A.2: Uniform Process
Fill intelligence gaps by means of a uniformly managed intelligence process. Other Information:
An intelligence gap is an unanswered question about a terrorism, counterintelligence, cyber, or criminal issue or threat.
In essence, it is “knowing what you don’t know.” Requirements are set by the national Intelligence Community, and analysts
identify intelligence gaps within that framework. Intelligence gaps will be communicated to investigative program managers
at FBI Headquarters and the Office of Intelligence through the submission of program assessments; responses to crime, threat,
or capabilities surveys; as components of operational plans or strategies; or in single issue communications. Additionally,
requirements managers at FBI Headquarters and in Field Intelligence Groups will maintain a list of existing intelligence gaps
for each FBI investigative priority. Intelligence gaps will be incorporated by the Office of Intelligence into FBI-wide requirements
and collection plans and strategies to ensure that the intelligence needs of the FBI and those of our national, international,
state, and local partners are addressed. Both Headquarters operational entities and Field Intelligence Groups will be tasked
with satisfying these intelligence requirements. Requirements that cannot be satisfied within the FBI will be communicated
as requests to external agencies. Priority Actions: Establish and oversee the Intelligence Requirements and Collection Management
process to fill the intelligence needs of internal and external customers. Oversee intelligence functions by establishing
a Field Intelligence Group in every field office to support the field requirements process and target collection efforts.
Oversee and coordinate intelligence work that is conducted by Headquarters components.
