This policy, which applies department-wide, provides department components with standard guidance for the use of cell-site simulators in the department's domestic criminal investigations and will establish new management controls for the use of the technology.

When acting pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, as amended, Department of Justice components will make a probable-cause based showing and appropriate disclosures to the court in a manner that is consistent with the guidance set forth in this policy."
