Summary:

Section 702 statutorily authorizes the government to target non-U.S. persons, reasonably believed to be located outside the United States, in order to collect foreign intelligence information using the compelled assistance of U.S. electronic communications service providers (ECSPs). The government may target only individuals who are expected to communicate, receive, or possess foreign intelligence information within given categories of intelligence previously authorized by the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and certified for collection by the FISC. This report presents PCLOB's findings in an unclassified format to the greatest extent possible, consistent with the protection of classified information and applicable law. It carries forward and updates factual and legal information from the 2014 PCLOB Report, and adds new discussions where substantial changes have been implemented, greater transparency is now possible, or new information has become available. New sets of recommendations and Board Member statements are also included. There is also a Classified Annex to this Report (Annex C) and to the Separate Statement of Board Members Beth A. Williams and Richard E. DiZinno (Annex D)
