''(a) Definitions.--In this section--
''(1) the term 'fugitive' means a person who--
''(A) having been accused by complaint, information
or indictment, or having been convicted of committing,
a felony under Federal law, flees from or evades (or

''(2) the term 'investigation' means, with respect to a
State fugitive described in subparagraph (B) or (C) of

believe that the fugitive fled from or evaded (or attempted to
flee from or evade) the jurisdiction of the court, or escaped
from custody, in or affecting, or using any facility of,
interstate or foreign commerce, or as to whom an appropriate
law enforcement officer or official of a State or political
subdivision has requested the Attorney General to assist in the
investigation, and the Attorney General finds that the
particular circumstances of the request give rise to a Federal
interest sufficient for the exercise of Federal jurisdiction
under section 1075; and
''(3) the term 'State' means a State of the United States,
the District of Columbia, and any commonwealth, territory, or
possession of the United States.
''(b) Scope.--In any investigation with respect to the apprehension
of a fugitive, the Attorney General may subpoena witnesses for the
purpose of the production of any records (including books, papers,
documents, electronic data, and other tangible and intangible items
that constitute or contain evidence) that the Attorney General finds,
based upon articulable facts, are relevant to discerning the fugitive's
whereabouts. A subpoena under this subsection shall describe the
records or items required to be produced and prescribe a return date
within a reasonable period of time within which the records or items
can be assembled and made available.
''(c) Jurisdiction.--The attendance of witnesses and the production
of records may be required from any place in any State or any other
place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States at any
designated place where the witness is served with a subpoena, except
that a witness shall not be required to appear more than 500 miles
distant from the place where the witness was served. Witnesses
subpoenaed under this section shall be paid the same fees and mileage
that are paid witnesses in the courts of the United States.
''(d) Service.--A subpoena issued under this section may be served
by any person designated in the subpoena as the agent of service.
Service upon a natural person may be made by personal delivery of the
subpoena to that person or by certified mail with return receipt
requested. Service may be made upon a domestic or foreign corporation,
a partnership, or other unincorporated association that is subject to
suit under a common name, by delivering the subpoena to an officer, a
managing or general agent, or to any other agent authorized by
appointment or by law to receive service of process. The affidavit of
the person serving the subpoena entered on a true copy thereof by the
agent of service shall be proof of service.
''(e)Enforcement.--
''(1) Noncompliance.--In the case of the contumacy by or
refusal to obey a subpoena issued to any person, the Attorney
General may invoke the aid of any court of the United States
within the jurisdiction of which the investigation is carried
on or of which the subpoenaed person is an inhabitant, or in
which he carries on business or may be found, to compel
compliance with the subpoena. The court may issue an order
requiring the subpoenaed person to appear before the Attorney
General to produce records if so ordered. Any failure to obey
the order of the court may be punishable by the court as
contempt thereof. All process in any such case may be served in
any judicial district in which the person may be found.
''(2) Rights of a subpoena recipient.--Not later than 20
days after the date of service of an administrative subpoena
under this section upon any person, or at any time before the
return date specified in the subpoena, whichever period is
shorter, such person may file, in the district court of the
United States for the judicial district within which such
person resides, is found, or transacts business, a petition to
modify or quash such subpoena on grounds that--
''(A) the terms of the subpoena are unreasonable or
unnecessary;
''(B) the subpoena fails to meet the requirements
of this section; or
''(C) the subpoena violates the constitutional
rights or any other legal right or privilege of the
subpoenaed party.
''(3) Time for response.--The time allowed for compliance
with a subpoena in whole or in part shall be suspended during
the pendency of a petition filed under paragraph (2). Such
petition shall specify the grounds upon which the petitioner
relies in seeking relief.
''(f) Delayed notice.--

title) or remote computing service (as defined in section 2711
of this title), the Attorney General may--
''(A) in accordance with section 2705(a) of this
title, delay notification to the subscriber or customer
to whom the record pertains; and
''(B) apply to a court, in accordance with section
2705(b) of this title, for an order commanding the
provider of electronic communication service or remote
computing service not to notify any other person of the
existence of the subpoena or court order.
''(2) Subpoenas for financial records.--If a subpoena is

financial records of any customer of such institution, the

Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 3409) for an
order to delay customer notice as otherwise required.
''(3) Nondisclosure requirements.--Except as provided in
paragraphs (1) and (2), the Attorney General may apply to a
court for an order requiring the party to whom an
administrative subpoena is directed to refrain from notifying
any other party of the existence of the subpoena or court order
for such period as the court deems appropriate. The court shall
enter such order if it determines that there is reason to
believe that notification of the existence of the
administrative subpoena will result in--
''(A) endangering the life or physical safety of an
individual;
''(B) flight from prosecution;
''(C) destruction of or tampering with evidence;
''(D) intimidation of potential witnesses; or
''(E) otherwise seriously jeopardizing an
investigation or undue delay of a trial.
''(g) Immunity From Civil Liability.--Any person, including
officers, agents, and employees, who in good faith produce the records
or items requested in a subpoena shall not be liable in any court of
any State or the United States to any customer or other person for such
production or for nondisclosure of that production to the customer, in
compliance with the terms of a court order for nondisclosure.
''(h) Delegation.--The Attorney General and the Secretary of the
Treasury shall issue guidelines governing the issuance of
administrative subpoenas. Such guidelines shall mandate that
administrative subpoenas may be issued only after review and approval
of senior supervisory personnel within the Department of Justice and
the Department of the Treasury.
''(i) Report.--The Attorney General shall report in January of each
year to the Committees on the Judiciary of the Senate and the House of
Representatives on the number of administrative subpoenas issued under
this section, whether each matter involved a fugitive from Federal or
State charges, and identification of the agency issuing the subpoena
and imposing the charges. This reporting requirement shall terminate in
3 years after enactment.''.
