        described in subparagraphs (A) through (E) of paragraph (3) 
        continue to exist, a district court of the United States may

        nondisclosure, for additional periods which are longer than 180 
        days.

subject to any right to an open hearing in a contempt proceeding, the

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.''.
