The Office of the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (IC IG), in consultation with the Intelligence Community Inspectors General Forum, issued new External Review Panel (ERP) procedures in December 2020.
ERPs provide a process for the independent review of allegations for whistleblowers that alleged reprisal for making protected disclosures. If the whistleblower has exhausted the applicable review process within their own agency, they may request that the IC IG convene an independent panel of three inspectors general to review their claims. The new ERP procedures reflect changes in the law since the previous procedures were issued in 2013, and provide additional transparency regarding the submission, assessment, and processing of ERP requests.
