To: All Divisions From: oOGc Re: , 93/9/2006 those delegations in order to assure that all persons with legal authority to sign NSLs have in fact been delegated such authority. Moreover, it also makes sense to have all such delegations consolidated into one document. Thus, the following delegations are being made for purposes of providing signature authority for NSLs and aiso providing the authority to initially certify as to the necessity for non-disclosure of the NSL request and the authority to recertify if the non-disclosure provision is challenged one year or more after the request. Most of the signature delegations already are in effect, while those that are created by this EC will be so noted. Nonetheless, this EC provides an exhaustive list of all of those FBI persons with NSL signature authority and non-disclosure certification and non-disclosure recertification authority.’ Thus, as now permitted by ECPA, the FCPA, and the RFPA, I hereby delegate certification signature authority, non- disclosure certification authority and non-disclosure recertification authority for NSLs to the following FBI Officials: 1. The Deputy Director; 2. The Executive Assistant Director for the National Security Branch;?* 3. The Assistant Executive Assistant Director for the National Security Branch; + This EC consolidates, and to the extent set forth below, revises, the delegations that took effect pursuant to the following ECs: 66F-HQ-A1255972, Serial 15, 66F-HQ-Al1255972, Serial 31; 66F-HQ-A1255972, Serial 33; and 66F-HQ- Al2Z55972, Serial 35. The EC, 66P-HQ-A1255972, Serial 33, providing for delegation of signature authority to The Senior Counsel for National Security Affairs is hereby rescinded, as that position no longer exists. Those portions of 66F-HQ- R12559992, Serials 31 and 35, which delegate signature authority to the Executive Assistant Director for Counterterrorism/Counterintelligence, are hereby rescinded, as that position no longer exists. ‘The delegations of Signature authority to the Executive Assistant Director and the Assistant Executive Assistant Director for the National Security Aranch are new delegations, as those positions have just recently been created. 3
