(Pub. L. 103–272, § 1(e), July 5, 1994, 108 Stat. 1219; Pub. L. 103–429, § 6(57), Oct. 31, 1994, 108 Stat. 4385; Pub. L. 107–71, title I, § 101(f)(7), (9), Nov. 19, 2001, 115 Stat. 603; Pub. L. 115–254, div. K, title I, § 1991(d)(28), Oct. 5, 2018, 132 Stat. 3639.)
The word “otherwise” is omitted as surplus. The word “assigned” is omitted as being included in “transfer”. The word “function” is omitted as being included in “duty or power”. The words “department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States Government” are substituted for “Federal department or agency” for clarity and consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the United States Code.
