                                                                          6(f)(

    The section is included because 49:1655(f)(2) gave the same 
administrative powers exercised by the Interstate Commerce Commission 
under certain sections of title 49 to the Secretary of Transportation to 
carry out duties transferred to the Secretary by 49:1655(e). See the 
revision notes for section 501 of the revised title for an explanation 
of the transfer under 49:1655(f)(2). The powers of the Commission have 
been codified in subtitle IV of the revised title. The comparable 
provisions of title 49 that are represented by the section may be found 
as follows:

    See the revision notes for the revised section for an explanation of 
changes made in the text. Changes not accounted for in those revision 
notes are as follows:
    The section does not apply to motor carriers of migrant workers and 
motor private carriers because 49:322(c) (related to evasion of 
regulation) only applies to motor carriers and 49:304(a)(3) and (3a) do 
not apply 49:322(c) (related to evasion of regulation) to motor carriers 
of migrant workers and motor private carriers.
