## Section 3:  Authorities And Relationships

The DoD SIOO:
a.  Has complete and unrestricted access to all information concerning DoD intelligence and intelligence-related activities regardless of classification or compartmentalization, including intelligence special access programs, from all DoD Components and personnel, in carrying out assigned responsibilities and functions.  Access to information in IG files must be in accordance with the Inspector General Act of 1978.  Access to classified information must be in accordance with the requirements of applicable security policy.  This specifically includes the authority to:
(1)  Require responsible investigative officials of a DoD Component to report QIAs;
S/HSMs; allegations of improprieties or illegalities of intelligence and intelligence-related activities by, or within, a DoD Component; or allegations regarding an intelligence or intelligence-related activity that a reasonable person would believe may be contrary to a federal law, E.O., Presidential directive, Intelligence Community Directive, or DoD issuance.

(2)  Obtain information on the status, proceedings, and findings of DoD Component investigations of intelligence and intelligence-related activities.
b.  Communicates immediately and directly with the Secretary of Defense or Deputy Secretary of Defense, as circumstances require.  Communicates directly with the DoD
Component heads, as necessary, to carry out assigned responsibilities and functions, including the transmission of requests for advice and assistance.
(1)  Must communicate with the Military Departments through the Secretaries of the Military Departments, their designees, or as otherwise provided in law or directed by the Secretary of Defense in other DoD issuances.

(2)  Must communicate with the Combatant Commanders in accordance with Paragraph
4.b.(3) of DoDD 5100.01, except as provided for in memorandums of agreement concerning personnel support.

Communications with representatives of the Legislative Branch must be conducted through the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Legislative Affairs and be consistent with the DoD Legislative Program and DoDD 5142.01.



## Section 4:  Procedures

This section provides the procedures by which the DoD Components identify, investigate, and report QIAs and S/HSMs.

## 4.1.  Identification.

a.  DoD personnel must identify any QIA or S/HSM to their chain of command or supervision immediately.  If it is not practical to report a QIA or S/HSM to the chain of command or supervision, reports may be made to the DoD Component legal counsel or IG; the GC DoD; the DoD SIOO; the Joint Staff IG or intelligence oversight officer; the Legal Counsel to the CJCS; the IG DoD; or the Intelligence Community IG.

b.  Non-statutory DoD Component IGs will inspect their respective Components to determine whether such components are involved in any QIA or S/HSM.  Pursuant to the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended, statutory DoD Component IGs have the authority to inspect their respective components to determine whether such components are involved in any QIA or S/HSM, but exercise of this authority is discretionary.  If a statutory DoD Component IG
chooses not to conduct intelligence oversight inspections, the DoD Component head will designate another component official to conduct the inspections.  If an inspection discovers a QIA or S/HSM, the matter will be reported and investigated in accordance with Paragraphs 4.2. through 4.5.

c.  Non-statutory DoD Component IGs will inspect their respective Components to determine whether any element within their respective jurisdictions is conducting intelligence or counterintelligence activities without an assigned mission to do so.  Statutory DoD Component IGs may choose to inspect their respective components to determine whether any element within their jurisdictions is conducting intelligence or counterintelligence activities without an assigned mission to do so; if a statutory DoD Component IG chooses not to conduct intelligence oversight inspections, the DoD Component head will designate another component official to conduct the inspections.  If the inspections identify an element within the DoD Component that is conducting intelligence or counterintelligence activities without an assigned mission to do so, the matter will be reported and investigated in accordance with Paragraphs 4.2. through 4.5.
d.  Non-statutory DoD Component IGs will inspect their respective components to verify that procedures exist for reporting QIAs and S/HSMs and that employees are effectively trained on and consistently comply with their intelligence oversight responsibilities.  Statutory DoD Component IGs may choose to inspect their respective components to verify that procedures exist for reporting QIAs and S/HSMs and that employees are effectively trained on and consistently comply with their intelligence oversight responsibilities; if a statutory DoD
Component IG chooses not to conduct intelligence oversight inspections, the DoD Component head will designate another component official to conduct the inspections.
e.  DoD personnel responsible for drafting the performance requirements (statement of work)
for any contract under which contractor personnel will be conducting intelligence or intelligencerelated activities or supporting those efforts under DoD authorities shall ensure that the contact requires contractor personnel to report any QIA or S/HSM to appropriate Government officials identified in the contract.  Officials to whom any such report is made should proceed in accordance with Paragraph 4.1.a.

## 4.2.  Investigation.

a.  Each report of a QIA or S/HSM will be investigated to the extent necessary to determine the facts and to assess whether the activity is legal and consistent with applicable policies. Investigations will be conducted in accordance with procedures established by the investigating DoD Component or the investigating DoD Component IG, as applicable.  At a minimum, investigations will require a written report that includes a description of the incident and a determination of whether the allegation was substantiated.  If the allegation is substantiated, the report will include findings of fact, an assessment of the cause, and recommended remedial action to prevent recurrence.

b.  All QIAs and S/HSMs will be referred to the corresponding DoD Component IG for further investigation or other action under an appropriate authority as determined by the DoD Component head.  All QIAs and S/HSMs referred to a DoD Component IG will be reviewed by the corresponding DoD Component legal counsel to determine whether the activity is legal and consistent with applicable policy.  If the DoD Component IG or legal counsel determines that the activity may constitute a crime or indicate a person may be acting for or on behalf of a foreign intelligence entity, they must also report the activity to a supporting Defense Criminal Investigative Organization or Military Department Counterintelligence Organization in accordance with DoD policy.

c.  Investigations will be conducted expeditiously, consistent with Component requirements for thoroughness and accuracy and the protection of the rights of any subject of the investigation. Officials responsible for these investigations may obtain assistance from within the DoD
Component concerned or from other DoD Components to complete such investigations in a timely manner.  Any disagreement between DoD Components concerning investigative authority or jurisdiction will be raised immediately to the DoD SIOO or GC DoD for resolution.

d.  Before closing the incident in the DoD quarterly intelligence oversight report, the DoD
SIOO and GC DoD will review the results of all QIA and S/HSM investigations to assess independently the effectiveness of the investigation in identifying the cause and recommending action to prevent recurrence.  Based on this review, the DoD SIOO and GC DoD may require that the investigating authority consider additional factors or provide additional information. The DoD SIOO may also initiate an independent investigation.

