Sec. 6717. Judicial review
(a) Appeals in Federal Court of Appeals.--A unit of general local
government which receives notice from the Secretary about withholding
payments under section 6703(f), suspending payments under section
6713(a)(1)(B), or terminating payments under section 6712(d)(2)(A), may
apply for review of the action of the Secretary by filing a petition for
review with the court of appeals of the United States for the circuit in
which the government is located. The petition shall be filed by the 60th
day after the date the notice is received. The clerk of the court shall
immediately send a copy of the petition to the Secretary.
(b) Filing of Record of Administrative Proceeding.--The Secretary
shall file with the court a record of the proceeding on which the
Secretary based the action. The court may consider only objections to
the action of the Secretary that were presented before the Secretary.
(c) Court Action.--The court may affirm, change, or set aside any
part of the action of the Secretary. The findings of fact by the
Secretary are conclusive if supported by substantial evidence in the
record. If a finding is not supported by substantial evidence in the
record, the court may remand the case to the Secretary to take
additional evidence. Upon such a remand, the Secretary may make new or
modified findings and shall certify additional proceedings to the court.
(d) Review Only by Supreme Court.--A judgment of a court under this
section may be reviewed only by the Supreme Court under section 1254 of
title 28, United States Code.
