    The word ``Administrator'' in section 902(g) of the Federal Aviation 
Act of 1958 (Public Law 85-726, 72 Stat. 785) is retained on authority 
of 49:106(g). The words ``not obeying'' are substituted for ``who shall 
neglect or refuse . . . or to answer any lawful inquiry . . . in 
obedience to'' to eliminate surplus words. The word ``lawful'' is 
omitted as surplus. The word ``appear'' is substituted for ``attend'' 
for clarity. The word ``records'' is substituted for ``books, papers, or 
documents'' for consistency in the revised title and with other titles 
of the United States Code. The words ``if in his power to do so'' are 
omitted as surplus. The words ``shall be guilty of a misdemeanor'' are 
omitted for consistency with title 18. The words ``and, upon conviction 
thereof'' are omitted as surplus. The words ``fined under title 18'' are 
substituted for ``a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $5,000'' 
for consistency with title 18.
