of the Right to Financial Privacy Act, or section 802(a) of the

in subsection (a) for an order modifying or setting aside a nondisclosure requirement imposed in connection with such a request.
‘‘(2) If the petition is filed within one year of the request
for records, a report, or other information under section 2709(b)
of this title, section 626(a) or (b) or 627(a) of the Fair Credit
Reporting Act, section 1114(a)(5)(A) of the Right to Financial Privacy Act, or section 802(a) of the National Security Act of 1947,

H. R. 3199—21
the court may modify or set aside such a nondisclosure requirement
if it finds that there is no reason to believe that disclosure may
endanger the national security of the United States, interfere with
a criminal, counterterrorism, or counterintelligence investigation,
interfere with diplomatic relations, or endanger the life or physical
safety of any person. If, at the time of the petition, the Attorney
General, Deputy Attorney General, an Assistant Attorney General,
or the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or in the
case of a request by a department, agency, or instrumentality
of the Federal Government other than the Department of Justice,
the head or deputy head of such department, agency, or instrumentality, certifies that disclosure may endanger the national security
of the United States or interfere with diplomatic relations, such
certification shall be treated as conclusive unless the court finds
that the certification was made in bad faith.
‘‘(3) If the petition is filed one year or more after the request
for records, a report, or other information under section 2709(b)
of this title, section 626(a) or (b) or 627(a) of the Fair Credit
Reporting Act, section 1114(a)(5)(A) of the Right to Financial Privacy Act, or section 802(a) of the National Security Act of 1947,

Attorney General, or the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or his designee in a position not lower than Deputy Assistant Director at Bureau headquarters or a Special Agent in Charge
in a Bureau field office designated by the Director, or in the case
of a request by a department, agency, or instrumentality of the
Federal Government other than the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the head or deputy head of such department, agency, or
instrumentality, within ninety days of the filing of the petition,
shall either terminate the nondisclosure requirement or re-certify
that disclosure may result in a danger to the national security
of the United States, interference with a criminal, counterterrorism,
or counterintelligence investigation, interference with diplomatic
relations, or danger to the life or physical safety of any person.
In the event of re-certification, the court may modify or set aside
such a nondisclosure requirement if it finds that there is no reason
to believe that disclosure may endanger the national security of
the United States, interfere with a criminal, counterterrorism, or
counterintelligence investigation, interfere with diplomatic relations, or endanger the life or physical safety of any person. If
the recertification that disclosure may endanger the national security of the United States or interfere with diplomatic relations
is made by the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, an
Assistant Attorney General, or the Director of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, such certification shall be treated as conclusive
unless the court finds that the recertification was made in bad
faith. If the court denies a petition for an order modifying or
setting aside a nondisclosure requirement under this paragraph,
the recipient shall be precluded for a period of one year from
filing another petition to modify or set aside such nondisclosure
requirement.

entity resides, carries on business, or may be found, to compel
compliance with the request. The court may issue an order requiring
the person or entity to comply with the request. Any failure to
obey the order of the court may be punished by the court as
contempt thereof. Any process under this section may be served
in any judicial district in which the person or entity may be found.
‘‘(d) In all proceedings under this section, subject to any right
to an open hearing in a contempt proceeding, the court must close
any hearing to the extent necessary to prevent an unauthorized
disclosure of a request for records, a report, or other information
made to any person or entity under section 2709(b) of this title,
section 626(a) or (b) or 627(a) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act,
section 1114(a)(5)(A) of the Right to Financial Privacy Act, or section
802(a) of the National Security Act of 1947. Petitions, filings,

reasonably necessary services authorized under subsection (f) shall
not exceed $7,500 in any case, unless payment in excess of that
limit is certified by the court, or by the United States magistrate
judge, if the services were rendered in connection with the case
disposed of entirely before such magistrate judge, as necessary
