    In subsection (a), the words ``provisions of title 5 governing 
appointment in the competitive service'' are substituted for ``civil 
service laws'' in 49:1657(o) for clarity and consistency. The words ``as 
shall be appropriate for the purpose of'' before ``consultation'' in 
49:1657(o) are omitted as surplus. The words ``the Secretary in carrying 
out the duties and powers of the Secretary'' are substituted for ``the 
Department in performance of its functions'' in 49:1657(o) and ``the 
Administration in performance of its functions hereunder'' in 49:1343(g) 
for clarity and consistency because the duties and powers are vested in 
the Secretary of Transportation.
    In subsection (b), the word ``compensation'' after ``may be paid'' 
in 49:1657(o) is omitted as surplus. The words ``not more than $100 a 
day'' are substituted for ``at rates not exceeding those authorized for 
individuals under subsection (b) of this section'' in 49:1657(o) for 
clarity because that is the rate under 49:1657(b). The words ``A member 
is entitled to reimbursement for expenses under section 5703 of title 
5'' are substituted for 49:1343(g) (last sentence) and 49:1657(o) (last 
sentence words after 4th comma) for clarity.
    In subsection (c), the words ``A member of an advisory committee 
advising the Secretary'' are substituted for ``in the case of any 
individual'' in 49:1343(g) for clarity. The words ``may serve'' are 
added for clarity and because of the restatement of the section. The 
words ``in carrying out aviation duties and powers'' are added because 
the source provisions being restated only applies to carrying out duties 
and powers related to the Federal Aviation Administration.
