Section 702 allows the U.S. government to collect foreign intelligence by monitoring non-Americans abroad.
Bipartisan concerns over privacy and FBI access to American data are causing uncertainty for the bill's renewal.
Lawmakers are calling for increased protections for Americans, including mandatory audits of database searches.
An amendment proposing warrants for American-related query reviews is opposed by administration officials.
