    In subsection (c), the words ``temporary or intermittent'' are added 
for clarity and consistency with 5:3109. The reference to section 5376 
of title 5 is substituted for the reference to grade GS-18 of the 
General Schedule because of section 529 [101(c)(1)] of the Treasury, 
Postal Service and General Government Appropriations Act, 1991 (Public 
Law 101-509, 104 Stat. 1442).
    In subsection (d), the words ``or authorities'' are added for 
consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the United 
States Code and for clarity because the Council may make contracts or 
other arrangements with State authorities.
    In subsection (e), the words ``departments, agencies, and 
instrumentalities in the executive branch of the United States 
Government'' are substituted for ``executive branch departments, 
agencies, and establishments of the United States'' for consistency in 
the revised title and with other titles of the Code.
