    The words ``has violated, is violating, or will violate this 
subchapter'' are substituted for ``has engaged, is engaged, or is about 
to engage in any acts or practices constituting a violation of the 
provisions of this chapter'' in 31:1057 and ``failed to submit a report 
required under any rule or regulation issued under this subchapter or 
has violated any rule or regulation issued hereunder'' in 
31:1143(b)(words before last comma) to eliminate unnecessary words. The 
words ``or a regulation prescribed'' are added because of the 
restatement. The words ``in his discretion'' are omitted as surplus. The 
word ``civil'' is added because of rule 2 of the Federal Rules of Civil 
Procedure (28 App. U.S.C.). The word ``possession'' is substituted for 
``other place subject to the jurisdiction'' for consistency in the 
revised title and with other titles of the United States Code. The words 
``or to enforce compliance with the subchapter, regulation, or order'' 
are substituted for 31:1057(last sentence) and the words ``a mandatory 
injunction commanding such person to comply with such rule or 
regulation'' in 31:1143(b)(words before last comma) to eliminate 
unnecessary words. The words ``and upon a proper showing . . . permanent 
or'' are omitted as surplus.
