                             The Amendment

    The text of the amendment appears in italic type in the 
reported bill.

                               Background

    This bill is a joint product of the Department of 
Transportation and the Office of the Law Revision Counsel of 
the House of Representatives. On November 10, 2002, the 
Secretary of Transportation transmitted to Congress proposed 
legislation to complete the codification of title 46, United 
States Code. The Secretary's transmittal was referred to the 
Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives. The 
Committee in turn requested the Office of the Law Revision 
Counsel, which has responsibility for preparing codification 
legislation pursuant to section 285b of title 2, United States 
Code, to review the Secretary's proposed legislation and to 
work with the Department of Transportation in preparing a bill 
for introduction. This bill is the product of that cooperative 
effort.

                History of Title 46 Codification Efforts

    The codification of title 46 began with the enactment of 
subtitle II (``Vessels and Seamen'') by Public Law 98-89 in 
1983. Section 2(j) of that law provided that:

        ``Within 2 years after the date of enactment of this 
        Act, the Federal Maritime Commission and the Secretary 
        of Transportation each shall submit to Congress a 
        proposed codification of the laws within their 
        respective jurisdictions related to shipping and 
        maritime matters.''

    In 1985, the Federal Maritime Commission and the Secretary 
of Transportation submitted drafts to Congress. Those drafts 
formed the basis of a bill which was introduced as H.R. 3106 in 
the 100th Congress in 1987. That bill would have codified the 
remainder of title 46 other than subtitle III (``Maritime 
Liability''). That bill was not enacted.
    Also in 1985, three related bills (H.R. 3156, H.R. 3157, 
and H.R. 3158) were introduced. Each of those bills would have 
enacted certain chapters in subtitle III (``Maritime 
Liability''). Those bills were not enacted.
    In 1986, part C (``Load Lines of Vessels'') and part J 
(``Measurement of Vessels'') were added to subtitle II by 
Public Law 99-509.
    In 1988, subtitle III (``Maritime Liability'') was enacted 
by Public Law 100-710. However, only two chapters were included 
in that enactment. The remaining chapters of subtitle III were 
planned for subsequent enactment but were never enacted.
    In 1989, an updated version of H.R. 3106 (referred to above 
and introduced in 1987) was prepared and printed as a 
``Committee Print'' of the Committee on Merchant Marine and 
Fisheries. However, that draft bill was never introduced.
    In 2002, subtitle VI (``Miscellaneous'') containing only 
chapter 701 (``Port Security'') was added by Public Law 107-
295.
    In 2003, subtitle V (``Merchant Marine'') containing only 
chapter 531 (``Maritime Security Fleet'') was added by Public 
Law 108-136.
    These prior enactments have originated from different 
congressional committees, apparently without a single overall 
plan for the organization of the title. This history 
demonstrates the present need to complete the codification of 
title 46 in accordance with such a plan.

                    Conformity With Original Intent

    The intent in this bill is to comply with the standard for 
codification legislation set forth in section 285b(1) of title 
2, United States Code, which provides that the restatement of 
existing law shall conform to ``the understood policy, intent, 
and purpose of the Congress in the original enactments, with 
such amendments and corrections as will remove ambiguities, 
contradictions, and other imperfections both of substance and 
of form''.
    In restating existing law, this bill consolidates various 
provisions of law which have been enacted separately over a 
period of many years. To restate these various provisions of 
law as a cohesive unit, it is necessary to makes changes in 
organization, style, and terminology. These changes are not 
intended, however, to result in changes in substance, and 
therefore they should not impair the precedent value of earlier 
judicial decisions or other interpretations. The following 
authorities are relevant to an interpretation of the general 
intent of codification legislation:

                                Hearings

    No hearings were held on H.R. 4319.

                        Committee Consideration

    On September 8, 2004, the Committee met in open session and 
ordered favorably reported the bill H.R. 4319, as amended, by a 
voice vote, a quorum being present.

                         Vote of the Committee

    In compliance with clause 3(b) of rule XIII of the Rules of

H.R. 4319.

                      Committee Oversight Findings

    In compliance with clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, the Committee reports that the 
findings and recommendations of the Committee, based on

descriptive portions of this report.

               New Budget Authority and Tax Expenditures

    Clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives is inapplicable because this legislation does

Honorable F. James Sensenbrenner Jr.
Chairman
Committee on the Judiciary
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515

Dear Mr. Chairman:

    The Congressional Budget Office has prepared the enclosed 
cost estimate for H.R. 4319, the Title 46 Codification Act of 
2004.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Deborah Reis, 
who can be reached at 226-2860.

                                  Sincerely,

                                  Douglas Holtz-Eakin

Enclosure
cc: Honorable John Conyers Jr.
   Ranking Member

H.R. 4319--Title 46 Codification Act of 2004

    H.R. 4319 would codify portions of title 46, United States 
Code, concerning shipping, and make technical changes to 
various shipping laws enforced by the Maritime Administration, 
the U.S. Coast Guard, and other federal agencies. CBO estimates 
that enacting this bill would result in no cost to the federal 
government and would not affect direct spending or revenues.
    H.R. 4319 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector 
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and 
would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal 
governments.
    The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Deborah Reis, 
who can be reached at 226-2860. This estimate was approved by 
Peter H. Fontaine, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget 
Analysis.

                    Performance Goals and Objectives

    Clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives is inapplicable because H.R. 4319 does not 
authorize funding.

                   Constitutional Authority Statement

    Pursuant to clause 3(d)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the Committee finds the authority for 
this legislation in article I, section 8 of the Constitution.

                          Review and Comments

    Upon introduction of the bill, Chairman Sensenbrenner 
inserted a statement in the Congressional Record inviting 
review and comment on the bill. In addition, he sent a letter 
inviting review and comment to various congressional 
committees, government agencies, and private organizations 
thought to be particularly interested in the bill. Comments 
were to be submitted to the Office of the Law Revision Counsel.
    Many comments were submitted. The Office of the Law 
Revision Counsel studied all of the comments and discussed them 
as necessary with those submitting the comments in order to 
achieve a satisfactory resolution. Many of the comments 
resulted in changes in the bill or in the accompanying section-
by-section explanation of the bill.
    The following formal letters were submitted commenting on 
the bill:

    Re: Comments on H.R. 4319

Dear Congressman Sensenbrenner:

    Attached are the comments of The Maritime Law Association 
of the United States (MLAUS) on H.R. 4319, to complete the 
codification of title 46, United States Code, ``Shipping'', as 
positive law. The MLAUS, since its founding in 1899, has been 
intimately concerned with federal law as it relates to the 
maritime industry. Through the cooperation of Mr. Thomas W. 
Herlihy, Assistant General Counsel for Legislation, U.S. 
Department of Transportation, we have been involved in this 
codification effort from its early stages. I wish to take this 
opportunity to thank Mr. Herlihy and Mr. Richard B. Simpson, 
Senior Counsel, Office of Law Revision Counsel, U.S. House of 
Representatives, for the many kindnesses shown to the MLAUS 
throughout this long project.

    You are to be congratulated for taking on this long-overdue 
completion of the codification of Title 46, U.S. Code. The 
updating and reorganization of these important provisions will 
enhance understanding of and compliance with these important 
laws.

    Your bill as drafted has done an excellent job of 
converting disparate statutes enacted by various Congresses 
over the past 200 years into a cohesive unit. Attached are some 
recommendations for relatively minor changes that we believe 
will further these efforts.

    Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any 
questions regarding our comments or if we can be of additional 
assistance.

                                  Sincerely,

                                  Thomas S. Rue, President

Dear Chairman Sensenbrenner,

    This is in response to the invitation for comment on H.R. 
4319, a bill to complete the codification of title 46, United 
States Code, ``Shipping'', as positive law. On behalf of the 
Federal Maritime Commission, I offer my enthusiastic support 
for this legislation.

    As the administrators of the Shipping Act of 1984, as 
amended by the Ocean Shipping Reform Act, 46 U.S.C. app. 
Sec. 1701 et seq., this agency greatly appreciates the 
codification of significant portions of U.S. maritime law into 
a cohesive and accessible format. While this bill makes no 
change in the substance of our existing statute, the revisions 
are certain to provide a level of clarity and organization that 
will be of great value to the shipping public.

    Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

                                  Sincerely,

                                  Steven R. Blust

The Honorable F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr.
Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515

Dear Mr. Chairman:

    This responds to your recent letter of June 3 inviting the 
U.S. Department of Transportation to provide you with its views 
on H.R. 4319, a bill

        To complete the codification of title 46, United States 
        Code, ``Shipping'', as positive law.

    The Department strongly supports H.R. 4319 and greatly 
appreciates the Committee's efforts to advance this initiative. 
Title 46 of the United States Code has been partially codified 
and enacted by Congress into positive law. The partial 
revision, as it currently exists, was begun in 1983. Certain 
laws concerning marine safety and maritime liability were 
codified but overall revision of title 46 was not completed. 
The extensive portions of title 46 that have not been codified 
appear as an ``Appendix'' to the title. Much of the Appendix to 
title 46, which contains significant aspects of U.S. maritime 
law, consists of numerous public laws that have been enacted 
over the last century with little attention to the organization 
of maritime law as a single body of law. As a result, the 
current format of title 46 is disjointed, confusing and often 
without apparent logic. Issues of coastwise trade, for example, 
are currently found in no fewer than three separate chapters 
within title 46. Revisions made under this bill would 
consolidate coastwise trade into one chapter with a logical 
progression of sections within the chapter.

    In addition, many of the laws that comprise the Appendix 
date back to the late 1800's and early 1900's and are written 
in language that is archaic and difficult to understand. There 
is also a significant amount of redundancy and obsolete 
material within the Appendix. This bill would eliminate 
redundancies, obsolete provisions and unnecessary archaic 
verbiage.

    Additionally, Government reorganizations, both recent and 
historic, have made agency references in title 46 inaccurate 
and misleading. Sporadic and inaccurate references to the 
Secretary of Commerce and the Department of Commerce have been 
revised to reflect the reality, since 1981, that the functions 
of the Maritime Administration reside with the Secretary of 
Transportation. Additionally, transfer of the Coast Guard and 
the former U.S. Customs Service, which were previously part of 
the Department of Transportation and the Department of the 
Treasury respectively, to the Department of Homeland Security, 
has necessitated numerous changes in reference to the 
appropriate Department. Overall, H.R. 4319 makes significant 
improvements to the organization, accuracy and clarity of title 
46.

    Despite the broad revisions, it is important to note that 
section 16(b) of the bill explicitly states that all restated 
language in the proposal is intended to conform to the 
understood policy, intent and purpose of the Congress in the 
original enactments. This provision is critical for the assured 
continuity of administration for the numerous maritime laws 
restated in H.R. 4319.

    Congress and the Administration are constantly striving to 
make Government programs that are available to the public, 
under the law, more accessible and easily understood. This 
proposal will make it far easier for anyone seeking information 
under title 46 to find it and make appropriate use of it. The 
Department of Transportation strongly supports H.R. 4319 and 
urges swift enactment of the bill.

    The Office of Management and Budget has advised that there 
is no objection, from the standpoint of the Administration's 
program, to the submission of this letter to Congress. We 
appreciate the opportunity to comment on this legislation.

                                  Sincerely yours,

                                  Norman Y. Mineta

The Honorable F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr.
Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary
United States House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515

Dear Mr. Chairman:

    This responds to your letter to Secretary Snow requesting 
the views of the Department of the Treasury on H.R. 4319, ``To 
complete the codification of title 46, United States Code, 
`Shipping', as positive law.''

    The Department generally defers to the Department of 
Transportation and other Departments and agencies whose 
authorities arise out of the provisions of title 46. 
Nevertheless, the Department of the Treasury is concerned about 
a number of provisions in the bill. In working with the Office 
of the Law Revision Counsel (OLRC), however, those concerns 
have been satisfactorily addressed and we have been assured 
that the agreements reached in addressing those concerns will 
be reflected in the amendments to be made when the bill is 
reported by committee. Specifically, our concerns were with 
proposed sections 53312, 53502, 53504, and 55304.

Section 53312:

    In section 53312 the phrase ``notwithstanding any other 
provision of law,'' which generally signifies that Congress 
intends a particular Code provision to take precedence over 
other Code provisions that may otherwise be construed as being 
in conflict with it, was deleted as ``unnecessary.'' The phrase 
is not unnecessary and OLRC had agreed to its reinsertion.

Sections 53502 and 53504:

    We were concerned that while the Departments of 
Transportation and Commerce administer the Capital Construction 
Fund (CCF) program, sections 53502 and 53504 could undermine 
Treasury's exclusive jurisdiction over tax issues arising under 
the CCF program. To address this concern OLRC will add to the 
section-by-section explanation for section 53501, which will 
appear in the committee report of the House Judiciary 
Committee, the following language: ``The codification of laws 
in this chapter is not intended to alter the existing 
jurisdictional relationship of the Secretaries who administer 
those laws.''

Section 55304:

    Section 55304 is a ``sense of the Congress'' statement 
whose source is Public Resolution 17 of March 26, 1934 (46 App. 
U.S.C. 1241-1). While codification of the Resolution should not 
change the nature of the Resolution, a guide that does not have 
the force and effect of law, codification confuses the issue by 
placing it in the body of the Code. To address this concern 
OLRC will add to the section-by-section explanation for section 
55304 in the committee report the following language: ``This 
section codifies the Joint Resolution of March 26, 1934 (ch. 
90, 48 Stat. 500) (also commonly known as Public Resolution 
17). The codification of this provision is not intended to 
change its status as a `Sense of Congress' provision in any 
way.''

