(Pub. L. 103–272, § 1(d), July 5, 1994, 108 Stat. 783; Pub. L. 103–311, title I, § 117(a)(2), Aug. 26, 1994, 108 Stat. 1678; Pub. L. 109–59, title VII, § 7124, Aug. 10, 2005, 119 Stat. 1908; Pub. L. 110–244, title III, § 302(d), June 6, 2008, 122 Stat. 1618.)
In subsection (a), the word “manufactures” is substituted for “manufacturers” to correct an error in the source provisions. The words “of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch”, “be subject to and”, “substantive and procedural”, and “this chapter or any other” are omitted as surplus.
