be LUE (U} SE To: [| From: Office of the General Counsel Re: 278-HO-C1229736-ViO, 12/26/2006 response to the properly served NSL, the FBI obtained information regarding other indivuduals that were not relevant to the investigation.’ It appears that this information, although lawfully obtained, is not relevant to the investigation and was properly segregated to protect the potential privacy interests of United States persons. Once information not relevant to an authorized investigation is received, the field should contact the carrier and ask whether the unintentionally acquired information should be returned or destroyed with appropriate documentation to the file. (U) Based upon these facts, in accordance with the terms implementing the reporting requirements of Section 2.4 of EO 12863, it is our opinion that this error is not reportable to the IOB. A record of this decision should be maintained in the control file for future review by the Counsel to the IOB. Oe The target's rights were not violated because he was not the subject of the improperly collected information. Tt is unknown, however, whether the information associated with the other subscriber pertained to a United States Person inasmuch as there has been no review of the information. an ; rad