    We note that in addition to the foregoing, reference to the 
Reconstruction Finance Corporation has been deleted from 
section 55304 as obsolete. We do no have an issue with this 
deletion.

    Given that the Department's concerns will be addressed, we 
have no objection to H.R. 4319.

    Thank you for the opportunity to comment. The Office of 
Management and Budget has advised that there is no objection to 
this letter from the standpoint of the Administration's 
program.

                                  Sincerely,

                                  James W. Carroll, Jr.

Dear Mr. Chairman:

    The Department of Justice has reviewed H.R. 4319, a bill to 
complete the codification of Title 46, United States Code, 
``Shipping'', as positive law. We offer the following comments:

    First, 46 U.S.C. Sec. 301 (General Organization) 
establishes the Federal Maritime Commission as an ``independent 
establishment of the United States Government,'' and provides: 
``The Commission is composed of 5 Commissioners appointed by 
the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. 
Not more than 3 Commissioners may be appointed from the same 
political party.'' This Commission exercises ``significant 
authority pursuant to the laws of the United States,'' Buckley 
v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1 (1976), so the appointment of its members 
is subject to the requirements of the Appointments Clause. See 
U.S. Constitution, art. II, Sec. 2, cl. 2. We believe political 
affiliation restrictions on the President's constitutional 
authority to appoint officers of his own choosing and 
preferences are constitutionally inappropriate when applied to 
the kind of agency in question here. Although various statutes 
presently limit the members of any given political party that 
may be appointed to certain Federal commissions, such 
requirements are generally necessitated by the special 
character and responsibilities of the offices to which they 
apply. Political party restrictions may be relevant, for 
example, where political balance is required in a commission 
that regulates partisan political campaigns, where political 
affiliation is of paramount importance and relevance. See, 
e.g., 2 U.S.C. Sec. 437c(a)(1) (requiring political balance on 
the Federal Election Commission); see also 5 U.S.C. App. 
Section 3 (applying restriction to the appointment of 
inspectors general). In our view, the political party 
affiliation restriction here invalidly circumscribes the 
President's power of appointment because the restriction is not 
germane to the duties of the Federal Maritime Commission and 
because of the exceptionally broad executive authority that 
would be exercised by that Commission.

    Second, 46 U.S.C. Sec. 301(b)(3) would provide: ``The 
President may remove a Commissioner for inefficiency, neglect 
of duty, or malfeasance in office.'' By limiting the 
President's power to remove the Commissioners, who collectively 
exercise substantial executive power, this provision would 
interfere with the President's obligation to ``take care that 
the laws be faithfully executed.'' U.S. Const., art. II, 
Sec. 3. To be sure, the Supreme Court has upheld a restriction 
on the President's removal power in certain limited contexts. 
Humphrey's Executor v. United States, 295 U.S. 602 (1935). But 
in Humphrey's Executor, the Court employed a functional 
analysis that turned on its assessment of the nature of 
independent-agency adjudication: ``The commission is to be 
nonpartisan; and it must, from the very nature of its duties, 
act with entire impartiality. It is charged with the 
enforcement of no policy except the policy of the law. Its 
duties are neither political nor executive, but predominantly 
quasi judicial and quasi legislative.'' Id. at 624. Whatever 
the ongoing validity of this reasoning, it is not clear that 
the many substantial powers of the Federal Maritime Commission 
fit this description. To avoid raising this constitutional 
issue, we recommend that this removal restriction be deleted 
from the bill.

    Third, section 306(a) (Annual Report) would require the 
Commission to submit a report to Congress, which shall include, 
inter alia, ``any recommendations for legislation,'' and 
section 306(b)(4), more specifically, requires the report to 
include ``any recommendations for additional legislation to 
offset'' certain conditions created by foreign law regarding 
shipping. To the extent that this provision could be construed 
to require recommendations for legislation, it would run afoul 
of the Recommendations Clause. Under Article II, section 3 of 
the Constitution, the President may recommend for legislative 
consideration ``such measures as he shall judge necessary and 
expedient . . .'' This clause gives the President exclusive 
authority to decide whether and when the Executive branch 
should propose legislation. For this reason, we repeatedly have 
objected to any attempt by Congress to require the President or 
his subordinates to submit legislative proposals. While the 
word ``any'' in section 306 might be construed to confer the 
necessary discretion, we nevertheless recommend that the words 
``that the President shall judge necessary and expedient'' be 
added after the word ``legislation'' in sections 306(a) and 
306(b)(4), to clarify that the provisions are consistent with 
the Recommendations Clause and to clarify that the decision to 
recommend legislation remains with the President.

    Fourth, 46 U.S.C. Sec. 40705(b) (Presidential review of 
Commission orders) would authorize the President to stay 
certain orders of the Commission if he finds that the stay is 
required for reasons of national defense or foreign policy. It 
further provides: ``During a stay, the President shall, 
whenever practicable, attempt to resolve the matter by 
negotiating with representatives of the applicable foreign 
governments.'' Likewise, 46 U.S.C. Sec. 41108(c)(2) would 
provide that ``[o]n receiving [a certain] notification, the 
Secretary of State shall promptly consult with the government 
of the nation within which [certain] information or documents 
are alleged to be located for the purpose of assisting the 
Commission in obtaining the information or documents.'' These 
provisions are in serious tension with the Constitution, which 
commits to the President the primary responsibility for 
conducting the foreign relations of the United States, see, 
e.g., Department of Navy v. Egan, 484 U.S. 518, 529 (1988) (the 
Supreme Court has ``recognized `the generally accepted view 
that foreign policy was the province and responsibility of the 
Executive' '') (quoting Haig v. Agee, 453 U.S. 280, 293-94 
(1981)), and the exclusive responsibility for formulating the 
position of the United States in international fora and for 
conducting negotiations with foreign nations, see, e.g., United 
States v. Louisiana, 363 U.S. 1, 35 (1960) (the President is 
``the constitutional representative of the United States in its 
dealings with foreign nations''); United States v. Curtiss-
Wright Corp., 299 U.S. 304, 319 (1936) (``[T]he President alone 
has the power to speak or listen as a representative of the 
nation . . . Into the field of negotiation the Senate cannot 
intrude; and Congress itself is powerless to invade it.''). We 
recommend that these provisions be stricken from the bill or 
alternatively that the word ``shall'' be replaced with the word 
``may'' in both provisions.

    Fifth, 46 U.S.C. Sec. 40902(c) (Financial Responsibility) 
would require the Commission to issue regulations, which 
``shall provide that a [court] judgment for monetary damages 
may not be enforced except to the extent that the damages 
claimed arise from the transportation-related activities of the 
insured ocean transportation intermediary, as defined by the 
Commission.'' While Congress has the power to create a rule of 
decision to this effect, or to delegate to the Commission the 
power to create such a rule, it is another matter to apply this 
rule by altering the effect of an Article III judgment. See 
Chicago & Southern Air Lines, Inc. v. Waterman S.S Corp., 333 
U.S. 103, 113 (``Judgments within the powers vested in courts 
by the Judiciary Article of the Constitution may not lawfully 
be revised, overturned or refused full faith and credit by 
another Department of Government.''); see also United States v. 
O'Grady, 22 Wall. 641, 647-48 (1875) (``Judicial jurisdiction 
implies the power to hear and determine a cause, and . . . 
Congress cannot subject the judgments of the Supreme Court to 
the reexamination and revision of any other tribunal.''); 
Hayburn's Case, 2 Dall. 409, 413 (1792) (opinion of Iredell, 
J., and Sitgreaves, D.J.) (``[N]o decision of any court of the 
United States can, under any circumstances, . . . be liable to 
a revision, or even suspension, by the [l]egislature itself, in 
whom no judicial power of any kind appears to be vested.''). We 
recommend that this provision be recast as a rule of decision 
by replacing the words ``a judgment for monetary damages may 
not be enforced'' with the words ``monetary damages shall not 
be awarded.''

    Sixth, 46 U.S.C. Sec. 41307(d) (Hearings and Orders) would 
provide: ``The Commission may represent itself in a proceeding 
under this section in--(1) a district court of the United 
States, on notice to the Attorney General; and (2) a court of 
appeals of the United States, with the approval of the Attorney 
General.'' Because the Commissioners are not removable at will 
by the President, see 46 U.S.C. Sec. 301(b)(3), it is 
constitutionally problematic to vest the Federal Maritime 
Commission (FMC) with substantial litigating authority on 
behalf of the United States. Indeed, even if they were 
removable at will by the President, powerful policy 
considerations militate in favor of the centralization of 
Federal litigating authority in the Department of Justice, 
under the supervision of the Attorney General. See The Attorney 
General's Role as Chief Litigator for the United States, 6 Op. 
OLC 47, 54-55 (1982). We recommend that the FMC not be granted 
independent litigating authority at all. At a minimum, we 
recommend that the approval of the Attorney General be 
required, both in district courts and circuit courts.

    Seventh, section 55305 (Eligible fund deposits) of Chapter 
553 (in section 7 of H.R. 4319) requires that a set amount of 
certain cargo be transported on United States-flag commercial 
vessels. Paragraph (c) of section 55305 provides: ``The 
President, the Secretary of Defense, or Congress (by concurrent 
resolution or otherwise) may waive this section temporarily by-
(1) declaring the existence of an emergency justifying a 
waiver; and (2) notifying the appropriate agencies of the 
waiver.'' This provision purports to grant Congress authority 
to provide a waiver by concurrent resolution, which, although 
requiring passage by both Houses of Congress, is not presented 
to the President. Congressional action that has ``the purpose 
and effect of altering the legal rights, duties, and relations 
of persons, including . . . Executive Branch officials'' must 
comply with the Article I requirements of bicameralism and 
presentment. INS v. Chadha, 462 U.S. 919, 952 (1986); see also 
Bowsher v. Synar, 478 U.S. 714, 733-34 (1986) (``[O]nce 
Congress makes its choice in enacting legislation, its 
participation ends. Congress can thereafter control the 
execution of its enactment only indirectly--by passing new 
legislation.'') Because Congress lacks constitutional authority 
to grant such a waiver except by legislative action conforming 
with Article I, the reference to Congress should be deleted 
from section 55305(c).

Other Concerns

    In section 30904 (Exclusive Remedy), the words, ``under any 
other law'' should be deleted. This phrase was not part of the 
original section 745 which applies only to ``any other action 
arising'' out of the same matter for which there is a remedy 
provided by the ``Suits in Admiralty Act'' only, and not also 
``under any other law''. It is more than a cosmetic change 
since, with that addition, a claim for such things as a Title 
VII right of action, e.g., sexual harassment, which is separate 
from the Jones Act cause of action arising out of the same 
matter, would require the United States to be named as the 
party in lieu of the vessel operator. Title VII is ``another 
law,'' and is not ``a remedy provided by this chapter.'' Thus a 
substantive change is being made. Section 30904 should read: 
``If a remedy is provided by this chapter, an action arising 
out of the same subject matter may not be brought against an 
officer, employee, or agent of the United States Government or 
a federally owned corporation whose act or omission gave rise 
to the claim.''

    In sections 30909 (Exoneration and limitation) and 31106 
(Arbitration, compromise, or settlement), the words, ``under 
this chapter'' should be deleted from each section. Neither 46 
U.S.C. Sec. 746 or 46 App. U.S.C. Sec. 789, the bases for these 
proposed sections, contained the limiting phrase ``under this 
chapter.'' This addition seems to imply, or could be 
interpreted to mean, that the United States only has the right 
to limit liability or claim exoneration in cases where it is 
first sued. Petitions for limitation or exoneration may be 
filed before the shipowner is sued. Thus, that right does not 
only exist for actions ``under this chapter.'' The United 
States has the right to petition for limitation of liability 
independent of these sections; therefore, if the phrase is 
included, that may obscure that right. The purpose of the 
rewrite is clarification and simplicity, and deleting that 
phrase achieves that. Sections 30909 and 31106 should read: 
``In a civil action, the United States Government is entitled 
to the exemptions from and limitations of liability provided by 
law to an owner, charterer, operator, or agent of a vessel.''

                      Federal Maritime Commission

                         Washington, D.C. 20573

                              July 2, 2004


The Honorable F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr.
Chairman
Committee on the Judiciary
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515-6216

Dear Mr. Chairman:

    I would like to present the following response to the 
comments of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to H.R. 4319. As 
Chairman Sensenbrenner stated on May 10, 2004, this bill is 
intended solely as a codification, and ``makes no change in the 
substance of existing law.'' DOJ's comments go well beyond that 
objective, and challenge several structural characteristics of 
the Commission that have been in place since its establishment 
in 1961. See Reorganization Plan No. 7 of 1961, 
Sec. Sec. 102(a), (c) (limited Presidential removal power, and 
political affiliation restrictions on Commission membership.)

