Really? I'd like to learn more about this, do you have a source?

IANAL, but it appears to depend under which legal authority the letter is issued (Verizon's was 50 U.S.C. 436). See the chart on page 15: http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/intel/RL33320.pdf

    The chart of page 15 of the document you linked says a 50 USC 436 covers "all financial information relating to consenting, identified employee" but wasn't it used to obtain customer information from Verizon? What am I missing here? Is what the document is describing just one possible use case?

    Edit: typo
