    In this section, before clause (1), the words ``association, firm, 
or corporation'' are omitted because of 1:1. The words ``fined under 
title 18'' are substituted for ``a fine of not to exceed $10,000'' for 
consistency with title 18. In clauses (1)-(3), the words ``false 
representation'' are omitted as surplus. In clauses (1) and (2), the 
words ``false report'' are omitted as surplus. The words ``included in a 
grant application'' are added for clarity and consistency in this 
chapter. In clause (3), the words ``to be made'' are omitted as surplus.