    At the core of DOJ's comments is disagreement with the 
Commission's status as an independent agency. Thus, DOJ objects 
to the bill's continuation of the Commission's authority to 
represent itself in certain proceedings before the district and 
circuit courts of the United States. See 46 U.S.C. 41207(d). 
The independent authority at issue here primarily involves the 
Commission's power to seek injunctive relief against agreements 
it determines to be substantially anticompetitive. Such 
agreements, it must be noted, are immune from the antitrust 
laws. Nevertheless, DOJ's proposed amendment to the bill would 
vest in the Department of Justice the authority to decide when 
to pursue a suit to enjoin an agreement that DOJ cannot 
otherwise regulate. This is contrary to Congress's removal of 
oceanborne transportation agreements from antitrust oversight. 
It would be counterproductive because the interests of the 
Commission are not always aligned with those of the Department 
of Justice. See, e.g., United States v. Federal Maritime 
Comm'n, 694 F.2d 793, 804 (D.C. Cir. 1982) (``Congress was 
aware that the Justice Department on occasion had been and 
would be an adversary of the [Commission] - both as a co-
respondent and as a petitioner - and yet evinced no intent to 
preclude the Department from assuming that role''). This is 
particularly true when the interests of DOJ as the enforcer of 
the antitrust laws conflict with the interests of the 
Commission as the independent agency tasked with regulating 
antitrust-immune common carriage. See, e.g., United States v. 
Federal Maritime Comm'n, 503 F.2d 157 (D.C. Cir.) (DOJ 
challenged FMC's determination to approve merger agreement, 
arguing that merger should not be immune from the antitrust 
laws), cert. denied, 419 U.S. 1070 (1974). In this context, 
Congress has been protective of the litigating authority of 
independent agencies like the Commission. See, e.g., Interstate 
Commerce Commission - Review, P.L. 93-584, H.R. Rep. No. 1569, 
93rd Cong. (1974), reprinted in 1974 U.S.C.C.A.N. 7025. 
Finally, although DOJ characterizes the Commission's litigating 
authority as ``constitutionally problematic,'' the Supreme 
Court has already expressed approval for litigating authority 
held by an independent agency. See Federal Election Comm'n v. 
NRA, 513 U.S. 88, 96-97 (1994) (``Congress could obviously 
choose, if it sought to do so, to sacrifice the policy favoring 
concentration of litigating authority before this Court in the 
Solicitor General in favor of allowing [an agency] to petition 
here on its own.''

    DOJ also disapproves of the bill's continued requirement 
that the Commission file an annual report with Congress, 
including ``any recommendations for legislation.'' I believe 
that the opportunity to apprise Congress directly of specific 
legislative recommendations is crucial for the Commission in 
its role as an independent, expert agency. Indeed, this has 
been an important feature of the relationship between Congress 
and the Commission (and its predecessor agencies) for nearly 70 
years. See Merchant Marine Act, 1936, Sec. 208 referenced in 
Reorganization Plan No. 21 of 1950, Sec. 105(5), and 
incorporated in Reorganization Plan No. 7 of 1961, Sec. 103(e).

    In sum, I would like to state my support for the 
codification as a simple restatement of positive law.

                                  Sincerely,

                                  Steven R. Blust
                                  Chairman

    A definition of ``agency'' is added to avoid having to 
repeat the substance of the definition at various places in the 
revised title.

    The words ``when used in reference to a natural person'' 
are added because of provisions in the title which treat 
entities as citizens. The words ``or an individual citizen of 
the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands who is exclusively 
domiciled in the Northern Mariana Islands within the meaning of 
section 1005(e) of the Covenant to establish a Commonwealth of 
the Northern Mariana Islands in Political Union with the United 
States of America (48 U.S.C. 1681 note)'' are omitted because 
the Covenant referred to became effective November 4, 1986, 
making citizens of the Northern Mariana Islands citizens or 
non-citizen nationals of the United States.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This section replaces 46 U.S.C. 2108, which was enacted as 
part of the codification of subtitle II of title 46 in 1983. 
That provision was based on section 26 of the Act of June 26, 
1884, ch. 121, 23 Stat. 59, which prior to the subtitle II 
codification appeared at 46 U.S.C. 8 (1982 ed.). In the 
enactment of 46 U.S.C. 2108, the scope of the 1884 provision 
was narrowed, presumably inadvertently. This section restores 
the remissions authority to its prior scope. Note that 19 
C.F.R. Sec. 4.24 (2003) still refers to ``the authority to make 
refunds in accordance with section 26 of the Act of June 26, 
1884 (46 U.S.C. 8)'' as if that provision had not been replaced 
by 46 U.S.C. 2108 in 1983.

                   SECTION 4--SUBTITLE II OF TITLE 46

    Section 4 of the bill amends chapter 121 of title 46 to 
improve the organization and to add provisions of existing law 
which relate to vessel documentation. These provisions are 
currently in title 46 appendix and in statutory notes under 
sections in current chapter 121.
    Throughout chapter 121, the word ``Secretary'' is 
substituted for ``Secretary of Transportation'' and ``Secretary 
of the department in which the Coast Guard is operating'' to 
incorporate the definition of ``Secretary'' in section 2101 of 
title 46, which is amended by section 14(2)(D) of the bill to 
strike the exception to part H. The Coast Guard was transferred 
to the Department of Homeland Security, except when operating 
as part of the Navy. See section 1 of title 14, as amended by 
section 1704(a) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Public 
Law 107-296, 116 Stat. 2314), and section 888(b) of that Act 
(116 Stat. 2249).

    In subsection (a), the words ``its territories'' and ``or

``(not including trust territories)'' are omitted because the 
Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands has terminated. See 48 
U.S.C. 1681 note prec.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The words ``The Secretary of Transportation may issue a 
certificate of documentation with a coastwise endorsement'' and 
``when purchased by a citizen or citizens of the United

revised by the bill, provides the requirements for a wrecked 
vessel to obtain a coastwise endorsement.
    In subsection (c)(1), the words ``or her possessions'' are 
omitted as unnecessary because of the definition of ``United 
States'' in chapter 1 of the revised title.

    In subsection (b)(1), the word ``only'' is omitted because 
section 12102(a), as revised by the bill, contains a general 
requirement for appropriate documentation to engage in any 
trade.
    In subsection (c)(1), the word ``entity'' is substituted 
for ``corporation, partnership, association, trust, joint 
venture, limited liability company, limited liability 
partnership, or any other entity'' to eliminate unnecessary 
words.
    In subsection (e)(3), the words ``After October 1, 2001'' 
are omitted as obsolete.
    In subsection (i), the first two sentences of section 
203(b) of Public Law 105-277 are omitted as obsolete.

Treasury relating thereto were transferred to the Secretary of 
Homeland Security by section 403(1) of the Homeland Security 
Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-296, 116 Stat. 2178).

    In this section, the word ``Secretary'' is substituted for 
``Secretary of the Treasury'', thereby incorporating the 
definition of ``Secretary'' in section 2101 of title 46. The 
functions of the Secretary of the Treasury relating to the 
Coast Guard previously were transferred to the Secretary of 
Transportation by section 6(b) of the Department of 
Transportation Act (Pub. L. 89-670, Oct. 15, 1966, 80 Stat. 
938). The Coast Guard and the functions of the Secretary of 
Transportation relating to the Coast Guard were again 
transferred to the Department of Homeland Security by section 
888(b) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-296, 
Nov. 25, 2002, 116 Stat. 2135).
    In subsection (a)(1), the words ``seeking hereunder to 
document a vessel under the laws of the United States or to 
operate a vessel exempt from documentation under the laws of 
the United States'' are omitted as unnecessary because of the 
reorganization of the section.
    Subsection (d)(1)(B) is substituted for ``together with 
their owners or masters, shall be entitled to all the other 
benefits and privileges and shall be subject to the same 
requirements, penalties, and forfeitures as may be applicable 
in the case of vessels built in the United States and otherwise 
documented or exempt from documentation under the laws of the 
United States'' to eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (d)(2), the words before clause (A) are 
substituted for ``no vessel owned by any such corporation shall 
engage in the fisheries or in the transportation of merchandise 
or passengers for hire between points in the United States, 
including Territories, Districts, and possessions thereof, 
embraced within the coastwise laws, except'' to eliminate 
unnecessary words. See the definition of ``United States'' in 
chapter 1 of the revised title.

    In subsection (b), in clause (1), the words ``satisfies the 
requirements for a coastwise endorsement, except for the 
ownership requirement otherwise applicable without regard to 
this section'' are substituted for ``otherwise eligible for 
documentation under this section'' in 46 U.S.C. 12106(e)(1)(E) 
for clarity. Clause (A) of 46 U.S.C. 12106(e)(1) is omitted as 
redundant to the general requirements in revised section 12112 
on coastwise endorsements.
    In subsection (c)(3), the words ``documented with a 
coastwise endorsement'' are substituted for ``documented under 
this section'' because former section 12106 is being divided 
into multiple sections.
    Subsection (e) is substituted for ``(3) Upon termination by 
a demise charterer required under paragraph (1)(C), the 
coastwise endorsement of the vessel may, in the sole discretion 
of the Secretary, be continued after the termination for 
default of the demise charter for a period not to exceed 6 
months on such terms and conditions as the Secretary may 
prescribe'' for clarity and to eliminate unnecessary words.

    The words ``Notwithstanding section 27 of the Merchant

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (b)(1), the word ``Secretary'' is substituted 
for ``Secretary of the Treasury'', thereby incorporating the 
definition of ``Secretary'' in section 2101 of title 46. The 
functions of the Secretary of the Treasury relating to the 
Coast Guard previously were transferred to the Secretary of 
Transportation by section 6(b) of the Department of 
Transportation Act (Pub. L. 89-670, Oct. 15, 1966, 80 Stat. 
938). The Coast Guard and the functions of the Secretary of 
Transportation relating to the Coast Guard were again 
transferred to the Department of Homeland Security by section 
888(b) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-296, 
Nov. 25, 2002, 116 Stat. 2135). The words ``rebuilt outside the 
United States'' are substituted for ``and any part of the 
rebuilding, including the construction of major components of 
the hull and superstructure of the vessel, is not effected 
within the United States, its Territories (not including trust 
territories) or its possessions'' because of the definition of 
``rebuilt'' in section 12101, and the definition of ``United 
States'' in chapter 1, of the revised title.

    In subsection (b), in restating 46 App. U.S.C. 883a (2d,

of the vessel is omitted because subsection (a) provides a 
general civil penalty for violation of this chapter. The 
authority to remit or mitigate a penalty under section 2107(b) 
is omitted because section 2107(b) applies to subtitle II and 
this section is in subtitle II.

    In subsection (a), before clause (1), the words ``or either 
of them'' are omitted as unnecessary. The words ``are liable 
for personal injury to a passenger or damage to a passenger's 
baggage'' are substituted for ``Whenever damage is sustained by 
any passenger or his baggage'' and ``shall be liable to each 
and every person so injured'' for clarity and to eliminate 
unnecessary words. The words ``from explosion, fire, collision, 
or other cause'' are omitted as unnecessary. The words ``caused 
by'' are substituted for ``if it happens through'' to eliminate 
unnecessary words. In clause (1), the words ``part B or F of 
subtitle II of this title'' are substituted for ``title 52 of 
the Revised Statutes'' because of the prior codification of 
subtitle II of title 46. In clause (2), the word 
``imperfections'' is omitted as included in ``defect''.
    Subsection (b) is substituted for ``to the full amount of 
damage'' for clarity. See Hines v. Butler, 278 F. 877, 880, 881

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (a), the words ``A seaman injured in the 
course of employment or, if the seaman dies from the injury, 
the personal representative of the seaman'' are substituted for 
``Any seaman who shall suffer personal injury in the course of 
his employment'' and ``in case of the death of any seaman as a 
result of any such personal injury the personal 
representative'' to eliminate unnecessary words. The words 
``bring a civil action'' are substituted for ``maintain an 
action'' for consistency with rule 2 of the Federal Rules of 
Civil Procedure (28 App. U.S.C.). The words ``for damages'' are 
omitted as unnecessary. The words ``against the employer'' are 
added for clarity. The words ``Laws of the United States 
regulating recovery for personal injury to, or death of, a 
railway employee'' are substituted for ``all statutes of the 
United States modifying or extending the common-law right or 
remedy in cases of personal injury to railway employees'' and 
``all statutes of the United States conferring or regulating 
the right of action for death in the case of railway 
employees'' to eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (b), the words ``An action under this section 
shall be brought'' are substituted for ``Jurisdiction in such 
actions shall be under'' because 46 App. U.S.C. 688(a) (last 
sentence) provides for venue, not jurisdiction. Panama R.R. Co.

