     3486 as described in subsection (a)(1)(A)(i)(II) of section 
     3486 wishes to have a court review a nondisclosure 
     requirement imposed in connection with the subpoena, the

     of section 3486.

     disclosure of the existence or contents of the relevant

     that receives a petition under subparagraph (A) or an 
     application under subparagraph (B) should rule expeditiously, 
     and shall, subject to paragraph (3), issue a nondisclosure 
     order that includes conditions appropriate to the 
     circumstances.
       ``(2) Application contents.--An application for a 
     nondisclosure order or extension thereof or a response to a 
     petition filed under paragraph (1) shall include a 
     certification from the Federal official who issued the 
     subpoena indicating that the absence of a prohibition of

     individual;
       ``(B) flight from prosecution;
       ``(C) destruction of or tampering with evidence;

       ``(3) Standard.--A district court of the United States 
     shall issue a nondisclosure order or extension thereof under 
     this subsection if the court determines that there is reason 
     to believe that disclosure of the information subject to the 
     nondisclosure requirement during the applicable time period 
     may result in--
       ``(A) endangering the life or physical safety of an 
     individual;
       ``(B) flight from prosecution;

     issue an ex parte order extending a nondisclosure order 
     imposed under this subsection or under section 3486(a)(6)(D) 
     for additional periods of 180 days, or, if the court 
     determines that the circumstances necessitate a longer period 
     of nondisclosure, for additional periods which are longer 
     than 180 days.
       ``(b) Closed Hearings.--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 3486. Petitions, filings, 
     records, orders, certifications, and subpoenas must also be 
     kept under seal to the extent and as long as necessary to 
     prevent the unauthorized disclosure of a subpoena under 
     section 3486.''.