## 4.3.  Reporting Parameters.

a.  The DoD Components will report the following matters to the DoD SIOO:
(1)  QIAs.
(2)  S/HSMs.
(3)  Any intelligence or intelligence-related activity that has been or will be reported to the U.S. Attorney General, or that must be reported to the U.S. Attorney General as required by law or other directive, including crimes required by E.O. 12333 to be reported to the U.S. Attorney General.

b.  The DoD Components will notify the DoD SIOO before providing briefings to any congressional committee, member of Congress, or congressional staff concerning intelligence or intelligence-related matters that meet the reporting criteria for QIAs, S/HSMs, or crimes reported to the U.S. Attorney General, unless extenuating circumstances exist.  Should extenuating circumstances prevent advance notification to the DoD SIOO, then he or she will be updated on the briefing's outcome as soon as possible.

c.  The DoD Components may also establish internal intelligence oversight reporting policies consistent with this issuance and other applicable DoD policies.

## 4.4.  Reporting Timelines.  The Dod Components Will Report:

a.  All S/HSMs immediately to the DoD SIOO.  Such reports may be made by any secure means.  Oral reports will be documented with a written report as soon as possible thereafter. Initial reports will be supplemented as additional information becomes available.  Supplemental reports will be identified in such a manner that they can be accurately related to the relevant initial reports.

b.  QIAs quarterly to the DoD SIOO.  Quarterly reporting periods are based on the calendar year.  The first report for each calendar year will cover January 1 through March 31.  Succeeding reports will follow at 3-month intervals.  Quarterly reports are due by the 15th day of the month following the end of the quarter, unless other arrangements have been approved by the DoD SIOO.  Quarterly reports will describe all QIAs, S/HSMs, and crimes required by E.O. 12333 to be reported to the U.S. Attorney General that were identified during the quarter.  Quarterly reports are required even if no QIA or S/HSM occurred during the reporting period.

## 4.5.  Reporting Format.

a.  The DoD Components will submit quarterly reports to the DoD SIOO using the format in Figure 1, or a format approved by the DoD SIOO.  The body of the report will be in an editable Word format.

b.  The DoD Components will assign a sequential case number for each QIA and S/HSM that identifies the DoD Component and calendar year; add a suffix (either "Q" or "S" to indicate a QIA or S/HSM).  For example:  "DIA 2009 - 04 - Q" would indicate the fourth incident reported by Defense Intelligence Agency in calendar year 2009 that is also a QIA.  Use this number each time the incident is mentioned in initial reports and in updates and close-out reports.
c.  The DoD Components will organize each quarterly report under the major headings of
"New Incidents," "Previously Reported Incidents," "Crimes Reported,"  "Trend Analysis," and "Significant Inspection Findings/Intelligence Oversight Program Developments."
(1)  The section under "New Incidents" will list all QIAs and S/HSMs reported during the quarter, including:

(a)  A narrative describing the incident.
(b)  A statement describing when the incident occurred, when it was initially reported within the DoD Component, and when it was reported to the DoD SIOO; if applicable, explain any delay in reporting.
(c)  An explanation of why the incident is considered a QIA or S/HSM, if so reported.
For each QIA, identify the specific law, E.O., Presidential directive, Intelligence Community Directive, or applicable DoD policy that was violated.  For each S/HSM, explain why the incident could impugn the reputation of the Intelligence Community or otherwise call into question the propriety of intelligence activities.
(d)  An analysis of how or why the incident occurred, identifying the root cause.
(e)  An assessment of the anticipated impact of the reported incident on national security or international relations, as well as any mitigation efforts, including success and failures of such efforts.  If there has been no impact or if no impact is anticipated, the report should state this.
(f)  An assessment of any impact the reported incident may have on civil liberties or privacy rights.

(g)  The remedial action taken or planned to prevent recurrence of the incident.
Include a description of actions taken if the incident concerns information (including U.S. person information) improperly acquired, handled, used, disseminated, or destroyed.
(h)  Any additional information required to provide complete and accurate reports to the Secretary of Defense, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, the IOB, and the DNI, or to provide context about the incident.

(i)  An indication of whether the incident is open or closed.  If open, provide the status of the ongoing investigation.  If closed, indicate whether any allegations were substantiated or not substantiated.
(2)  The section under "Previously Reported Incidents" will list QIAs and S/HSMs still under investigation as well as those resolved and closed during the quarter, with the same information in Paragraphs 4.5.c.(1)(a) through (i).
(3)  The section under "Crimes Reported" will list alleged crimes reported to the U.S.

Attorney General during the quarter in accordance with Paragraph 4.3.a.(3).

(4)  The section under "Trend Analysis" will include metrics and identify and explain common causal factors.  Include data over a timeframe appropriate for the type of activity reported.
(5)  The section under "Significant Inspection Findings/Intelligence Oversight Program Developments" will include a description of any significant internal inspection findings or intelligence oversight program developments.
