Title I of the National Security Act of 1947 ( 50 U.S.C. 3021 et seq. ), as amended by section 404 of this Act, is further amended by adding at the end the following new section: The Director of National Intelligence shall ensure that the intelligence community makes efficient and effective use of open-source intelligence. In carrying out subsection (a), the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the heads of the other elements of the intelligence community, shall designate an official of the intelligence community who shall be responsible for the implementation, standardization, and harmonization of the collection and use of open-source intelligence for each of the following areas:
Training, tradecraft, and professionalization. Technology innovation and tool development. Data acquisition, cataloging, and sharing. Collection management and requirements. Partnerships and collaborations with entities that are not elements of the intelligence community, including with respect to the dissemination of open-source intelligence products and tools to departments and agencies of the Federal Government that are not elements of the intelligence community. Standards and governance.
The Director of National Intelligence may designate a single official to be responsible for more than one of the areas identified in subparagraphs
(A)through
(F)of paragraph (1). In carrying out subsection (a), the Director of National Intelligence shall, to the extent practicable— minimize the duplication of open-source intelligence activities and open-source funding allocations among elements of the intelligence community; and ensure that all open-source intelligence efforts undertaken by elements of the intelligence community are appropriately coordinated, documented, and disclosed to the other elements of the intelligence community. Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect the applicability of any law or regulation relating to the privacy or civil liberties of United States persons or data pertaining to United States persons. The term open-source intelligence has the meaning given that term in section 601 of the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026. . Section 1052 of the National Security Intelligence Reform Act of 2004 (title I of Public Law 108–458 ; 50 U.S.C. 3367 ) is repealed.
