    The word ``Federal'' is omitted as unnecessary because of the 
definition of ``agency'' in section 101 of the revised title. The words 
``coins and'' and ``Government'' are added for consistency. The words 
``or set aside'' and ``of the Government'' are omitted as surplus. The 
words ``The agency shall reimburse . . . shall replace'' are substituted 
for ``except (1) that reimbursement shall be made . . . (2) . . . shall 
be replaced'' for clarity. The words ``applicable . . . of the agency 
concerned'' are omitted as surplus. The words ``program or activity'' 
are substituted for ``purpose'' for clarity and consistency.
