In this section: The term source provision means a provision of law that is replaced by a title 46 provision under this title. The term title 46 provision means a provision of title 46, United States Code, that is enacted by section 402. The title 46 provisions replace certain provisions of law enacted before the date of the enactment of this Act. If a law enacted after that date amends or repeals a source provision, that law is deemed to amend or repeal, as the case may be, the corresponding title 46 provision.
If a law enacted after that date is otherwise inconsistent with a title 46 provision or a provision of this title, that law supersedes the title 46 provision or provision of this title to the extent of the inconsistency. For purposes of determining whether one provision of law supersedes another based on enactment later in time, a title 46 provision is deemed to have been enacted on the date of enactment of the source provision that the title 46 provision replaces. A reference to a title 46 provision, including a reference in a regulation, order, or other law, is deemed to refer to the corresponding source provision.
A reference to a source provision, including a reference in a regulation, order, or other law, is deemed to refer to the corresponding title 46 provision. A regulation, order, or other administrative action in effect under a source provision continues in effect under the corresponding title 46 provision. An action taken or an offense committed under a source provision is deemed to have been taken or committed under the corresponding title 46 provision.
