     § 9337.  Reports by independent counsel.
        (a)  Required reports.--An independent counsel shall:
            (1)  File with the panel, with respect to the six-month
        period beginning on the date of his appointment and with
        respect to each six-month period thereafter until the office
        of that independent counsel terminates, a report which
        identifies and explains major expenses, summarizes all other
        expenses incurred by that office during the six-month period
        with respect to which the report is filed and estimates
        future expenses of that office.
            (2)  Before the termination of the independent counsel's
        office under section 9343(b) (relating to removal of
        independent counsel and termination of office), file a final
        report with the panel, setting forth fully and completely a
        description of all prosecutions. All other information shall
        be confidential and not subject to public disclosure.
        (b)  Disclosure of information in reports.--The panel may
     release to the General Assembly, the Governor, the State
     Treasurer, the public or any appropriate person the portions of
     a report made under this section as the panel considers
     appropriate. The panel shall make any orders as are appropriate
     to protect the rights of any individual named in the report and
     to prevent undue interference with any pending prosecution. The
     panel may make any portion of a final report filed under
     subsection (a)(2) available to any individual named in the
     report for the purposes of receiving within a time limit set by
     the panel any comments or factual information that the
     individual may submit. The comments and factual information, in
     whole or in part, may in the discretion of the panel be included
     as an appendix to the final report.
