Summary

Continued Reporting of Intercepted Wire, Oral, and Electronic Communications Act - Amends the Federal criminal code to exempt from termination provisions of the Federal Reports Elimination and Sunset Act of 1995 the reports that the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts is required to transmit to Congress each April concerning the number of applications for orders authorizing or approving wire, oral, or electronic communications interception and the number of extensions granted or denied during the preceding calendar year. (Sec. 4) Requires the Attorney General or specified other officials to report to the Administrative Office each January on the number of such orders in which encryption was encountered and whether such encryption prevented law enforcement from obtaining the plain text of communications intercepted. (Sec. 5) Directs the Attorney General to include within an annual report to Congress on pen registers and trap and trace devices information concerning: (1) the period of interceptions authorized by each order and the number and duration of any extensions of the order; (2) the offense specified in the order, application, or extension of an order; (3) the number of investigations involved; (4) the number and nature of the facilities affected; and (5) the identity, including district, of the applying investigative or law enforcement agency making the application and the person authorizing the order.
