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.
