Sec. 49112. Separability and effect of judicial order

    (a) Separability.--If any provision of this chapter, or the 
application of a provision of this chapter to a person or circumstance, 
is held invalid, the remainder of this chapter and the application of 
the provision to other persons or circumstances is not affected.
    (b) Effect of Judicial Order.--(1) If any provision of the 
Metropolitan Washington Airports Amendments Act of 1996 (title IX of 
Public Law 104-264; 110 Stat. 3274) or the amendments made by the Act, 
or the application of that provision to a person, circumstance, or 
venue, is held invalid by a judicial order, the Secretary of 
Transportation and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority shall 
be subject to section 49108 of this title from the day after the day the 
order is issued.
    (2) Any action of the Airports Authority that was required to be 
submitted to the Board of Review under section 6007(f)(4) of the 
Metropolitan Washington Airports Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-500; 100 
Stat. 1783-380; Public Law 99-599; 100 Stat. 3341-383) before October 9, 
1996, remains in effect and may not be set aside only because of a 
judicial order invalidating certain functions of the Board.