    In subsection (a), the words ``load'' and ``loading'' are 
substituted for ``lade'' and ``lading'' to use more common 
terminology. The words ``person receiving the item'' are 
substituted for ``master, clerk, agent, or owner of such vessel 
receiving the same'' to eliminate unnecessary words. The words 
``thereof in any form or manner'' and ``and according to the 
character thereof so notified and'' are omitted as unnecessary.
    In subsection (b), the words ``precious metals'' are 
substituted for ``platina, gold, gold dust, silver, . . . or 
other precious metals, . . . gold or silver in a manufactured 
or unmanufactured state'', the words ``precious stones'' are 
substituted for ``diamonds, or other precious stones'', the 
words ``watches, clocks'' are substituted for ``watches,

substituted for ``writings, title deeds'', and the word 
``silks'' is substituted for ``silks in a manufactured or 
unmanufactured state, and whether wrought up or not wrought up 
with any other material'', to eliminate unnecessary words. The 
words ``and similar items of high value and small size'' are 
added to ensure that any of the items specifically named in the 
source but omitted in the revised section, or similar items, 
will be covered by this section.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (a), the words ``Except as provided in 
section 30506 of this title'' are substituted for ``except in 
the cases provided for in subsection (b) of this section'' 
because 46 App. U.S.C. 183(b) is restated in section 30506 of 
the revised title. The words ``whether American or foreign'' 
are omitted as unnecessary because of section 30502 of the 
revised title. The words ``any claim arising from any cause, on 
account of that ownership'' are substituted for ``any 
embezzlement, loss, or destruction by any person of any 
property, goods, or merchandise shipped or put on board of such 
vessel, or for any loss, damage, or injury by collision, or for 
any act, matter, or thing, loss, damage, or forfeiture, done, 
occasioned, or incurred,'' in 46 App. U.S.C. 183(a) and for 
``any or all debts and liabilities'' in 46 App. U.S.C. 189 to 
eliminate unnecessary words. The words ``shall not exceed the 
value of the vessel and pending freight'' are substituted for 
``shall not . . . exceed the amount or value of . . . such 
vessel, and her freight then pending'' in 46 App. U.S.C. 183(a) 
and for ``the aggregate liabilities of all the owners of a 
vessel on account of the same shall not exceed the value of 
such vessels and freight pending'' in 46 App. U.S.C. 189 for 
consistency and to eliminate unnecessary words. The last 
sentence is substituted for ``the interest of such owner in'' 
in 46 App. U.S.C. 183(a) and for ``The individual liability of 
a shipowner shall be limited to the proportion of any or all 
debts and liabilities that his individual share of the vessel 
bears to the whole'' for clarity and consistency. The words 
``Provided, That this provision shall not prevent any claimant 
from joining all the owners in one action'' in 46 App. U.S.C. 
189 are omitted as unnecessary.
    Subsection (b) is substituted for ``nor shall the same 
apply to wages due to persons employed by said shipowners'' in 
46 App. U.S.C. 189 because of the reorganization of the source 
provisions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Subsection (a) is written as an application provision 
rather than as a definition to be more direct and to avoid 
having to repeat the word ``seagoing'' throughout the section. 
The words ``fishing vessel, fish tender vessel'' are 
substituted for ``fishing vessels or their tenders'' for 
clarity. The words ``nondescript vessel'' are substituted for 
``nondescript self-propelled vessels'' and ``nondescript non-
self-propelled vessels'' to eliminate unnecessary words. The 
words ``self-propelled lighters'' are omitted as covered by 
``lighter''. The words ``even though the same may be seagoing 
vessels within the meaning of such term as used in section 188 
of this Appendix, as amended'' are omitted as unnecessary. This 
provision is restated also at section 30508(a) of the revised 
title.
    In subsection (b), the words ``is such that the portion 
available to pay claims for personal injury or death'' are 
substituted for ``is insufficient to pay all losses in full, 
and the portion of such amount applicable to the payment of 
losses in respect of loss of life or bodily injury'' to 
eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (c), the words ``self-propelled vessel'' are 
substituted for ``steam or motor vessel'', and the words 
``tonnage for documentation'' are substituted for ``registered 
tonnage'', for consistency in the revised title. The words 
``space for the use of seamen'' are substituted for ``space 
occupied by seamen or apprentices and appropriated to their 
use'' to eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (d), the words ``Separate limits of liability 
apply'' are substituted for ``The owner . . . shall be liable . 
. . to the same extent as if no other loss of life or bodily 
injury had arisen'' to eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (e), the words ``the privity or knowledge . . 
. is imputed to the owner'' are substituted for ``shall be 
deemed conclusively the privity or knowledge of the owner'' for 
consistency and to eliminate unnecessary words. The words ``or 
of the superintendent'' are omitted for consistency.

    For an explanation of subsection (a), see the revision 
notes for section 30506(a), where 46 App. U.S.C. 183(f) is also 
restated.
    In subsection (b), before clause (1), the words ``sea-going 
vessel (other than tugs, barges, fishing vessels and their 
tenders)'' are omitted because of subsection (a) of this 
section. The word ``merchandise'' is omitted as covered by 
``property''. The words ``between ports in the United States, 
or between a port in the United States and a port in a foreign 
country'' are substituted for ``from or between ports of the 
United States and foreign ports'' for clarity and for 
consistency with section 30509(a)(1) of the revised title. See 
Burstein v. United States Lines Co., 43 F. Supp. 226 (S.D.N.Y. 
1942), rev'd on other grounds, 134 F.2d 89 (2d Cir. 1943). The 
word ``rule'' is omitted as covered by ``regulation''. In 
clause (1), the words ``after the date of the injury or death'' 
are added for clarity and consistency with clause (2).
    In subsection (c), before clause (1), the words ``When 
notice of a claim for personal injury or death is required by a 
contract, the failure to give the notice'' are substituted for 
``Failure to give such notice, where lawfully prescribed in 
such contract'' for clarity. In clause (1), the words ``the 
court finds'' are stated at the beginning rather than the 
middle to be more precise. The word ``damage'' is omitted as 
unnecessary. In clause (2), the words ``the court finds there 
was a satisfactory reason'' are substituted for ``the court 
excuses such failure on the ground that for some satisfactory 
reason'' to eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (d), before clause (1), the word ``claimant'' 
is substituted for ``person who is entitled to recover on any 
such claim'' to eliminate unnecessary words. The word 
``lawful'' is omitted as unnecessary. The words ``is tolled 
until'' are substituted for ``shall not be applicable so long 
as'' and ``but shall be applicable from'' for clarity and to 
eliminate unnecessary words.

    This chapter codifies the Act of February 13, 1893 (ch. 
105, 27 Stat. 445) (commonly known as the Harter Act). Changes 
are made to simplify, clarify, and modernize the language and 
style, but the intent is that these changes should not result 
in changes in substance.
    A definition of ``carrier'' is added based on language 
appearing in various provisions of the Harter Act. The 
definition avoids the need to repeat in various sections of 
this chapter the list of persons to whom the requirements and 
restrictions of this chapter apply, and it ensures that the 
list of persons is consistent in the chapter.

                                                        7, 27 Stat. 446.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Subsection (a) is added based on language appearing in 
various source provisions restated in this chapter. The word 
``carriage'' is substituted for ``transporting'', and the word 
``goods'' is substituted for ``merchandise or property'', to 
use the same terminology as in the Carriage of Goods By Sea Act 
(Apr. 16, 1936, ch. 229, 49 Stat. 1207). The words ``to or from 
any port in the United States'' are substituted for ``from or 
between ports of the United States and foreign ports'' in 46 
App. U.S.C. 190 and 193, ``from or between ports of the United 
States of America and foreign ports'' in 46 App. U.S.C. 191, 
and ``to or from any port in the United States of America'' in 
46 App. U.S.C. 192, for clarity and consistency. See Knott v. 
Botany Mills, 179 U.S. 69 (1900).
    Subsection (b) is added to ensure that the relationship 
between this chapter, which codifies and replaces the Harter 
Act, is the same as the pre-codification relationship between 
the Harter Act and the Carriage of Goods By Sea Act. See also 
section 16(d) of the bill, which provides that ``[f]or purposes 
of determining whether one provision of law supersedes another 
based on enactment later in time, the date of enactment of a 
provision codified by this Act is deemed to remain unchanged, 
continuing to be the date of enactment of the underlying 
provision that is codified''. The Carriage of Goods By Sea Act 
is not being included in this codification bill to avoid any 
possible misperception by any other nation that the United 
States is revising that law, which is a concern in light of 
current international negotiations relating to the carriage of 
goods by sea. That Act will remain untouched by this bill and 
(following enactment of this bill) will be reprinted in the 
United States Code in its current statutory form as a note 
under the first section of this chapter.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (a), the words ``transporting merchandise or 
property from or between ports of the United States and foreign 
ports'' are omitted because of section 30702(a) of the revised 
title. The word ``lawful'' (which modifies ``merchandise'') is 
omitted as unnecessary.
    In subsection (b)(2), the words ``or weight'' are added for 
consistency with the requirement to state whether it is the 
carrier's or shipper's weight.
    In subsection (b)(3), the word ``order'' is omitted as 
redundant to ``condition''. The words ``delivered to and 
received by . . . for transportation'' are omitted as 
unnecessary.

. . . to'', the word ``provision'' is substituted for ``clause, 
covenant, or agreement'', and the word ``improper'' is 
substituted for ``negligence, fault, or failure in proper'', to 
eliminate unnecessary words. The words ``any and all lawful'' 
and ``committed to its or their charge'' are omitted as 
unnecessary. The words ``Any such provision is void'' are 
substituted for ``Any and all words or clauses of such import 
inserted in bills of lading or shipping receipts shall be null

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (a), the words ``civil action'' are 
substituted for ``proceeding'' and ``libel'' because of rule 2 
of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (28 App. U.S.C.) and 
for consistency in the chapter. The words ``in rem or in 
personam in any district'' are omitted as unnecessary. The 
words ``admiralty claim'' are substituted for ``cross libel'' 
for consistency in this chapter and with the various means of 
asserting a claim (such as by counterclaim or cross-claim) 
allowed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The words 
``with the same force and effect as if the libel had been filed 
by a private party'' are omitted as unnecessary.
    Subsection (b) is substituted for the word ``nonjury'' to 
clarify that the nonjury requirement applies to any claim 
against the Government or a federally-owned corporation under 
this section regardless of which party brings the action.

    The words ``a federally-owned corporation'' are substituted 
for ``any corporation in which the United States or its 
representatives shall own the entire outstanding capital 
stock'' because of the definition of ``federally-owned 
corporation'' in section 30902 of the revised title. The words 
``after March 9, 1920'' are omitted as obsolete. The words ``in 
view of the provision herein made for a libel in personam'' are 
omitted as unnecessary. The words ``or its possessions'' are 
omitted because of the definition of ``United States'' in 
chapter 1 of the revised title. The words ``Provided, That this 
chapter shall not apply to the Panama Canal Commission'' are 
omitted because the Commission has been dissolved. See 22

    In the definition of ``service contract'', the words ``The 
contract may also specify provisions in the event of 
nonperformance on the part of any party'' are omitted as 
unnecessary and inappropriate for a definition.
    In the definition of ``shipper'', the words ``non-vessel-
operating common carrier'' are substituted for ``ocean 
transportation intermediary, as defined in paragraph (17)(B) of 
this section'' because paragraph (17)(B) contains a definition 
of ``non-vessel-operating common carrier'' which is restated as 
a separate definition.
    The definition of ``Commission'' is omitted because the 
full name of the Federal Maritime Commission is used the first 
time the Commission is referred to in each section. The 
definition of ``person'' is omitted as unnecessary because of 1 
U.S.C. 1. The definition of ``United States'' is omitted 
because the term is defined in chapter 1 of the revised title 
for purposes of the title.

    In clause (1), the words ``an error in a tariff, a failure 
to publish a new tariff'' are substituted for ``an error in a, 
in failing to publish a new tariff'' to correct an obvious 
error in the underlying statute.
    In clause (2), the words ``or waive'' are added for 
consistency with the reference to a waiver later in the clause.

    In subsection (a), the words ``marine terminal operator, or 
ocean freight forwarder'' are added because of 46 App. U.S.C. 
1709(d)(3) and (5). The words ``ocean freight forwarder'' are 
substituted for ``ocean transportation intermediaries, as 
defined by section 1702(17)(A) of this Appendix'' in 46 App. 
U.S.C. 1709(d)(5) because the definition of ``ocean 
transportation intermediary'' in section 1702(17)(A) contains a 
definition of ``ocean freight forwarder'' which is restated as 
a separate definition.
    In subsection (b), the words ``does not prevent'' are 
substituted for ``Nothing . . . shall be construed to prevent'' 
to eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (c)(1), the words ``may give information'' 
are substituted for ``Nor shall it be prohibited . . . to give 
information'' to eliminate unnecessary words. The words ``firm, 
corporation'' are omitted as unnecessary because firms and 
corporations are persons.
    In subsection (c)(2), the words ``may not prevent'' are 
substituted for ``Nor shall it be prohibited . . . to prevent'' 
to reflect the probable intent of Congress. The words ``but the 
use of such information for any other purpose prohibited by 
this chapter or any other Act is prohibited'' are omitted as 
unnecessary.

    In subsection (c)(1)(B), the words ``Secretary of Homeland 
Security'' are substituted for ``Secretary of the Treasury'' 
because the functions of the Secretary of the Treasury relating 
to the Customs Service were transferred to the Secretary of 
Homeland Security by section 403(1) of the Homeland Security 
Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-296, 116 Stat. 2178).

    In subsection (a), the word ``shall'' is substituted for 
``is authorized and directed'', and the words ``prescribe 
regulations'' are substituted for ``make rules and 
regulations'', for consistency in the revised title and to 
eliminate unnecessary words. The text of 46 App. U.S.C. 
1710a(h), insofar as it relates to 46 App. U.S.C. 876(a)(2), is 
omitted as unnecessary because this chapter already provides 
for the same remedies as those authorized by the omitted 
provision.
    In subsection (b), the words ``on the petition of any 
person, including another component of the United States 
Government'' are substituted for ``pursuant to a petition. Any 
person, including a common carrier, tramp operator, bulk 
operator, shipper, shippers' association, ocean transportation 
intermediary, marine terminal operator, or any component of the 
Government of the United States, may file a petition for relief 
under subsection (a)(2) of this section.'' for consistency with 
section 42302(b) of the revised title and to eliminate 
unnecessary words.

Service has been abolished and its functions are now carried 
out by the Coast Guard.

