    In subsection (a), the words ``a vehicle consisting'' are 
substituted for ``any combination'' for clarity. The words ``Dwight D. 
Eisenhower System of Interstate and Defense Highways'' are substituted 
for ``National System of Interstate and Defense Highways'' because of 
the Act of October 15, 1990 (Public Law 101-427, 104 Stat. 927).
    In subsection (b), the words ``Not later than 60 days after the date 
of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall initiate a rulemaking 
proceeding'' are omitted as executed.
