A research copy — for the controlling text, always check the official state or federal source. Not legal advice.

A person that knowingly makes a false statement of a material fact to the Secretary of Transportation or another officer, employee, or agent of the Department of Transportation, to obtain the Secretary’s approval under section 56101 or 56102 of this title, shall be fined under title 18, imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both.
(Pub. L. 109–304, § 8(c), Oct. 6, 2006, 120 Stat. 1654.)
The words “guilty of a misdemeanor” are omitted, and the words “fined under title 18” are substituted for “subject to a fine of not more than $5000”, because of chapter 227 of title 18.
