(4)in subsection
(f)(as so redesignated)— #####
(A)in the matter preceding paragraph (1), by striking “lighting fixture or bulb” and inserting “lighting system”; #####
(B)in paragraph (1), by striking “the fixture or bulb is” and inserting “the lighting system or the individual components of the lighting system are”; and #####
(C)in paragraph (3), by striking “fixture or bulb” and inserting “lighting system”; ####
(5)in subsection
(g)(as so redesignated), by inserting “procurement and” before “use in public buildings”; and ####
