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.

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.