    In subsections (a) and (b), the words ``In carrying out'' 
are substituted for ``In furtherance of the purposes of'' and 
``In proceedings under'' for clarity and consistency.
    In subsection (b)(1), the words ``subpoena witnesses and 
evidence'' are substituted for ``by subpoena compel the 
attendance of witnesses and the production of books, papers, 
documents, and other evidence'' for consistency in the revised 
title and to eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (b)(2), the words ``conform to the Federal 
Rules of Civil Procedure (28 App. U.S.C.)'' are substituted for 
``are in conformity with the rules applicable in civil 
proceedings in the district courts of the United States'' for 
clarity.
    In subsection (d)(2), the penalties from 46 App. U.S.C. 
876(f)(4) and (g)(4)(B) are combined because they are

    In clause (1), the words ``Secretary of Homeland Security'' 
are substituted for ``collector of customs at the port or place 
of destination in the United States'' because the functions of 
the Customs Service and of the Secretary of the Treasury 
relating thereto were transferred to the Secretary of Homeland 
Security by section 403(1) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 
(Pub. L. 107-296, 116 Stat. 2178). The functions of the 
collector of customs previously were vested in the Secretary of 
the Treasury by Reorganization Plan No. 26 of 1950, and the 
office of collector of customs previously was abolished by 
Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1965.

    In clause (1), the words ``Secretary of Homeland Security'' 
are substituted for ``collector of customs at any port or place 
of destination in the United States'' because the functions of 
the Customs Service and of the Secretary of the Treasury 
relating thereto were transferred to the Secretary of Homeland 
Security by section 403(1) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 
(Pub. L. 107-296, 116 Stat. 2178). The functions of the 
collector of customs previously were vested in the Secretary of 
the Treasury by Reorganization Plan No. 26 of 1950, and the 
office of collector of customs previously was abolished by 
Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1965.

    In subsection (a), the words ``on or before the 1st day of 
December in each year'' in 46 App. U.S.C. 811 (last sentence) 
are omitted for consistency with the April 1 date in 46 
App.:1118. The words ``and of the operations of any corporation 
in which the United States is a stockholder, and the names and 
compensation of all persons employed by the Secretary of 
Transportation'' in 46 App. U.S.C. 811 (last sentence) are 
omitted because the provision originally applied to the United 
States Shipping Board (which was abolished in 1933) and 
presumably is not intended to apply to the Secretary.

    In subsection (c), the words ``Director of the Office of 
Management and Budget'' are substituted for ``Bureau of the 
Budget'' in the Act of June 2, 1951 (ch. 121, 65 Stat. 59), 
because of sections 101 and 102 of Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 
1970 (5 App. U.S.C.) and 31 U.S.C. ch. 5. The words ``for the 
purposes of that appropriation'' are omitted for clarity and 
for consistency in the subsection.
    In subsection (d), the words ``notwithstanding any other 
provisions of law'' and ``and consolidated with'' are omitted 
as unnecessary.
    In subsection (e), in paragraph (1), the words 
``Comptroller General'' are substituted for ``Government 
Accountability Office'' for consistency in the revised title. 
Paragraph (3) is substituted for ``(except in cases where 
section 1212 of this Appendix is applicable)'' because section 
1212 applies to all vessels under a construction-differential 
subsidy contract.
    In subsection (f), the words ``On and after June 20,

section 8 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1920 (ch. 250, 41 Stat. 
992) because of section 205(a) of the National Security Act of 
1947 (ch. 343, 61 Stat. 501). See 10 U.S.C. 3011 et seq. In 
clause (3), the words ``apparatus'' and ``appliances'' are 
omitted as unnecessary. In clause (4), the words ``consult 
with'' are substituted for ``advise with'' as being more 
grammatical.
    In subsection (b), the words ``rates or practices'' are 
substituted for ``rates, charges, rules, or regulations'' for 
consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the 
United States Code.

    In subsections (b) and (c), the words ``property described 
in the second paragraph of section 17 of the Merchant Marine 
Act, 1920 (ch. 250, 41 Stat. 994), as originally enacted'' are 
substituted for ``such other docks, piers, warehouses, wharves 
and terminal equipment and facilities or parts thereof, 
including all leasehold easements, rights of way, riparian 
rights and other rights, estates or interests therein or 
appurtenant thereto which were acquired . . . for military or 
naval purposes during the war emergency'', and the words 
``property described in section 17 of the Merchant Marine Act, 
1920 (ch. 250, 41 Stat. 994), as originally enacted'' are 
substituted for ``property taken over by or transferred to . . 
. under this section'', because the first paragraph of section 
17 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1920, was repealed in 1981 and 
reference to that paragraph is necessary for a complete 
understanding of these provisions. The words ``Secretary of a 
military department'' are substituted for ``War Department or 
the Navy Department'' and ``Department of the Army, Department 
of the Air Force, or Department of the Navy'' for consistency 
with other titles of the United States Code. For redesignation 
of the Department of War to the Department of the Army, and for 
transfer of certain functions to newly established Department 
of the Air Force, see sections 205(a) and 207(a) and (f) of the 
National Security Act of 1947 (ch. 343, 61 Stat. 501, 502, 
503).
    In subsection (b), the words ``possessed and controlled 
by'' are substituted for ``acquired by'' for clarity and for 
consistency in the section. The word ``best'' is omitted as 
unnecessary.

                                                        1959, 73 Stat.

    In subsection (a), the words ``and with respect to a 
corporation under subchapter VI of this chapter, all directors 
of the corporation are citizens of the United States'' in 46 
App. U.S.C. 1244(c) are omitted because part A of subchapter VI 
contains the operating-differential subsidy program which, 
under 46 App. U.S.C. 1185a, is being phased out, and part B of 
subchapter VI contains the Maritime Security Fleet program 
which is being repealed (effective October 1, 2005) and 
replaced by chapter 531 of title 46 as enacted by the Maritime 
Security Act of 2003. Thus, subchapter VI is being omitted from 
the revised title and will instead appear as a note under 
section 53101. The words ``and, in the case of a corporation, 
partnership, or association operating a vessel on the Great 
Lakes, or on bays, sounds, rivers, harbors, or inland lakes of 
the United States the amount of interest required to be owned 
by a citizen of the United States shall be not less than 75 per 
centum'' in 46 App. U.S.C. 1244(c) are omitted as covered by 
the 75 percent ownership requirement for operation in the 
coastwise trade.
    In subsection (b)(1), the words ``Territory, District, or 
possession thereof'' are omitted because of the definition of 
``State'' in chapter 1 of the revised title.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The definitions of ``oceanographic research vessel'' and 
``scientific personnel'' in 46 App. U.S.C. 441 are omitted 
because substantially the same definitions are already in 46 
U.S.C. 2101.
    The text of 46 App. U.S.C. 444 is omitted because section 
10101(3) of title 46, which defines ``seaman'' for purposes of 
part G of subtitle II of title 46, already contains an 
exception for scientific personnel. Title 53 of the Revised 
Statutes, referred to 46 App. U.S.C. 444, was previously 
codified principally in part G of subtitle II of title 46.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The definition of ``Secretary'' is omitted as unnecessary 
because the full title is used the first time the term appears 
in each section.
    In the definition of ``merchant marine office'', the words 
``documented vessel'' are substituted for ``vessel . . . which 
is documented under the laws of the United States'' because of 
the definition of ``documented vessel'' in 46 U.S.C. 2101, 
which is being moved to chapter 1 of the revised title.
    In the definition of ``State maritime academy'', the words 
``or territory of the United States'' and ``or territories of 
the United States'' are omitted as unnecessary because of the 
definition of ``State'' in chapter 1 of the revised title.

    In subsection (b)(6)(A), the words ``residents, or sons or 
daughters of residents, of an area or installation'' are 
substituted for ``a resident of the area or installation'' in 
46 App. U.S.C. 1295b(b)(1)(B) and ``sons or daughters of 
residents of any area or installation'' in 46 App. U.S.C. 
1295b(b)(3)(A)(ii) to resolve an inconsistency in the source 
law and to conform to the probable intent of Congress. Although 
46 App. U.S.C. 1295b(b)(1)(B) provides that a nominee must be a 
resident, 46 App. U.S.C. 1295b(b)(3)(A)(ii) allocates positions 
only for sons or daughters of residents.

    In subsection (a), before clause (1), the words ``after the 
date occurring 6 months after October 1, 1981'' are omitted as 
obsolete. In clause (2), the words ``before graduating'' are 
substituted for ``on or before the date of graduation'' to 
eliminate unnecessary words. In clause (5)(A), the words ``or 
territories'' are omitted as unnecessary because of the 
definition of ``State'' in chapter 1 of the revised title.
    In subsection (d), the words ``bring a civil action'' are 
substituted for ``begin court proceedings'' for consistency in 
the revised title and with rule 2 of the Federal Rules of Civil 
Procedure (28 App. U.S.C.).

    The Secretary's authority to provide decorations and medals 
at cost, or to authorize the sale of decorations and medals at 
reasonable prices, is restated to apply only to replacement 
awards because Congress probably did not intend that recipients 
being honored would pay for their decorations and medals.

    In subsection (c)(1)(B), the words ``(as applicable)'' are 
omitted as unnecessary.
    In subsection (d), the words ``certificate described in 
section 9(a) of the Military Selective Service Act (50 App. 
U.S.C. 459(a))'' are substituted for ``certificate referred to 
in paragraph (1) of section 4301(a) of title 38'' because 
section 4301 of title 38 was amended generally by section 2(a) 
of Public Law 103-353, and before the amendment section 
4301(a)(1) referred to a certificate described in section 9(a) 
of the Military Selective Service Act (50 App. U.S.C. 459(a)).

    In subsection (a)(2)(A)(i), the words ``constructed with a 
construction-differential subsidy under title V of the Merchant 
Marine Act, 1936, or constructed with financing or a financing 
guarantee under chapter 537 or 575 of this title'' are 
substituted for ``the construction of which has been financed 
under subchapters V or VII of this chapter, or the construction 
of which has been aided by a mortgage insured under subchapter 
XI of this chapter'' because of the reorganization of the 
material and the omission from the revised title of the 
provisions relating to the construction-differential subsidy 
program.
    Subsection (a)(2)(B) is substituted for the source 
provision to state more directly that a vessel described in the 
source provision is a new vessel for purposes of this chapter.

    In clause (3), the words ``documented vessel'' are

accrued on deposits in the fund'' are substituted for 
``receipts, in the form of interest or otherwise, with respect 
to amounts previously deposited'' for clarity and to eliminate 
unnecessary words.

    In this section, the language about joint regulations in 46 
App. U.S.C. 1161(g) and (h) is omitted as unnecessary because 
of section 53302(b) of the revised title.
    In subsection (a), the words ``(i) two years from the date 
of deposit or the date of any extension thereof which may be 
granted by the Secretary of Transportation pursuant to the 
provisions of subsection (h) of this section, in the case of 
deposits made prior to the date on which these amendatory 
provisions become effective, or'' in 46 App. U.S.C. 1161(g)(1) 
and (2) are omitted as obsolete. In clause (1)(A), the words 
``or, with the approval of the Secretary of Transportation, for 
a part interest in a new vessel or for the reconstruction or 
reconditioning of a new vessel'' are substituted for ``(or in 
the discretion of the Secretary of Transportation, for a part 
interest therein), or, with the approval of the Secretary of 
Transportation, for the reconstruction or reconditioning of a 
new vessel or vessels'' to eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (c), the proviso in 46 App. U.S.C. 1161(h) is 
omitted as obsolete.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Subsection (a) is added for clarity because various 
provisions of the source language for this chapter imply that 
the Secretary is to prescribe regulations individually (except 
for regulations affecting a determination of tax liability). 
See, e.g., 46 App. U.S.C. 1177(a) (last sentence), (f)(1) (last 
sentence), and (l) (last sentence).
    In subsection (b), the words ``not inconsistent with the 
foregoing provisions of this section, as may be necessary or 
appropriate'' are omitted as surplus.

    In paragraph (2), the words ``but shall not be limited to'' 
are omitted as unnecessary.
    In paragraph (4)(B), the words ``become or remain'' are 
substituted for ``be placed under or continued to be'' for 
clarity.
    In paragraph (5)(B)(i), the words ``individual who is a 
citizen of the United States'' are substituted for ``individual 
who is a citizen or national of the United States or a citizen 
of the Northern Mariana Islands'' in 46 App. U.S.C. 1271(k) 
because of the definition of ``citizen of the United States'' 
in chapter 1 of the revised title. Citizens of the Northern 
Mariana Islands became citizens or non-citizen nationals of the 
United States (either of which is a ``citizen of the United 
States'' as defined in chapter 1 of the revised title) when the 
Covenant establishing the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 
Islands became effective on November 4, 1986.
    In paragraph (5)(B)(ii), the words ``corporation, 
partnership, association, or other'' are omitted as suplus. The 
words ``the term `State' as used therein includes any State, 
the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, 
American Samoa, the Virgin Islands of the United States, Guam, 
the Northern Mariana Islands, or any other Commonwealth, 
territory, or possession of the United States'' in 46 App. 
U.S.C. 1271(k) are omitted as unnecessary because of the 
definitions of ``State'' and ``United States'' in chapter 1 of 
the revised title. The definition of ``United States'' in 46 
App. U.S.C. 1271(m) is omitted as unnecessary because of the 
definition of ``United States'' in chapter 1. The words ``and 
nationals of the United States or citizens of the Northern 
Mariana Islands shall be treated as citizens of the United 
States in meeting such ownership requirement'' are omitted as 
unnecessary because of the definition of ``citizen of the 
United States'' in chapter 1 of the revised title.
    In paragraph (8), before clause (A), the words ``instrument 
of indebtedness'' are substituted for ``note, bond, debenture, 
or other evidence of indebtedness'' to eliminate unnecessary 
words. In clause (B), the reference to section 53717 is 
substituted for the reference to 46 App. U.S.C. 1272 because 
the accounts under section 53717 replace the Federal Ship 
Financing Fund. See the explanation for section 53717.

