  :(2) The First-tier Tribunal mayâ 
  :(a) extend a period of detention; or 
  :(b) further extend a period of detention, for such a period as is determined, on  application made by the Secretary of State,  on  the  basis  that  the  exceptional  circumstances  of  the  case  require extended detention. 
  :(3) The  First-tier  Tribunal  has  the  power  to  review  an  extended  period  of detention   without   requiring   the   Secretary   of   State   to   make   a   new application. 
  :(4) This section does not apply to a person whoâ 
  :(a) has  been  sentenced  to  a  term   of  imprisonment  for  a  term  of  12 months or longer; or 
  :(b) the Secretary of State has  determined shall be deported. 
  :(5) Rules  of  procedure  for  the  purposes   of this section may be made by the Lord Chancellor. 
  :(6) In this sectionâ âFirst-tier Tribunalâ meansâ 
  :(a) in  the  case  of  an  appeal  against  a  decision  on  an  asylum application which has not been determined, the chamber of the First-tier Tribunal dealing with the appeal; or 
  :(b) in any other case, such chamber of the First-tier Tribunal as the Secretary of State considers appropriate; ârelevant powersâ means powers  to detain pursuant to 
  :(a) paragraph 16(1), (1A) or (2)  of Schedule 2 to the Immigration Act 1971, 
  :(b) paragraph 2(1), (2) or (3) of Schedule 3 to that Act, 
  :(c) section 62 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002, and 
  :(d) section 36(1) of the UK Borders Act 2007. 
  :(7)    In the case of a person to whom section 3(2) of the Special Immigration Appeals Commission Act 1997 applies  (detention on grounds of national security), the Commission established under that Act shall be substituted for the First-tier Tribunal.
