The words “have exclusive jurisdiction” are substituted for “shall have exclusive jurisdiction”.
In paragraph (1), the word “by” is substituted for “in accordance with”.
In paragraph (3), the word “now” is omitted as unnecessary. The word “under” is substituted for “pursuant to the provisions of”. Reference to “Federal Maritime Commission” is substituted for “Federal Maritime Board” on authority of 1961 Reorg. Plan No. 7, eff. Aug. 12, 1961, 75 Stat. 840.

May 24, 1951, 64 Stat. 1277, and any existing rights are preserved by technical sections 7 and 8.
