They are also required to notify the person wiertaped in the same period.
They are required to file a response to the court that authorized the wiretap 30 days after the order has expired and they are done collecting evidence. They DO NOT have to disclose the wire tap to the subject unless they file formal charges and intend on using the taped conversations as evidence in the prosecution. (see below)
Wire taps would be utterly useless if you had to notify the people being tapped you were listening to them.