    In subsection (a), before clause (1), the words ``To be 
eligible for a guarantee under this chapter, an obligation must 
aid in any of the following'' are substituted for ``Pursuant to 
the authority granted under section 1273(a) of this Appendix, 
the Secretary, upon such terms as he shall prescribe, may 
guarantee or make a commitment to guarantee, payment of the 
principal of and interest on an obligation which aids in'' to 
eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (a)(2), the words ``citizens of the United 
States'' are substituted for ``citizens or nationals of the 
United States or citizens of the Northern Mariana Islands'' 
because of the definition of ``citizen of the United States'' 
in chapter 1 of the revised title. Citizens of the Northern 
Mariana Islands became citizens or non-citizen nationals of the 
United States (either of which is a ``citizen of the United 
States'' as defined in chapter 1 of the revised title) when the 
Covenant establishing the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 
Islands became effective November 4, 1986.

    During review of this bill, the American Bureau of 
Shipping, through counsel, explained that it disagrees with an 
existing interpretation by the Maritime Administration of 
language restated in subsection (a)(4)(A) of this section, and 
requested the Committee to clarify that this codification 
should not be construed as a ratification of that regulatory 
interpretation. The Committee therefore states that this 
codification should not be construed as an expression of any 
opinion whatsoever concerning any such administrative 
interpretation.
    In subsection (a)(3), the words ``subject to the provisions 
of paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of this section'' are 
omitted as unnecessary.
    In subsection (a)(4)(B), the words ``well equipped, in good 
repair, and in every respect seaworthy and fit for service'' 
are substituted for ``tight, stanch, strong, and well and 
sufficiently tackled, appareled, furnished, and equipped, and 
in every respect seaworthy and in good running condition and 
repair, and in all respects fit for service'' to eliminate 
unnecessary words.
    In subsection (b)(1), the reference to section 503 of the 
Merchant Marine Act, 1936, is substituted for the reference to 
``subchapter V of this chapter'' because the relevant 
characteristics referred to in the text are contained in that 
section and because that section is part of the construction-
differential subsidy program, which is not being restated.

    The Federal Ship Financing Fund which had been created by 
46 App. U.S.C. 1272 is obsolete as a result of the Federal 
Credit Reform Act of 1990 (2 U.S.C. 661 et seq.). This section 
codifies the current requirements and practices for the 
management of funds under this chapter, based on the 
requirements of that Act.

    In subsection (a), the words ``upon such terms as he shall 
prescribe'' are omitted as unnecessary because section 53702(a) 
of the revised title provides the Secretary authority to 
prescribe the terms. The text of 46 App. U.S.C. 1279c(a)(1) is 
omitted as obsolete.
    In subsection (f)(1), the words ``account established under 
section 53717(b)(1) of this title'' are substituted for 
``Federal Ship Financing Fund'' because the accounts under 
section 53717 replace the Federal Ship Financing Fund. See the 
explanation for section 53717.
    In subsection (f)(2)(B), the word ``conversion'' is 
substituted for ``conversional'' to correct an apparent error.

    In subsection (f), the source provides that the authority 
to issue commitments to guarantee obligations for eligible 
export vessels expires after the later of three events. The 
first event, which is ``(A) the 5th anniversary of the date on 
which the Secretary publishes final regulations setting forth 
the application procedures for the issuance of commitments to 
guarantee obligations for eligible export vessels'', is omitted 
because the final regulations were published on September 16, 
1994. See 59 Fed. Reg. 47548. The second event, which is ``(B) 
the last day of any 5-year period in which funding and 
guarantee authority for obligations for eligible export vessels 
have been continuously available'', is omitted because that 
date was November 11, 1998, five years after enactment of the 
Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 1994 (Pub. L. 103-
139, Nov. 11, 1993, 107 Stat. 1418).

    In subsection (a)(2)(A)(i), the words ``(as defined in 
title 1)'' are omitted as unnecessary because chapter 1 of the 
revised title contains a title-wide definition of ``vessel'' 
that incorporates the definition in title 1, United States 
Code.
    In subsection (b), the words ``and subject to the terms the 
Secretary shall be prescribe'' are omitted as unnecessary 
because section 53702(a) of the revised title provides the 
Secretary authority to prescribe the terms. The words ``Only a 
private shipyard is eligible to receive a guarantee'' are 
substituted for 46 App. U.S.C. 1280a to eliminate unnecessary 
words.

    In subsection (a), in clause (1), the words ``as defined in 
section 1244 of this Appendix'' are omitted because the 
definition of ``foreign commerce or trade'' in chapter 1 of the 
revised title applies without having to say so specifically. 
Clause (6) is substituted for 46 App. U.S.C. 1274a(b)(3) to 
improve the organization of the source provisions.
    In subsection (b)(2), the words ``by rule, regulation, or 
procedure'' are omitted as unnecessary and for consistency with 
section 53709(d) of the revised title.
    In subsections (c) and (e), the language concerning the 
Vessel Replacement Guarantee Fund and the Federal Ship 
Financing Fund is omitted as obsolete. See the explanation for 
section 53717.

the judgment will be payable without regard to the limitations 
contained in section 1242-1 of this Appendix, although the 
excess of any amounts advanced on account of just compensation 
over the amount of the court judgment will be required to be 
refunded'' are omitted as obsolete because the section referred 
to, which was from the Department of Commerce and Related 
Agencies Appropriation Act, 1959 (Pub. L. 85-469, 72 Stat. 
231), has been omitted from the United States Code as obsolete.

words ``From and after February 1, 1922'' and ``not covered 
thereby on June 5, 1920'' are omitted as obsolete. The

    In subsection (a)(1), the words ``(as defined in section 
2101 of the [sic] title 46)'' are omitted because the 
definition of ``State'' is being moved to chapter 1 and will 
apply to the entire title.
    In subsection (b), the words ``may not provide any part of 
the transportation of'' are substituted for ``No . . . shall be 
transported'' and ``or for any part of the transportation'' 
because of the reorganization of the language. The words 
``including Districts, Territories, and possessions thereof'' 
are omitted because of the definition of ``United States'' in 
chapter 1 of the revised title. The words ``to which the 
coastwise laws apply'' are substituted for ``embraced within 
the coastwise laws'' for consistency with section 55101. The 
words ``is wholly owned by citizens of the United States for 
purposes of engaging in the coastwise trade'' are substituted 
for ``owned by persons who are citizens of the United States'', 
and the words ``has been issued a certificate of documentation 
with a coastwise endorsement under chapter 121'' are 
substituted for ``documented under the laws of the United 
States'', for clarity and consistency in the revised title. The 
words ``or is exempt from documentation but would otherwise be 
eligible for such a certificate and endorsement'' are added for 
consistency with section 12102 as revised by the bill. The 
requirement that the vessel be built in the United States is 
omitted from this section for consistency with the requirements 
for a coastwise endorsement, which also require that the vessel 
be built in the United States except in certain circumstances. 
The words ``or vessels to which the privilege of engaging in 
the coastwise trade is extended by section 808 of this Appendix 
or section 22 of this Act'' are omitted because the relevant 
portion of section 808, and section 22, have been repealed.
    In subsection (c), the words ``any person'' are substituted 
for ``any consignor, seller, owner, importer, consignee, agent, 
or other person or persons'' to eliminate unnecessary words.

    In subsection (a), the definition of ``certificate'' is

(2) to avoid repeating the substance of the definition twice in 
the section.
    In subsection (b), the words ``Notwithstanding any other 
provision of law'' and ``directly or by way of a foreign port'' 
are omitted as unnecessary.

    In subsection (a), the words ``non-self-propelled'' are 
omitted as unnecessary because of the definition of ``barge'' 
in chapter 1 of the revised title. The words ``between points

barge is under foreign registry or qualified to engage in the 
coastwise trade'' are omitted as surplus.

    In subsection (a), before clause (1), the words ``by 
vessels of the United States not qualified to engage in the

omitted as unnecessary. In clause (4), the words ``by the 
Secretary of the Treasury'' are omitted as unnecessary because 
the section referred to provides who administers it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (a), the words ``coastwise endorsement under

various sections in revised chapter 121.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Subsection (a)(1) is substituted for ``(1) the vessel meets 
the requirements of section 883 of this Appendix and sections 
802 and 803 of this Appendix for engaging in the coastwise 
trade'' for consistency with other sections of the revised 
title and to eliminate unnecessary words. Section 883 requires 
(among other things) that the vessel be owned by citizens of 
the United States, and section 802 contains the requirements 
for certain entities to qualify as citizens. Those requirements 
are restated in section 50501 which applies to this section. 
Section 883 also requires that the vessel be built in and 
documented under the laws of the United States. Those latter 
two requirements are covered by subsection (a)(3). Note that 
the build requirement is a requirement for a coastwise 
endorsement.
    In subsection (a)(3), the words ``or is exempt from 
documentation but would otherwise be eligible for such a 
certificate and endorsement'' are added for consistency with 
section 12102 as revised by the bill.

    The words ``or place'' are omitted as surplus. The words 
``as defined in the Presidential Proclamation of March 10,

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (a), the words ``or to do any part of such 
towing'' and ``other than a vessel in distress'' in the source 
provision are made applicable to all the towing described in 
subsection (b) for clarity and consistency. In clause (1), the 
words ``wholly owned by citizens of the United States for 
purposes of engaging in the coastwise trade'' are substituted 
for ``wholly owned by a person who is a citizen of the United 
States within the meaning of the laws respecting the 
documentation of vessels'' for consistency in this chapter.
    Subsection (a)(2) is substituted for ``having in force a 
certificate of documentation issued under section 12106 of 
title 46'' for consistency in this chapter and with section 
12102(b) as revised by the bill.
    In subsection (b)(1), the words ``in the United States to 
which the coastwise laws apply'' are substituted for ``in the 
United States, its Territories or possessions, embraced within 
the coastwise laws of the United States'' because of the 
definition of ``United States'' in chapter 1 of the revised 
title and because of section 55101 of the revised title.
    In subsection (b)(3), the words ``or place'' are omitted as 
surplus. The words ``as defined in the Presidential 
Proclamation of March 10, 1983'' are omitted because 
``exclusive economic zone'' is defined in chapter 1 of the 
revised title.
    In subsection (c), the penalty amounts reflect the 
adjustment for inflation pursuant to the Federal Civil 
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 (28 U.S.C. 2461 
note). See 19 C.F.R. Sec. 4.92 (2004). In paragraph (2), the 
words ``which sum may be recovered by way of libel or suit'' 
are omitted as surplus.
    The text of 46 App. U.S.C. 316(b) is omitted as unnecessary 
because of the definition of ``person'' in section 1 of title 
1.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (a), the words ``(as that term is defined in 
section 2101 of title 46, United States Code)'' are omitted 
because the definition of ``vessel of the United States'' is 
being moved from section 2101 to chapter 1 of the revised title 
and will apply title-wide.

    The words ``company or corporation'' after ``foreign

having a coastwise endorsement'' are substituted for ``such 
vessel'' (referring to a vessel described in 46 App. U.S.C. 
316(a)) for clarity and because of the reorganization of the 
source material in the revised title. The words ``However, the 
foreign railroad is subject to the same restrictions imposed by 
law on a vessel of the United States entering a port of the 
United States from the same foreign country'' are substituted 
for ``without being subject to any other or different 
restrictions than those imposed by law on any vessel of the 
United States entering ports of the United States from ports in 
the same foreign country'' to eliminate unnecessary words. The 
words ``Except as otherwise authorized by this chapter'' are 
substituted for ``except as authorized by section 883 of this 
Appendix'' because of the reorganization of the source material 
in the revised title. The words ``its Territories or 
possessions'' are omitted as unnecessary because of the 
definition of ``United States'' in chapter 1 of the revised 
title.

    This section codifies the Joint Resolution of March 26, 
1934 (ch. 90, 48 Stat. 500) (also commonly known as Public 
Resolution 17). The codification of this provision is not 
intended to change its status as a ``Sense of Congress'' 
provision in any way. The words ``Reconstruction Finance 
Corporation or'' are omitted as obsolete because the 
Reconstruction Finance Corporation was abolished by section 6 
of Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1957 (5 App. U.S.C.).

    In subsection (a), the text of 46 App. U.S.C. 808a is 
omitted as unnecessary. In clause (1), the words ``owned by a 
citizen of the United States'' are omitted as unnecessary 
because ownership by a citizen is a requirement for 
documentation. See section 12103 as revised by the bill.
    In subsection (c), before clause (1), the words 
``Notwithstanding any other provision of this subtitle, the 
Merchant Marine Act, 1936, or any contract with the Secretary 
made under this subtitle or that Act'' are substituted for 
``Notwithstanding subsection (c)(2) of this section, the 
Merchant Marine Act, 1936 [46 App. U.S.C. 1101 et seq.], or any 
contract entered into with the Secretary of Transportation 
under that Act'' because the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, is 
restated principally in this subtitle, but other provisions of 
that Act are being neither restated nor repealed.

