of any wire, electronic or oral communication must specify:
(a) The identity of the person, if known, whose
communications are to be intercepted.
(b) The nature and location of the place where or
communication facilities to which authority to intercept is granted, the
facilities to be used and the means by which such interceptions will be made.

offense to which it relates.
(d) The identity of the agency authorized to
intercept the communications, and of the person authorizing the application.
(e) The period of time during which such
interception is authorized, including a statement as to whether or not the
interception will automatically terminate when the described communication has
been first obtained.
2. An order authorizing the interception
of a wire, electronic or oral communication shall, upon request of the
applicant, direct that a provider of electronic communication service,
landlord, custodian or other person shall furnish the applicant forthwith all
information, facilities, and technical assistance necessary to accomplish the
interception unobtrusively and with a minimum of interference with the services
that such provider of electronic communication service, landlord, custodian, or
person is according the person whose communications are to be intercepted. Any
provider of electronic communication service, landlord, custodian or other
person furnishing such facilities or technical assistance must be compensated
therefor by the applicant at the prevailing rates.
3. No order entered under this section may
authorize the interception of any wire, electronic or oral communication for any
period longer than is necessary to achieve the objective of the authorization,
and in no event longer than 30 days. Extensions of an order may be granted, but
only upon application for an extension made in accordance with the procedures
provided in NRS 179.470 . The period of
extension must be no longer than the authorizing judge deems necessary to
achieve the purposes for which it was granted and in no event for longer than
30 days. Every order and extension thereof must contain a provision that the
authorization to intercept must be executed as soon as practicable, must be
conducted in such a way as to minimize the interception of communications not
otherwise subject to interception under this statute, and will terminate upon
attainment of the authorized objective, or in any event in 30 days.
