## Notes
Editorial Notes
Amendments2018—Pub. L. 115282 renumbered section 674 of this title as this section. 2012—Pub. L. 112213 struck out “of Homeland Security” after “Secretary”. 2002—Pub. L. 107296, § 1704(f)(1), which directed renumbering of the section 673 of this title that was added by Pub. L. 104324, § 309(a), as section 673a of this title, could not be executed because of the prior amendment by Pub. L. 107295, see below. Pub. L. 107296, § 1704(a), which directed amendment of section 673a of this title by substituting “of Homeland Security” for “of Transportation”, was executed by making the substitution in this section, to reflect the probable intent of Congress. Pub. L. 107295 renumbered section 673 of this title, relating to small boat station rescue capability, as this section.
