(Pub. L. 93-415, title III, Sec. 316, as added Pub. L. 103-322, title 
IV, Sec. 40155, Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 1922.)

                          Codification

    Section 40155(2) of Pub. L. 103-322, which directed that this 
section be added after section 315 of Pub. L. 93-415, was executed by 
adding this section after section 312 of Pub. L. 93-415 (classified to 
section 5712 of this title) to reflect the probable intent of Congress 
and amendment by Pub. L. 102-586, Sec. 3(g)(2)(A)-(D), which repealed 
sections 313 to 315 of Pub. L. 93-415 (formerly classified to sections 
5712a to 5712c of this title) and renumbered sections 316 and 317 of 
Pub. L. 93-415 as sections 313 and 314, respectively, of Pub. L. 93-415 
(classified to sections 5713 and 5714 of this title). Section 40155(1) 
of Pub. L. 103-322, which directed that sections 316 and 317 of Pub. L. 
93-415 be renumbered sections 317 and 318 of Pub. L. 93-415, could not 
be executed because of the previous renumbering of sections 316 and 317 
as sections 313 and 314 of Pub. L. 93-415, as indicated above.


                            Prior Provisions
