...
`(g) LIMITATION ON DISCOVERY-
`(1) IN GENERAL- (A) Subject to paragraph (2), if an action
is filed that would otherwise be barred by section 1604, but
for subsection (a)(7), the court, upon request of the
Attorney General, shall stay any request, demand, or order
for discovery on the United States that the Attorney General
certifies would significantly interfere with a criminal
investigation or prosecution, or a national security
operation, related to the incident that gave rise to the
cause of action, until such time as the Attorney General
advises the court that such request, demand, or order will
no longer so interfere.
`(B) A stay under this paragraph shall be in effect during
the 12-month period beginning on the date on which the court
issues the order to stay discovery. The court shall renew
the order to stay discovery for additional 12-month periods
upon motion by the United States if the Attorney General
certifies that discovery would significantly interfere with
a criminal investigation or prosecution, or a national
security operation, related to the incident that gave rise
to the cause of action.
`(2) SUNSET- (A) Subject to subparagraph (B), no stay shall
be granted or continued in effect under paragraph (1) after
the date that is 10 years after the date on which the
incident that gave rise to the cause of action occurred.
`(B) After the period referred to in subparagraph (A), the
court, upon request of the Attorney General, may stay any
request, demand, or order for discovery on the United States
that the court finds a substantial likelihood would--
`(i) create a serious threat of death or serious bodily
injury to any person;
`(ii) adversely affect the ability of the United States to
work in cooperation with foreign and international law
enforcement agencies in investigating violations of United
States law; or
`(iii) obstruct the criminal case related to the incident
that gave rise to the cause of action or undermine the
potential for a conviction in such case.
