Editorial Notes
|
||
|
||
References in TextThis part, referred to in subsec. (b), was in the original “this title” and was translated as reading “this subtitle”, meaning subtitle S of title III of Pub. L. 103–322, to reflect the probable intent of Congress. Section 13883 of title 42, referred to in subsec. (c), was omitted from the Code as obsolete.
|
||
|
||
Codification Section was formerly classified to section 13901 of Title 42, The Public Health and Welfare, prior to editorial reclassification and renumbering as this section.
