The NDO Reporting Act requires the Attorney General to publish an annual report detailing how often the federal government requests delayed notice to targets of search warrants and wiretaps. The report, which would be made public on the Department of Justice website while protecting national security information, must break down by federal judicial district the number of applications for delayed notification and the number of orders granting, denying, or extending such requests. This legislation affects law enforcement agencies and the courts that approve delayed notice orders, as well as the general public seeking transparency about surveillance practices. The bill requires the Attorney General to also explain the methodology used to compile these statistics. No specific funding amount or implementation deadline is included in the legislation beyond the requirement to produce the report annually.
