section 702(b)(2), section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Act of 1978 has always prohibited, and continues to prohibit, the
intelligence community from targeting a United States person for
collection of foreign intelligence information. If the intelligence
community intends to target a United States person for collection of
foreign intelligence information under the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act of 1978, the Government must first obtain an
individualized court order based upon a finding of probable cause that
the United States person is a foreign power, an agent of a foreign
power, or an officer or employee of a foreign power, in order to conduct
surveillance targeting that United States person.
(b) Annual Audit of Targeting Decisions Under Section 702.--
(1) Mandatory review.--Not less frequently than annually,
the Department of Justice National Security Division shall
review each person targeted under section 702 of the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 in the preceding
[[Page 138 STAT. 868]]
year to ensure that the purpose of each targeting decision is
not to target a known United States person. The results of this
review shall be submitted to the Department of Justice Office of
the Inspector General, the congressional intelligence
committees, and the Committees on the Judiciary of the House of
Representatives and of the Senate, subject to a declassification
review.
(2) <<NOTE: Reports.>> Inspector general audit.--Not less
frequently than annually, the Department of Justice Office of
the Inspector General shall audit a sampling of the targeting
decisions reviewed by the National Security Division under
paragraph (1) and submit a report to the congressional
intelligence committees and the Committees on the Judiciary of
the House of Representatives and of the Senate.
(3) <<NOTE: Deadline.>> Certification.--Within 180 days of
enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter, each agency
authorized to target non-United States persons under section 702
shall certify to Congress that the purpose of each targeting
decision made in the prior year was not to target a known United
States person.
(4) Application.--The requirements under this subsection
apply for any year to the extent that section 702 of the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 was in effect during any
portion of the previous year.

granted or denied by the same judge who issued the original
order unless the term of such judge has expired or such judge is
otherwise no longer serving on the court.''.
