(b)For the purposes of subsection (a), a cession by a State of jurisdiction over a place selected as the site of a lighthouse, or other structure or work referred to in subsection (a), shall be deemed sufficient if the cession contains a reservation that process issued under authority of such State may continue to be served within such place.

(c)If no reservation of service described in subsection

(b)is contained in a cession, all process may be served and executed within the place ceded, in the same manner as if no cession had been made.
