The FBI is working to build an automated system to track its National
Security Letter wiretap cases in a bid to eliminate cumbersome and
error-prone manual entry of data about the eavesdropping projects. The
bureau currently relies on Microsoft Access software to track wiretap
requests in the Office of General Counsel (OGC) database.

FBI deputy director John Pistole told the House Permanent Select Committee
on Intelligence earlier this year that although “the OGC database was a
giant technological step forward from three-by-five index cards once used
to track NSLs, it is not an acceptable system given the significant
increase in use of NSLs since 9/11.”

The new NSL database management system will use a Java Enterprise Edition
application server from Red Hat subsidiary JBoss using Oracle software and
is due to roll out Dec. 31.