    In this section, the words ``facility for building or 
repairing vessels'' are substituted for ``shipyard, dry dock, 
shipbuilding or ship-repairing plant or facility'' (or similar 
language) to eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (a)(1), the words ``transfer to'' are omitted 
as surplus. The words ``Territory, District, or possession 
thereof'' are omitted as unnecessary because of the definition 
of ``State'' in chapter 1 of the revised title.
    In subsection (a)(3), the words ``instrument of 
indebtedness'' are substituted for ``bond, note, or other 
evidence of indebtedness'' to eliminate unnecessary words. The 
words ``right, title, or'' are omitted as unnecessary.
    In subsection (a)(5), the words ``or the majority of the 
voting power'' are omitted as covered by ``controlling 
interest''.
    In subsection (b)(1), before clause (A), the words ``and 
only if'' are added for clarity because the Secretary is 
required to disapprove a trustee that ceases to meet the 
specified conditions.
    Subsections (c) and (d) are substituted for the source 
provisions to eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (e)(1), the words ``guilty of a misdemeanor'' 
are omitted, and the words ``fined under title 18'' are 
substituted for ``punishable by a fine of not more than 
$5000'', because of chapter 227 of title 18.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The words ``or other watercraft'' are omitted because of 
the definition of ``vessel'' in chapter 1 of the revised title. 
The words ``The termination of any emergency so declared shall 
be announced by a further proclamation by the President'' are 
omitted as superseded by the National Emergencies Act (50 
U.S.C. 1601 et seq.).

    In subsection (a), the words ``requisitioned for use but 
not ownership under this chapter'' are substituted for ``taken 
and used under authority of this section, but the ownership 
thereof is not required by the United States'' to eliminate 
unnecessary words. The word ``requisition'' is substituted for 
``taking'', and the word ``vessel'' is substituted for ``such 
property'', for consistency.
    Subsection (b) is added because the provisions about 
disputed compensation, for both charter use and other takings, 
are consolidated in section 56304 of the revised title to avoid 
repetition.

    In this section, the words ``encumbrance'' and 
``encumbrances'' are substituted for ``any valid claim by way 
of mortgage or maritime claim or attachment lien'' and ``any 
valid claim by way of mortgage or maritime lien or attachment 
lien'' to eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (b)(1), the words ``The Secretary shall 
publish notice of the creation of the fund in the Federal 
Register'' are added for clarity, based on language barring a 
civil action not brought within 6 months after publication of 
such a notice.
    In subsection (c)(1), the words ``Within 6 months after 
publication of notice under subsection (b)'' are substituted 
for ``prior to June 30, 1943, or within six months after the 
first such deposit with the Treasurer and publication of notice 
thereof in the Federal Register, whichever date is later'' for 
clarity and to eliminate obsolete language.
    Subsection (c)(3) is substituted for ``and such suit shall 
be commenced in the manner provided by section 742 of this 
Appendix and service of process shall be made in the manner 
therein provided by service upon the United States attorney and 
by mailing by registered mail to the Attorney General and the 
Secretary of Transportation and due notice shall under order of 
the court be given to all interested persons'' because the 
relevant sentences in 46 App. U.S.C. 742 were struck by an 
amendment in 1996. See generally Henderson v. United States, 
517 U.S. 654, 116 S. Ct. 1638 (1996).
    In subsection (c)(4), the words ``any decree in said suit 
shall be paid out of the first and all subsequent deposits of 
compensation'' and ``any decree shall be subject to appeal and 
revision as now provided in other cases of admiralty and 
maritime jurisdiction'' are omitted as surplus.

    In subsection (a), the words ``vessel acquired by the

of this title'' are substituted for ``except as provided for in 
subsections (g) and (i) of this section. This limitation shall 
not affect the rights of the Secretary of Transportation to 
dispose of a vessel as provided in other sections of this 
subchapter or in subchapters VII or XI of this chapter'' 
because of the restatement.

    In subsection (a), the words ``vessel owned by the Maritime 
Administration'' are substituted for ``vessel transferred to 
the Maritime Administration of the Department of Transportation 
by section 1112 of this Appendix, or hereafter acquired'' to 
eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (b), the words ``The sale of a vessel under 
section (a) shall be made on the basis of competitive sealed 
bids, after an appraisal and due advertisement. The purchaser 
does not have to be a citizen of the United States.'' are 
substituted for ``after appraisement and due advertisement, and 
upon competitive sealed bids, either to citizens of the United 
States or to aliens'' for clarity. The words ``provide a surety 
bond, with a surety approved by the Secretary, to ensure that'' 
are substituted for ``enter into an undertaking with sureties 
approved by the Secretary of Transportation that'' for clarity.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (a), before clause (1), the words 
``Notwithstanding section 1160(j) of this title'' are omitted 
as unnecessary because section 46 App. U.S.C. 1160(j) is 
restated in section 57101 of the revised title and that section 
contains an exception which includes this section. In clause 
(1), the words ``Commonwealth, or possession of the United 
States'' and ``or the District of Columbia'' are omitted as 
unnecessary because of the definition of ``State'' in chapter 1 
of the revised title.

separate approval from the Secretary to transfer the vessel to 
a person not a citizen of the United States'' are substituted 
for ``Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 808 and 835 of 
this Appendix'' for clarity and to avoid the cross references.

                                                        Stat. 217.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (a), the words ``and to pay for the same out 
of his construction fund'' are omitted as obsolete because the 
construction fund established under 46 App. U.S.C. 1116 was 
impliedly abolished by 46 App. U.S.C. 1119, as amended.
    In subsection (b), the words ``less depreciation based on a 
25-year life for a dry-cargo or passenger vessel and a 20-year 
life for a tanker or other liquid bulk carrier vessel'' are 
substituted for ``less depreciation based upon a twenty-five 
year life expectancy of the vessel'' because of section 9 of 
Public Law 86-518 (June 12, 1960, 74 Stat. 217), which provided 
that ``Nothing in any amendment made by this Act [including 
section 1 substituting `twenty-five' for `twenty' in 46 App. 
U.S.C. 1125] shall operate or be interpreted to change from 
twenty to twenty-five years the provisions of the Merchant 
Marine Act, 1936, as amended, relating to the commercial 
expectancy or period of depreciation of any tanker or other 
liquid bulk carrier.''

    In clause (1)(A), the words ``or is purchased under section 
1204 of this Appendix, as amended, by the person turning in an 
obsolete vessel under this section'' are omitted because the 
purchase authority under 46 App. U.S.C. 1204 was impliedly 
repealed by section 14 of the Merchant Ship Sales Act of 1946 
(50 App. U.S.C. 1735 note).

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (a), the words ``As soon as practicable after 
June 29, 1936, and continuing thereafter'' are omitted as 
obsolete. The words ``However, the Secretary shall first 
determine that those routes are not being adequately served'' 
are substituted for ``Provided, That such needs are not being 
adequately served'' for clarity and because provisos are 
disfavored in modern drafting.
    In subsection (b)(1), the words ``in the manner provided in 
section 7 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1920 [46 App. U.S.C. 
866], and in strict accordance with the provisions of section 5 
of said Act'' are omitted because section 5 of that Act was 
repealed in 1988, and section 7 is being repealed as obsolete 
by this bill without being restated.

    Subsection (d) is substituted for ``less depreciation based 
on a twenty-five year life'' because of section 9 of Public Law 
86-518 (June 12, 1960, 74 Stat. 217), which provided that 
``Nothing in any amendment made by this Act [including section 
1 substituting `twenty-five' for `twenty' in 46 App. U.S.C. 
1195] shall operate or be interpreted to change from twenty to 
twenty-five years the provisions of the Merchant Marine Act, 
1936, as amended, relating to the commercial expectancy or 
period of depreciation of any tanker or other liquid bulk 
carrier.''

    Subsection (b)(2) is substituted for ``Upon the basis of a

Public Law 86-518 (June 12, 1960, 74 Stat. 217), which provided 
that ``Nothing in any amendment made by this Act [including 
section 5 substituting `twenty-five' for `twenty' in 46 App. 
U.S.C. 1204] shall operate or be interpreted to change from 
twenty to twenty-five years the provisions of the Merchant 
Marine Act, 1936, as amended, relating to the commercial 
expectancy or period of depreciation of any tanker or other 
liquid bulk carrier.''
    In subsection (c), in clauses (1) and (4), references to 
the useful life specified in subsection (b)(2) are substituted 
for references to the twenty-five year useful life for the 
reason stated in explaining subsection (b)(2).

    In this chapter, references to the ``operating-differential 
subsidy program'' are substituted for references to ``part A of 
subchapter VI of this chapter'', meaning 46 App. U.S.C. 1171-
1185a, because part A of subchapter VI contains the operating-
differential subsidy program and under 46 App. U.S.C. 1185a 
that program is being phased out. Consequently, part A is being 
omitted from the revised title and will instead appear as a 
note under section 53101, except for 46 App. U.S.C. 1177 and 
1177-l which are restated in chapter 535. References to 
``chapter 575 of this title'' are substituted for references to 
``subchapter VII of this chapter'', meaning 46 App. U.S.C. 
1191-1205, because those sections are restated in chapter 575.
    In subsection (b), the words ``A person may apply to the 
Secretary of Transportation for a waiver of subsection (a). 
Before deciding on the waiver, the Secretary shall give the 
applicant and other interested persons an opportunity for a 
hearing.'' are substituted for ``without the written permission 
of the Secretary of Transportation. Every person, firm, or 
corporation having any interest in such application shall be 
permitted to intervene and the Secretary of Transportation 
shall give a hearing to the applicant and the intervenors.'' 
for clarity.
    In subsection (c), the words ``domestic intercoastal or 
coastwise trade'' are substituted for ``domestic, intercoastal, 
or coastwise trade'' for consistency in the section.
    In subsection (d), the words ``and whosoever shall violate 
this provision shall be guilty of a misdemeanor'' are omitted 
because section 3559 of title 18 provides for the 
classification of offenses. See the revision notes for section 
58109 of the revised title.

    The words ``contractor under the operating-differential

receiving an operating-differential subsidy'' are substituted 
for ``contractor under part A of subchapter VI of this chapter

    The words ``in force under this chapter'' and ``forthwith''

    In subsection (b), the words ``United States Government'' 
are substituted for ``United States or any agency of the United 
States'' for consistency and to eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (c), the words ``bring a civil action'' are 
substituted for ``sue'' for consistency in the revised title. 
The words ``without respect to the amount in controversy'' are 
omitted because section 1331 of title 28 no longer contains a 
requirement of any particular amount in controversy for 
jurisdiction of civil actions arising under the laws of the 
United States. The words ``If the person prevails'' are added 
for clarity.

The words ``convicted of violating section 58101(d), 58103, or 
58105 of this title'' are substituted for ``found guilty of any 
act or acts declared in this chapter to constitute a 
misdemeanor'' because the sections referred to restate the 
provisions which declare certain acts to be misdemeanors and 
because the restatement of those provisions does not use the 
word ``misdemeanor''. The words ``in any district court of the 
United States'' are omitted as unnecessary. The words ``shall 
be fined under title 18, imprisoned for at least one year but 
not more than five years, or both'' are substituted for ``shall 
be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000, or by 
imprisonment for not less than one year or more than five 
years, or by both fine and imprisonment'' because of chapter 
227 of title 18. See 18 U.S.C. 3559 (which classifies offenses 
based on the maximum term of imprisonment) and 3571 (which 
establishes fines based on those classifications).
    In subsection (b), the word ``organization'' is substituted 
for ``corporation'' to reflect the probable intent that the 
penalty should apply to other organizations in addition to 
corporations. The words ``convicted of committing an act 
prohibited by this subtitle'' are substituted for ``found 
guilty of any act or acts declared in this chapter to be 
unlawful'' for clarity and consistency. The words ``shall be 
fined under title 18'' are substituted for ``shall be punished 
by a fine of not more than $25,000'' for consistency with 
subsection (a).
    In subsection (c), the words ``An individual or 
organization convicted of violating a section referred to in 
subsection (a)'' are substituted for ``any person or 
corporation convicted of a misdemeanor under the provisions of 
this chapter'' for consistency in the section. Reference to the 
Federal Maritime Commission is omitted because the Commission 
does not administer any of the provisions referred to.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (a), the Secretary of Homeland Security is 
substituted for the Commissioner of Customs because the 
functions of the Customs Service and of the Secretary of the 
Treasury relating thereto were transferred to the Secretary of 
Homeland Security by section 403(1) of the Homeland Security 
Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-296, 116 Stat. 2178). The functions of 
the Commissioner of Customs previously were vested in the 
Secretary of the Treasury under section 321(c) of title 31. For 
prior related transfers of functions, see the transfer of 
functions note under 46 App. U.S.C. 163. The word ``shall'' is 
substituted for ``is authorized and directed to'' for 
consistency in the revised title and to eliminate unnecessary 
words. The word ``port'' is substituted for ``seaports'' for 
consistency in the revised title. The word ``secured'' is 
substituted for ``placed in security'' to eliminate unnecessary 
words. The words ``from time to time'', ``properly'', and ``and 
for that purpose to employ any of the officers of the United 
States Customs Service'' are omitted as unnecessary.
    In subsection (b), the words ``fined under title 18, 
imprisoned for not more than 6 months, or both'' are 
substituted for ``subject to a penalty of not more than $100 or 
imprisonment not to exceed six months, or both'' because of 
chapter 227 of title 18. The words ``in the discretion of the 
court'' are omitted as unnecessary.
    In subsection (c), the words ``section 2279 of title 18'' 
are substituted for ``section forty-six hundred and six of the 
Revised Statutes'' in the Act of Mar. 31, 1900, because R.S. 
Sec. 4606 (formerly classified to 46 U.S.C. 708 (1946 ed.)) was 
replaced by 18 U.S.C. 2279 in the codification of title 18 by 
the Act of June 25, 1948 (ch. 645, 62 Stat. 683). The words 
``section 9 of act August 2, 1882 (22 Stat. 189)'' are omitted 
because that law was repealed by section 4(b) of Public Law 98-
89 (Aug. 26, 1983, 97 Stat. 600).

