issued by the Secretary for the purposes of--
            ``(I) identifying duplicate listings of individuals in 
        master lists used for jury selection purposes; and
            ``(II) identifying in those master lists listings of 
        individuals who are ineligible for serving on a jury by reason 
        of their conviction for a felony.
    ``(ii) If and to the extent that any provision of Federal law 
enacted before the date of the enactment of this subparagraph is 
inconsistent with the policy set forth in clause (i), such provision 
shall, on and after that date, be null, void, and of no effect.
    ``(iii) For purposes of this subparagraph the term `State' has the 
meaning that term has in subparagraph (D).''.
