§1807 Report of Electronic Surveillance

Summary

Every April, the Attorney General must send a report about the previous calendar year to the Administrative Office of the United States Courts, the congressional intelligence committees, and the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. The report must say the total number of applications for orders and extensions to approve electronic surveillance under this subchapter; how many of those orders and extensions were granted, changed, or denied; and the total number of people targeted under an order or emergency authorization, rounded to the nearest 500, including how many were U.S. persons reported in bands of 500 beginning 0–499. The report must be unclassified when that is consistent with national security. Within 7 days after sending the report, the Attorney General must make it public, or if that would harm national security, publish an unclassified summary or a redacted version.
