Editorial notes U.S. Code · Office of the Law Revision Counsel
The section consolidates and restates the source provision for clarity. The words “and copies of which shall be distributed as are the other reports transmitted to Congress” in 49:21 are omitted as unnecessary. The words “and data collected by the Commission” in 49:21 are omitted as surplus. The words “individuals employed by” are substituted for “persons employed by” in 49:21 since only natural persons may be employees. The last sentence of 49:14(3) is omitted as unnecessary.
