Sec. 2621. National defense waiver

    The Administrator shall waive compliance with any provision of this 
chapter upon a request and determination by the President that the 
requested waiver is necessary in the interest of national defense. The 
Administrator shall maintain a written record of the basis upon which 
such waiver was granted and make such record available for in camera 
examination when relevant in a judicial proceeding under this chapter. 
Upon the issuance of such a waiver, the Administrator shall publish in 
the Federal Register a notice that the waiver was granted for national 
defense purposes, unless, upon the request of the President, the 
Administrator determines to omit such publication because the 
publication itself would be contrary to the interests of national 
defense, in which event the Administrator shall submit notice thereof to 
the Armed Services Committees of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives.
