    The last 20 words of former section 781 are omitted as unnecessary 
in view of the definition of ``competitive service'' in section 2102 and 
the provisions of subchapter I of chapter 33 concerning examination and 
certification for and appointment in the competitive service.
    Administration of this subchapter was transferred to the Secretary 
of Labor by section 1 of 1950 Reorg. Plan No. 19, 64 Stat. 1271.
    Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions applicable 
and the style of this title as outlined in the preface to the report.
