    (a) General. Section 405(c)(3)(B) of the Act provides that upon the 
submission of a claim under the Fund, the claimant waives the right to 
file a civil action (or be a party to an action) in any Federal or State 
court for damages sustained as a result of the terrorist-related 
aircraft crashes of September 11, 2001, except that this limitation does 
not apply to recover collateral source obligations, or to a civil action 
against any person who is a knowing participant in any conspiracy to 
hijack any aircraft or commit any terrorist act. The Special Master 
shall take appropriate steps to inform potential claimants of section 
405(c)(3)(B) of the Act.
    (b) Pending actions. Claimants who have filed a civil action or who 
are a party to such an action as described in paragraph (a) of this 
section may not file a claim with the Special Master unless they 
withdraw from such action not later than March 21, 2002.
