Notes

Historical and Revision Notes RevisedSectionSource (U.S. Code)Source (Statutes at Large) 58940:490(i).June 30, 1949, ch. 288, title II, § 210(i), as added Pub. L. 89344, Nov. 8, 1965, 79 Stat. 1304. In subsections (a) and (b), the words “territory or” are added for consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the United States Code. In subsection (c), the words “Director of the Office of Management and Budget” are substituted for “Director of the Bureau of the Budget” in section 210(i) of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 because the office of Director of the Bureau of the Budget was redesignated the Director of the Office of Management and Budget by section 102(b) of Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1970 (eff. July 1, 1970, 84 Stat. 2085). Section 102 of Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1970, was repealed by section 5(b) of the Act of September 13, 1982 (Public Law 97258, 96 Stat. 1085), the first section of which enacted Title 31, United States Code, but the successor provision, 31:502, continued the designation as Director of the Office of Management and Budget. In subsection (e), the words “beyond such liability presently existing by virtue of any other law” are omitted as unnecessary.
