Notes

Editorial Notes

References in TextSection 1437a(b)(11) of this title, referred to in par. (5), was repealed by Pub. L. 104330, title V, § 501(b)(1)(D), Oct. 26, 1996, 110 Stat. 4041, and a new section 1437a(b)(11), defining “public housing agency plan”, was enacted by Pub. L. 105276, title V, § 506(4), Oct. 21, 1998, 112 Stat. 2524. This title, referred to in par. (8), means title IV of Pub. L. 101625, known as the Homeownership and Opportunity Through HOPE Act, and probably should have been “this subtitle”, meaning subtitle B (§§ 421431) of title IV of Pub. L. 101625, which is classified principally to this part. For complete classification of title IV of Pub. L. 101625 to the Code, see Short Title note set out under section 1437aaa of this title and Tables.
