No officer or employee of the Federal Government may intentionally target, for the purpose of acquiring foreign intelligence information, any person to acquire information, regardless of whether such targeting or acquisition occurs inside or outside the United States, if a significant purpose of the acquisition is to acquire the information of a particular, known covered person, unless— the officer or employee has a reasonable belief that an emergency exists involving a threat of imminent death or serious bodily harm to such covered person; the information is sought for the purpose of assisting that person; and not later than 14 days after the targeting, a description of the targeting is provided to the congressional intelligence committees in a timely manner; or the covered person has provided consent to the targeting, or if such covered person is incapable of providing consent, a third party legally authorized to consent on behalf of such covered person has provided consent.
This section shall not apply to— an acquisition carried out pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 ( 50 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. ); or an acquisition carried out pursuant to a warrant issued pursuant to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure by a court of competent jurisdiction covering the period of the acquisition and the acquisition is subject to the use, dissemination, querying, retention, and other minimization limitations required by such warrant.
