    In subsection (a), the term ``Executive agency'' is substituted for 
``any agency or project of the Federal Government'' on authority of 
former section 869. The last 28 words of the 1st sentence of former 
section 864 relating to recertification and reappointment are omitted 
since under sections 3317 and 3318(a) certification and appointment 
follow from placing on registers.
    Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions applicable 
and the style of this title as outlined in the preface to the report.
