Editorial Notes
References in Text
This subchapter, referred to in subsec. (b)(1)(A), was in the original "this part" and was translated as reading "this chapter" to reflect the probable intent of Congress because subtitle B of title III of Pub. L. 100–690, which comprises subchapters I to III of this chapter, does not contain parts.
Amendments
1989—Subsec. (b)(1)(B). Pub. L. 101–204, §1001(b)(1)(A), inserted "stating" before "the general criteria".
Subsec. (b)(1)(C). Pub. L. 101–204, §1001(b)(1)(B), substituted "describing" for "a description of".
Subsec. (c). Pub. L. 101–204, §1001(b)(2), substituted "such officer" for "Administrator".
1 So in original. The word "the" probably should not appear.
