal Register, imposes due diligence, reporting, and auditing requirements that are expected to take effect in late 2025. The rule will permit DOJ to investigate potential violations and establishes significant civil and criminal penalties for violators.

This ETA Spotlight Call will focus on how to think about the final rules and the implications for payments companies.

Why This Matters?

The final rule will afford the Trump administration a new and significant avenue to address national security risks related to China. It is expected to be vigorously enforced. Companies that engage in bulk data transactions—for example, social media, e-commerce and electronic payment platforms; data marketplaces and aggregators, healthcare and insurance providers; biotechnology companies; and the employees, vendors, and other third parties with whom companies in such industries do business—should be aware of what the rule requires and begin developing an effective compliance program that takes into account due diligence, reporting, and auditing requirements.
