## SECTION 1 SHORT TITLE.1 **[**[33 U.S.C. 1951 note](/us/usc/t33/s1951)**]** This Act may be cited as the “Marine Debris Act”. 1This Act was extensively amended by P.L. 119–65. Section 6(a) provides: “Sections 1 and 2 of the Marine Debris Act, sections 101, 102, and 104 of the Marine Debris Act, as redesignated by this Act, and section 133 of the Marine Debris Act, as transferred and so redesignated by this Act, are amended by striking ‘Administrator’ and inserting ‘Under Secretary’”.
Such amendment should not have been made to sections 1, 2, and 102 since the stricken matter doesn’t appear. Also, in sections 101 and 104 there are several references to Administrator so the amendment instruction should have included “each place it appears”. However, the amendment has been carried out globally to these provisions in order to reflect the probable intent of Congress.
