Any such review shall be as provided in section 706 of title 5 . A finding by a board appointed under section 1504 or 1505 of this title that a missing person is dead. A finding by a board appointed under section 1509 of this title that confirms that a missing person formerly declared dead is in fact dead. Appeals from a decision of the district court shall be taken to the appropriate United States court of appeals and to the Supreme Court as provided by law.
