                      Historical and Revision Notes

    Based on title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., Sec. 111 (Mar. 6, 1902, ch. 
139, Sec. 7, 32 Stat. 52; June 7, 1906, ch. 3048, 34 Stat. 218; June 18, 
1929, ch. 28, Sec. 3, 46 Stat. 21; 1939 Reorganization Plan No. II, 
Sec. 4(e), eff. July 1, 1939, 4 F.R. 2731, 53 Stat. 1431; 1940 
Reorganization Plan No. III, Sec. 3, eff. June 30, 1940, 5 F.R. 2107, 54 
Stat. 1232; June 25, 1947, ch. 124, 61 Stat. 163; Sept. 7, 1950, ch. 
910, Sec. 4, 64 Stat. 785).
    Section was taken from that part of section 111 of title 13, U.S.C., 
1952 ed., which related to designation of reports prepared under that 
section. For remainder of such section 111, see this subchapter, and 
Distribution Table.
    Section 111 of title 13, U.S.C. 1952 ed., provided that the reports 
prepared under the provisions of that section should be designated as 
``Special Reports of the Census Office''. In this revised section it is 
provided that such reports shall be designated as `` `Special Reports' 
followed by the name of whatever bureau or agency of the Department of 
Commerce is designated by the Secretary to collect and compile such 
statistics''. This change conforms with 1950 Reorganization Plan No. 5, 
Secs. 1, 2, eff. May 24, 1950, 15 F.R. 3174, 64 Stat. 1263, which 
transferred the functions of all agencies, bureaus, officers, and 
employees of the Department of Commerce to the Secretary, and vested 
power in him to delegate any of such transferred functions, or any of 
his other functions, to any of such agencies, bureaus, officers, or 
employees. See section 4 of this title.
    Changes were made in phraseology.
    Section 7 of the act of Mar. 6, 1902, ch. 139, 32 Stat. 52, cited 
above, from which section 111 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., was 
derived, contained additional provisions (which were not classified to 
the United States Code) relating to the duty of the Director of the 
Census to publish the Official Register of the United States, and to the 
transmission to him of the data to be included therein. Such provisions 
have been omitted as they were superseded by act Mar. 3, 1925, ch. 421, 
Sec. 2(a)(b), 43 Stat. 1105, which was formerly classified to section 3 
of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., and which, in turn, was repealed by 
section 5 of act Aug. 28, 1935, ch. 795, 49 Stat. 957, and superseded by 
sections 1 and 2 of that act. Such sections 1 and 2, as amended, are 
classified to section 654 of title 5, U.S.C., 1952 ed., Executive 
Departments and Government Officers and Employees. Under that section, 
the Official Register is published by the Civil Service Commission. 
Provisions relating to its distribution are contained in sections 139, 
139a and 280a of title 44, U.S.C., 1952 ed., Public Printing and 
Documents.
