    In this section, before clause (1), the words ``fined under title 
18'' are substituted for ``a fine of not exceeding $5,000'' for 
consistency with title 18. The words ``such fine and imprisonment'' are 
omitted as surplus. In clause (1), the words ``used at'' are substituted 
for ``in connection with'' for clarity. The words ``airport or other'' 
are omitted as being included in the definition of ``air navigation 
facility'' in section 40102(a) of the revised title. In clause (2), the 
word ``due'' is omitted as surplus. The word ``Administrator'' in 
section 902(c) of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (Public Law 85-726, 
72 Stat. 784) is retained on authority of 49:106(g). In clause (3), the 
words ``removes, extinguishes, or'' are omitted as surplus.
