On February 28, 2024, the President signed Executive Order, "Preventing Access to Americans' Bulk Sensitive Personal Data and United States Government-Related Data by Countries of Concern." This Executive Order seeks to address the counterintelligence concerns surrounding adversarial nations' access to Americans' sensitive personal data and government-related data through legitimate commercial transactions.

To begin implementing this authority, DOJ FIRS is responsible for establishing a targeted new regulatory program, modeled in key ways on sanctions and export controls, that will implement these prohibitions and restrictions through categorical regulations. FIRS will also be responsible for administering this program, to including promulgating additional regulations, adjudicating licenses, issuing advisory opinions and guidance, designating persons subject to the jurisdiction, control, ownership, or direction of countries of concern, monitoring compliance, and undertaking enforcement.

FIRS is seeking multiple attorney detailees with a range of experience and expertise to support the implementation of this Executive Order. The contemplated responsibilities of these positions may vary based on the needs of the office, but the experience and expertise sought include the following:
  • Experience with conducting notice and comment rulemakings to include drafting rule language, reviewing and adjudicating comments, and conducting regulatory and economic impact assessments;
  • Experience with administering or supporting International Emergency Economic Powers Act based national security programs such as sanctions or export controls regimes;
  • Experience with performing or supporting targeting of commercial transactions that violate U.S. national security laws or companies or persons that may be subject to U.S. national security restrictions (including in the U.S. intelligence community or through U.S. sanctions or export controls programs);
  • Experience with designating companies or persons for sanctions, such as the Department of the Treasury's Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List, the Department of Commerce's Entity List, the Department of Defense's 1260H List of Chinese Military Companies, the Federal Communication Commission's Covered List, or other similar national security designation processes;
  • Expertise in or experience with data security, data masking, privacy enhancing technologies, and general cyber security; and
