Amends the Federal Judicial Code to instruct the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to: (1) periodically review the standards and procedures applicable to such surveillance and security requirements; and (2) make technical recommendations to the Federal banking agencies and the NCUAB on standards and procedures to implement this Act.
