    The words ``duties and powers . . . that were vested . . . in'' are 
coextensive with, and substituted for, ``transferred . . . such 
functions set forth in the Interstate Commerce Act and vested by law 
in'' for clarity and to eliminate unnecessary words. The words ``on 
October 1, 1977'' are added to reflect the effective date of the 
transfer of the duties and powers to the Secretary of Energy.

  Abolition of Interstate Commerce Commission and Transfer of Functions

transferred, except as otherwise provided in Pub. L. 104-88, to Surface

deemed to refer to Surface Transportation Board, a member or employee of 
the Board, or Secretary of Transportation, as appropriate, see section
