    In subsection (a), the words ``the defendant may demand a jury 
trial'' are substituted for ``trial shall be by the court, or, upon 
demand of the accused, by a jury'' to eliminate unnecessary words and 
for consistency in the revised title.
    In subsection (b), the words ``may be served in any judicial 
district'' are substituted for ``may run into any other district'' for 
clarity.
    In subsection (c), the words ``a final action of the Secretary'' are 
substituted for ``Any final agency action taken by the Secretary'' to 
eliminate unnecessary words. The words ``this part or, as applicable to 
railroad safety, chapter 51 or 57 of this title'' are substituted for 
``this subchapter or under any of the other Federal railroad safety 
laws, as defined in section 441(e) of this title'' because of the 
restatement. The words ``is subject to judicial review as provided in 
chapter 7 of title 5'' are omitted as unnecessary because 5:ch. 7 
applies unless otherwise stated. The words ``by and in the manner 
prescribed'' are omitted as surplus.
