Historical And Revision Notes

Revised Source (U.S. Code) Source (Statutes at Large) Section

5702 49 App.:2802. Nov. 3, 1990, Pub. L. 101-500, Sec. 3, 104 Stat. 1213.

In this section, the definition of "Secretary" is omitted as unnecessary because the complete title of the Secretary of Transportation is used the first time the term appears in a section.

In clause (2), the words "(individually or by class)" are substituted for "Such term includes any class of such materials, substances, or products" to eliminate unnecessary words.

The words "or is deemed a nonfood product under section 5703(a)(2) of this title" are substituted for "(except as provided under section 4(a)(2))" for clarity.

In clause (4), the words "the Commonwealth of" are omitted as surplus.
