§3314 Report on National Security Systems

Summary

The Director of the National Security Agency must send a report about national security systems to certain Congress committees no later than 120 days after May 5, 2017, and then once each year. The report is prepared with the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "Appropriate committees of Congress" means the congressional intelligence committees, the Senate Appropriations and Armed Services Committees, and the House Appropriations and Armed Services Committees. Each report must say which systems or parts were decertified but are still being used; any requests to extend their use and their current status; which systems are known not to follow the policies, standards, and guidelines issued by the Committee on National Security Systems (established under National Security Directive 42, signed July 5, 1990); and which organizations have not given the NSA Director enough access or information to decide if they are following those policies.
