    In subsection (a)(1), the words ``which is manufactured on or after 
the date the standard under section 2022 of this title takes effect 
under this subchapter for such vehicle or major replacement part'' are 
omitted as obsolete because the standard applies to passenger motor 
vehicles and major replacement parts starting with the 1987 model year. 
See 50 Fed. Reg. 43166 (1985).
    In subsection (a)(5)(A), the words ``of any kind'' are omitted as 
unnecessary because of the definition of ``chop shop'' in section 33101 
of the revised title.

                  Section Referred to in Other Sections

    This section is referred to in section 33115 of this title.
