    In this section, the text of 49 App.:1531(3) is omitted as surplus 
because the complete name of the Secretary of Transportation is used the 
first time the term appears in a section.
    In clause (1)(B)(i), the words ``United States Government'' are 
substituted for ``United States or any department or agency thereof'' 
for consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the United 
States Code.
    In clause (1)(B)(ii), the words ``the government of'' are omitted 
for consistency in the revised title.
    In clause (2), the words ``insurance company'' are omitted as being 
included in ``insurance carrier''. The words ``means a person'' are 
added because they are inclusive. The words ``group or association'' are 
omitted as being included in ``person''. The word ``State'' is 
substituted for ``State of the United States'' to eliminate unnecessary 
words.
