The government would continue using a surveillance tool that allows intelligence agencies to collect communications from foreign targets without individual court warrants, as long as the target is reasonably believed to be outside the United States.

The change affects how the FBI, NSA, and other intelligence agencies can monitor suspected foreign threats and their communications.
