## Notes

Historical and Revision Notes RevisedSectionSource (U.S. Code)Source (Statutes at Large) 4610849 App.:1487(a) (related to party in interest).Aug. 23, 1958, Pub. L. 85–726, § 1007(a) (related to party in interest), 72 Stat. 796. The words “interested person” are substituted for “party in interest” for consistency. The words “may bring a civil action” are substituted for “may apply” for consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the United States Code and rule 2 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (28 App. U.S.C.). The text of 49 App.:1487(a) (words after semicolon related to party in interest) is omitted as surplus because of 28:1651 and rule 81(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
