(Pub. L. 97–449, § 1(b), Jan. 12, 1983, 96 Stat. 2425.)
In subsection (a), the words “Department of Transportation has” are substituted for “Secretary is authorized to establish” because the working capital fund has been established. The text of 49:1657(r)(1) (2d sentence words before last comma) are omitted as executed. The words “The Transportation Systems Center is authorized to perform” are omitted as unnecessary because of the restatement. The word “approves” is substituted for “direct . . . and, when approved by the Secretary” to eliminate unnecessary words. The words “or his designee” are omitted because of section 322(b) of the revised title.
In subsection (c)(3) and (4), the words “fair and” are omitted as surplus.
In subsection (c)(3), the words “by the Department and other agencies of the Government” are omitted as surplus.
In subsection (c)(4), the words “from other sources” are omitted as surplus.
In subsection (d)(1), before clause (A), the words “or his designee” are omitted because of section 322(b) of the revised title.
In subsection (e), the words “The Secretary shall deposit” are substituted for “there shall be transferred” for clarity and consistency. The words “in the fund” are added for clarity.
