---------------------------------

    In subsection (a), the words ``project grants'' are substituted for 
``grants . . . for airport development and airport planning by project 
grants'' in 49 App.:2204(a) to eliminate unnecessary words and because 
of the definitions of ``project'' and ``project grant'' in section 47102 
of the revised title.
    In subsection (b), the words ``and such authority shall exist with 
respect to funds available for the making of grants for any fiscal year 
or part thereof pursuant to subsection (a) of this section'' are omitted 
as surplus.
    In subsection (c), the words ``except for obligations of amounts'' 
are substituted for ``except that nothing in this section shall preclude 
the obligation by grant agreement of apportioned funds'' to eliminate 
unnecessary words.
