SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board seeks public comments regarding
questions it should explore, and recommendations it should consider
making, in connection with its oversight project to examine the
surveillance program operated pursuant to section 702 of FISA, in
anticipation of the December 2023 sunset date for section 702 and the
upcoming public and Congressional consideration of its reauthorization.
The goals of the Oversight Project are to ensure that privacy and civil
liberties are protected in the course of the Executive Branch's use of
its Section 702 authorities, and to ensure that Congress and the public
are able appropriately to assess and consider the program's value and
efficacy in protecting the nation's security and producing useful
intelligence.
The Board's review will include an examination of significant
changes to the operation of the 702 program since the Board's Report on
the Surveillance Program Operated Pursuant to Section 702 of the
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (July 2, 2014) (``2014 Report''),
investigation of U.S. Person queries of information collected under
section 702, investigation of `Upstream' collection conducted pursuant
to section 702, and review of the program's past and projected value
and efficacy, as well as the adequacy of existing privacy and civil
liberties safeguards.
David Coscia,
Agency Liaison Officer, Office of Presidential & Congressional Agency
Liaison Services, General Services Administration.
