        (a)  Application for appointment of independent counsel.--The
     special investigative counsel shall apply to the panel for the
     appointment of an independent counsel if:
            (1)  the special investigative counsel, upon completion
        of a preliminary investigation under this chapter, determines
        that there are reasonable grounds to believe that further
        investigation is warranted; or
            (2)  the 90-day period referred to in section 9313(a)
        (relating to conduct of preliminary investigation) and any
        extension granted under section 9313(c) have elapsed and the
        special investigative counsel has not filed a notification
        with the panel under section 9314(a) (relating to

        (b)  Receipt of additional information.--If, after submitting
     a notification under section 9314(a), the special investigative
     counsel receives additional information sufficient to constitute
     grounds to investigate the matters to which the notification
     related, the special investigative counsel shall:
            (1)  Conduct an additional preliminary investigation as
        the special investigative counsel considers appropriate for a
        period of no more than 90 days after the date on which the
        additional information is received.
            (2)  Otherwise comply with the provisions of this
        subchapter with respect to the additional preliminary
        investigation to the same extent as any other preliminary
        investigation under this chapter.
