L. 109173, § 8(a)(4), (5)(D), Feb. 15, 2006, 119 Stat. 3610, 3611. This Act, referred to in subsec. (c), probably means the National Bank Act, act June 3, 1864, ch. 106, 13 Stat. 99, which is classified principally to chapter 2 (§ 21 et seq.) of this title. For complete classification of this Act to the Code, see References in Text note set out under section 38 of this title.
