(July 1, 1944, ch. 373, title XXIV, §2432, as added Pub. L. 100–607, title II, §211, Nov. 4, 1988, 102 Stat. 3090; amended Pub. L. 100–690, title II, §2618(i), Nov. 18, 1988, 102 Stat. 4242; Pub. L. 102–321, title I, §118(b)(1)(B), July 10, 1992, 106 Stat. 348.)

1992—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 102–321, which directed the substitution of "part" for "subpart" wherever appearing in subsec. (a), could not be executed because the word "subpart" does not appear in subsec. (a).

1988—Subsec. (c). Pub. L. 100–690, §2618(i)(1), substituted "indicate that an individual" for "indicate that the individual" in introductory provisions and "paragraph (5)" for "paragraph (4)" in par. (6).

Subsec. (e)(1) to (3). Pub. L. 100–690, §2618(i)(2), substituted "subpart" for "part".

Amendment by Pub. L. 102–321 effective Oct. 1, 1992, with provision for programs providing financial assistance, see section 801(c), (d) of Pub. L. 102–321, set out as a note under section 236 of this title.

¹ So in original. Probably should be "part".
