Summary

USA PATRIOT Act Sunset Extension Act of 2009 - Amends the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 to extend until December 31, 2013, provisions: (1) granting roving electronic surveillance authority; and (2) authorizing the production of tangible things (including books, records, papers, and documents) for foreign intelligence and international terrorism investigations. Amends the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to: (1) terminate on December 31, 2013, authorities for the use of national security letters; (2) modify and expand the criteria for issuance of national security letters and orders for access to tangible things and for pen registers and trap and trace devices for foreign intelligence purposes; and (3) revise and expand public reporting requirements under such Act. Amends the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 to extend until December 31, 2013, provisions revising the definition of an "agent of a foreign power" to include any non-U.S. person who engages in international terrorism or preparatory activities ("lone wolf" provision). Amends FISA, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and the Right to Financial Privacy Act to revise provisions limiting disclosure by wire or electronic communication service providers, consumer reporting agencies, and financial institutions of the receipt of a national security letter by: (1) limiting the duration of nondisclosure requirements to one year at a time; (2) setting forth specific grounds for certifying the need for nondisclosure; and (3) granting judicial review of a nondisclosure requirement. Extends through 2012 audit requirements relating to orders for tangible things, pen registers and trap and trace devices, and the use of national security letters.
