National Applications Office certification review, (electronic resource)

Creator
Summary
Since the 1960s, classified satellite information collected by intelligence agencies1 has been used, from time to time, by federal civilian agencies and other non-intelligence entities for civil, scientific, and environmental purposes (such as mapping, disaster relief, and environmental research). Following the events of September 11, 2001, attention has turned to information sharing as a key element in developing comprehensive and practical approaches to defending against potential terrorist attacks. In 2007, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence designated the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as the executive agency and home of a newly created National Applications Office (NAO), whose mission would be to process requests for classified satellite information from, among others, nontraditional users of intelligence for civil, homeland security, and law enforcement purposes. On April 9, 2008, in a letter to Members of Congress, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security certified that the NAO complies with all existing laws, including all applicable privacy and civil liberties standards. The Secretary also provided a charter for the office, privacy and civil liberties impact assessments, and NAO standard operating procedures. Our objectives were to determine the extent to which DHS justified its certification that the NAO complies with (1) all applicable laws, (2) privacy standards, and (3) civil liberties standards. This report summarizes the results of our review, provides the public version of the slides, and officially transmits our recommendations to the Secretary of Homeland Security
