Under the act, the integration cell would be tasked with the following: coordinating and synchronizing all intelligence collection related to the implementation of sanctions against North Korea; integrating the early warning systems of the intelligence community with respect to detecting activities by North Korea to proliferate weapons of mass destruction; identifying any gaps in intelligence relating to the monitoring of the nuclear weapons program of North Korea; and providing net assessments and recommendations to the Director of National Intelligence relating to North Korea.

If formed, the integration cell will be headed by a senior intelligence official.

Within 180 days after the enactment of the bill, and then annually afterward, the director of National Intelligence will be asked to submit to Congress a report on the activities of the integration cell and recommendations for the better collection of intelligence on North Korea. (Yonhap)
