**(b) Findings for Which Judicial Review May Be Sought.—** Subsection (a) applies to the following findings:
(1) A finding by a board appointed under section 1504 or 1505 of this title that a missing person is dead.
(2) A finding by a board appointed under [section 1509 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title10-section1509&num=0&edition=prelim) that confirms that a missing person formerly declared dead is in fact dead.
**(c) Subsequent Review.—** Appeals from a decision of the district court shall be taken to the appropriate United States court of appeals and to the Supreme Court as provided by law.
