Review of Domestic Sharing of Counterterrorism Information

Recommendations: DOJ OIG recommends that FBI:
17. Direct FBI field divisions to identify and invite key stakeholders to
TRP sessions.
18. Determine the agencies with which it should share its
counterterrorism-related TRP results and implement a process to ensure
the TRP results are appropriately shared with those agencies on a
systemic and regular basis.
ODNI Field Based Elements Support to Counterterrorism Information
Sharing
The ODNI has two programs focused on the field-based
sharing of counterterrorism information: the Domestic DNI
Representative (DDNIR) program and the NCTC Domestic
Representative program. The OIGs found that although the
DDNIR program has gained momentum and progress has
been made, the program is hindered by large geographic
regions, as well as the lack of a clear strategic vision and
guidance for it to reach its full potential. The OIGs found
that the NCTC Domestic Representative program, although
well received in the field, has also struggled to sufficiently
cover its regions.
The Domestic DNI Representative Program
The DDNIR program plays a role in facilitating the sharing of
counterterrorism information. A November 2011 Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA), “Domestic Director of National Intelligence Representatives,” governs
the DDNIR program between the ODNI and the FBI under Intelligence
Community Directive 402, “Director of National Intelligence Representatives.”
