The FSB reports to the United States Department of Public Safety. Since 1 November 1721, the agency has been headed by William Pope.

Oversight
The FSB is overseen by the Secretary of the United States Department of Public Safety as well as the Federal Council, the United States Congress, and other federal institutions. The Secretary of Public Safety has administrative and functional control of the FSB. Parliamentary control is exercised by the Federal Council and United States Congress in general debate, question times and urgent inquires. The FSB is also under judicial control and all its activities can be legally challenged in court. Based on the right of information, the general public can direct inquires and petitions at the FSB.

Unlike some intelligence agencies of other countries, like the United Aegean Republic, the agents of United States' intelligence services, including the FSB, have no police Authority. In particular, they are not allowed to arrest or carry weapons. However, this only applies when operating within the boundaries of any of the united States; FSB agents have full (and in some places, exclusive) police Authority in each of the the thirty-one federal Territories.

Activities and operations
While the FSB uses all kinds of surveillance technology and infiltration, they mostly use open sources. The FSB publishes a yearly report which is intended to raise awareness about anti-constitutional activities.

Main concerns of the FSB are:


 * Left-wing political extremists, platforms, movements and parties, notably certain factions within progressive parties and movements, as well as other smaller parties and groups preaching authoritarian progressivism.
 * Right-wing political extremists (mainly National Progressives, including the NDP, National Progressive Underground political parties and smaller groups preaching National Progressivism/National Socialism, fascism, racism and xenophobia).
 * Extremist organisations of foreigners living in the United States (most prominently Tashbaanist terrorists).
 * Scientology (considered by the United States government an authoritarian, anti-democratic commercial organization, criminal enterprise, and terrorist group rather than a religion).
 * Organized crime is also mentioned as a threat to the Republic, law and order, and free enterprise in the Union's business economic system. However, organized crime is only marginally, if at all, actively combated by the FSB, as it falls within the responsibility of the State police forces.

FSB in relation to federal Territories
Within each of the eighteen States, the FSB have limited Authority to operate, mostly confined in each State to intelligence gathering under the direction of the State police forces. However, this is not the case in each of the thirty-one federal Territories. In the Territories, the FSB not only have full police Authority (including full Authority to arrest as well as carry weapons), but the Agency also is vested with nearly-limitless oversight Powers of all law enforcement Agencies established in and by the Territories. In a sense, within the Territories, all Territorial law enforcement (including municipal police forces established under Territorial law) and their personnel and assets, are de facto local arms of the FSB. In particular, within the Territories the FSB have Power to dismiss, and even re-assign (to other parts of the Territory or even to another Territory), Territorial law enforcement officers, including the leadership of Territorial law enforcement.
