Right to Financial Privacy Act, or section 802(a) of the National
Security Act of 1947 may, in the United States district court for the
district in which that person or entity does business or resides,
petition for an order modifying or setting aside the request. The court
may modify or set aside the request if compliance would be unreasonable,
oppressive, or otherwise unlawful.
``(b)(1) The recipient of a 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, may petition any court described 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,
[[Page 120 STAT. 212]]
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, the Attorney
General, Deputy Attorney General, an Assistant 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.
``(c) In the case of a failure to comply with a request for records,
a report, or other information made to any person or entity under

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, the Attorney General may invoke
[[Page 120 STAT. 213]]
the aid of any district court of the United States within the
jurisdiction in which the investigation is carried on or the person or
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, records, orders, and subpoenas
must also be kept under seal to the extent and as long as necessary to
prevent the unauthorized disclosure of a request for records, a report,
or other information made to any person or entity under section 2709(b)