    The words ``vessel documented under chapter 121 of this 
title'' are substituted for ``vessel, recorded in pursuance of 
title 48 of the Revised Statutes'', and the words ``certificate 
of documentation'' are substituted for ``certificate of such 
record'', for consistency with chapter 121 of title 46. The 
words ``in charge'' are substituted for ``having the command or 
charge'' to eliminate unnecessary words. The words ``customs 
officer'' are substituted for ``collector of the district'' 
because the office of collector of customs was abolished by 
Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1965. For additional requirements 
relating to entry of vessels, see 19 U.S.C. 1434.

documentation'' and ``certificate'' are substituted for 
``register'' for consistency with chapter 121 of the revised 
title. In clause (2), the words ``sold or'' are omitted as 
unnecessary. The words ``owned only by citizens of the United 
States'' are substituted for ``no foreign subject or citizen 
has . . . any share, by way of trust, confidence, or 
otherwise'' for consistency in the revised title and to 
eliminate unnecessary words.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In this section, the words ``certificate of documentation'' 
are substituted for ``register'' and ``papers'' for consistency 
with chapter 121 of title 46. The words ``sea-letter, and 
Mediterranean passport'' in R.S. Sec. 4309 are omitted because 
the use of those documents was discontinued by Presidential 
proclamation on April 10, 1815. The words ``consular officer'' 
are substituted for ``consul or vice consul'' for consistency 
with 22 U.S.C. 4205. The words ``commercial agent, or vice 
commercial agent'' in R.S. Sec. Sec. 4309 and 4310 are omitted 
because of the abolition of the grade of commercial agent by 
the Act of Apr. 5, 1906 (ch. 1366, 34 Stat. 99).
    In subsection (b), the words ``or commander'' are omitted 
as unnecessary and for consistency in the section.
    In subsection (c), the word ``failing'' is substituted for 
``refuses or neglects'' to eliminate unnecessary words. The 
words ``liable to the United States Government for a civil 
penalty'' are substituted for ``liable to a penalty'' for 
clarity and for consistency in the revised title.

    In this section, the tax rates for fiscal years 1991 
through 2002 are omitted as obsolete.
    In subsection (a)(1), the words ``West Indies Islands'' are 
substituted for ``West India Islands'' to conform to current 
geographic terminology. The word ``Newfoundland'' is omitted 
because Newfoundland is now part of Canada.
    In subsection (a)(2), the reference to the definitions in 
section 2101 is confined to ``recreational vessel'' because the 
definitions of ``vessel of the United States'' and ``barge'' 
are being moved to chapter 1 of the revised title and being 
made applicable title-wide.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsections (a) and (b), the words ``Regardless of 
whether a tax is imposed under section 60301 of this title'' 
are added for clarity. See 19 C.F.R. Sec. 4.20(c) (2003).
    In subsection (a)(1), the word ``owned'' is substituted for 
``belonging'' for consistency in the revised title.
    In subsection (a)(3), the words ``vessel of the United 
States'' are substituted for ``vessel'' for clarity.
    In subsection (c), the words ``The tax of 50 cents per 
ton'' are substituted for ``no such duty'' in 46 App. U.S.C. 
121 to conform more closely to the language in section 1 of the 
Act of March 4, 1915 (ch. 171, 38 Stat. 1193). The word 
``documented'' is substituted for ``registered'' for 
consistency in the revised title.
    The words ``In addition to the tonnage-duty above imposed, 
there shall be paid a tax, at the rate of thirty cents per ton, 
on vessels which shall be entered at any custom-house within 
the United States from any foreign port or place'' in R.S. 
Sec. 4219 were omitted from the original codification of R.S. 
Sec. 4219 in 46 U.S.C. 121 (1926 edition, 44 Stat. 1467). A 
codification note which first appeared in the 1958 edition of 
the United States Code for 46 U.S.C. 121 says that the words 
apparently were omitted as superseded and repealed by section 
14 of the Act of June 26, 1884 (ch. 121, 23 Stat. 57), as 
amended by section 11 of the Act of June 19, 1886 (ch. 421, 24 
Stat. 81), and section 1 of the Act of April 4, 1888 (ch. 61,

    In subsection (a), the word ``tax'' is substituted for 
``duty'', and the word ``imposed'' is substituted for ``levied 
and collected'', for consistency in the chapter. The words ``in 
the same manner'' are omitted as unnecessary.
    In subsection (b)(1), before clause (A), the words ``does 
not apply to'' are substituted for ``shall not be deemed to 
operate upon'' to eliminate unnecessary words. The word 
``unregistered'' is omitted as unnecessary. The word ``only'' 
is added for clarity and for consistency in the revised title. 
In clause (A), the words ``owned only by citizens of the United 
States'' are substituted for ``American property'' for 
consistency. In clause (B)(ii), the words ``sold or'' are 
omitted as unnecessary. The words ``owned only by citizens of 
the United States'' are substituted for ``no foreign subject or 
citizen has . . . any share, by way of trust, confidence, or 
otherwise'' to eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (b)(2), clause (A) is substituted for ``if 
the same shall be at the port at which the owner or any of the 
part owners reside'', and clause (B) is substituted for ``If 
the owner or any part owner does not reside at the port or 
place at which such vessel shall enter, then the master shall 
make oath to the like effect'', to eliminate unnecessary words.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The words ``This chapter and chapter 605 of this title'' 
are substituted for ``title 48 of the Revised Statutes'' in 46 
App. U.S.C. 135 because the provisions of title 48 of the 
Revised Statutes which are still alive and relate to tonnage or 
other duties on vessels are restated in these two chapters. 
Although these two chapters restate other provisions which are 
not from title 48 of the Revised Statutes, expansion of the 
reference to include those provisions is done for consistency.

    In this section, the word ``goods'' is substituted for 
``goods, wares, or merchandise'' to eliminate unnecessary 
words.
    In subsection (a)(2), before subclause (A), the words 
``owned only by'' are substituted for ``truly and wholly belong 
to'' for consistency in the revised title.
    In subsection (b), the words ``or goods, wares, or 
merchandise imported in vessels'' are omitted as unnecessary 
because of the wording of subsection (a) of the revised 
section. The word ``restriction'' is substituted for 
``regulation'' as being more appropriate.
    Subsection (d) is substituted for ``All goods, wares, or 
merchandise imported contrary to this section or section 128 of 
this title, and the vessel wherein the same shall be imported, 
together with her cargo, tackle, apparel, and furniture, shall 
be forfeited to the United States; and such goods, wares, or 
merchandise, ship, or vessel, and cargo shall be liable to be 
seized, prosecuted, and condemned in like manner, and under the 
same regulations, restrictions, and provisions as have been 
heretofore established for the recovery, collection, 
distribution, and remission of forfeitures to the United States 
by the several revenue laws'' to eliminate unnecessary words.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In this section, the word ``goods'' is substituted for 
``goods, wares, or merchandise'' to eliminate unnecessary 
words.
    In subsection (a)(1), clauses (A) and (B) are substituted 
for ``but this discriminating duty shall not apply to goods, 
wares, or merchandise which shall be imported in vessels not of 
the United States entitled at the time of such importation by 
treaty or convention or Act of Congress to be entered in the 
ports of the United States on payment of the same duties as 
shall then be payable on goods, wares, and merchandise imported 
in vessels of the United States, nor to goods, wares, and 
merchandise imported in a vessel owned by citizens of the 
United States but not a vessel of the United States if such 
vessel after entering an American port shall, before leaving 
the same, be documented under chapter 121 of title 46'' to 
eliminate unnecessary words.
    Subsection (a)(2) is substituted for ``or which being the 
production or manufacture of any foreign country not contiguous 
to the United States, shall come into the United States from 
such contiguous country'' and ``but this discriminating duty 
shall not apply . . . nor to such products or manufactures as 
shall be imported from such contiguous countries in the usual 
course of strictly retail trade'' to eliminate unnecessary 
words.
    Subsection (b) is substituted for the source provision for 
consistency with section 60501(d) and to eliminate unnecessary 
words. See note for section 60501(d) in this report.

    The Secretary of Homeland Security is substituted for the 
Commissioner of Customs because the functions of the Customs 
Service and of the Secretary of the Treasury relating thereto 
were transferred to the Secretary of Homeland Security by 
section 403(1) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L.

    In this section, the words ``vessels of the United States'' 
are used instead of both ``vessels of the United States'' and 
``American vessels'' for consistency in the section. The words 
``vessels of a foreign country'' and ``vessels of that 
country'' are substituted for ``foreign country whose 
vessels'', ``national vessels'', ``vessels of such foreign 
country'', and similar references, for consistency. The words 
``ports and waters'' and ``ports or waters'' are substituted 
for ``ports'', ``harbors, ports, or waters'', and ``ports, 
harbors, or waters'' for consistency.
    In subsection (a), before clause (1), the words ``on 
receiving satisfactory information of the continuance of such 
discriminations against any vessels of the United States'' are 
omitted as unnecessary. In clause (1), the words ``given the 
same commercial privileges'' are substitued for ``placed on the 
same footing'' for clarity and for consistency in the section.
    Subsection (b) is substituted for ``excluding . . . from 
the exercise of such commercial privileges in the ports of the 
United States as are denied to American vessels in the ports of 
such foreign country, all vessels of such foreign country of a 
similar character to the vessels of the United States thus 
discriminated against'' for clarity and to eliminate 
unnecessary words.
    Subsection (c) is substituted for ``on and after such time 
as he may indicate'' for clarity.
    Subsection (d)(1) is substituted for ``and on and after the 
date named in such proclamation for it to take effect, if the 
master, officer, or agent of any vessel of such foreign country 
excluded by said proclamation from the exercise of any 
commercial privileges shall do any act prohibited by said 
proclamation in the ports, harbors, or waters of the United 
States for or on account of such vessel, such vessel, and its 
rigging, tackle, furniture, and boats, and all the goods on 
board, shall be liable to seizure and to forfeiture to the 
United States'' for consistency in the revised title and to 
eliminate unnecessary words.
    Subsection (d)(2) is substituted for ``any person opposing 
any officer of the United States in the enforcement of this 
section, or aiding and abetting any other person in such 
opposition, shall forfeit $800, and shall be guilty of a 
misdemeanor, and, upon conviction, shall be liable to 
imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years'' because of 
chapter 227 of title 18.

    In this section, the words ``fishermen or fishing vessels

substituted for ``are or then lately have been denied or 
abridged'' to eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (a), the words before clause (1) are

ports of the United States contrary to law may be enforced and 
proceeded upon. Every person who shall violate any of the 
provisions of this section, or such proclamation of the

misdemeanor, and, on conviction thereof, shall be punished by a 
fine not exceeding $1,000, or by imprisonment for a term not 
exceeding two years, or by both said punishments, in the 
discretion of the court.'' for consistency in the revised title

is being moved to chapter 1 of the revised title and will apply 
generally throughout the title.

were carried out by the Coast Guard, and its functions have

    In subsection (b)(2), before clause (A), the words 
``individual who is a citizen of the United States'' are 
substituted for ``a citizen or national of the United States'' 
because of the definition of ``citizen of the United States'' 
in chapter 1 of the revised title. The words ``or a territory, 
commonwealth, or possession of the United States'' and ``the 
District of Columbia, or any territory, commonwealth, or 
possession of the United States'' are omitted as unnecessary 
because of the definition of ``State'' in chapter 1 of the 
revised title.
    In subsection (d)(1)(B), the word ``authorized'' is 
substituted for ``empowered'' for consistency with subsection 
(b)(2)(B).

omitted because they are restated in subsection (c).
    In subsection (b), before clause (1), the Secretary of 
Homeland Security is substituted for the Commissioner of 
Customs because the functions of the Customs Service and of the 
Secretary of the Treasury relating thereto were transferred to 
the Secretary of Homeland Security by section 403(1) of the 
Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-296, 116 Stat. 
2178). The functions of the Commissioner of Customs previously

authorized use'' are omitted as unnecessary.
    In subsection (b)(1), the words ``(including a Bowaters 
corporation under section 12118 of this title)'' are added 
because the source for section 12118 (46 App. U.S.C. 883-1) 
provides that a corporation meeting the requirements of that 
section is also a citizen of the United States under 46 App. 
U.S.C. 316, restated in part in this section.
    Subsection (b)(2) is substituted for ``documented under the 
laws of the United States or numbered pursuant to the Act of 
June 7, 1918, as amended (46 U.S.C. 288)'' to refer to the 
current provisions on documentation and numbering.
    In subsection (c), the words ``authorized by treaty, 
including'' are added because the words ``authorized by a 
treaty'' are omitted from subsection (a).

    In the definition of ``international transport'', clauses 
(A) and (B) are substituted for 46 App. U.S.C. 1501(d)(1)-(3) 
to eliminate unnecessary words.
    In the definition of ``owner'', the words ``includes the 
lessee or bailee of a container if a written lease or bailment 
provides for the lessee or bailee to exercise the owner's 
responsibility for maintaining and examining the container''

if a written lease or bailment provides for the lessee or 
bailee to exercise the owner's responsibility for maintaining 
and examining the container, the lessee or bailee of a 
container, to the extent such agreement so provides'' to 
eliminate unnecessary words.
    The definition of ``Secretary'' is omitted because a 
complete reference to the appropriate Secretary is used the 
first time the Secretary is named in each section. Throughout 
this chapter, the phrase ``Secretary of the department in which 
the Coast Guard is operating'' is substituted for ``Secretary 
of Transportation'' because the Coast Guard has been 
transferred to the Department of Homeland Security (except when 
operating as a service in the Navy) by section 888 of the 
Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-296, 116 Stat.

    The definition of ``United States'' is omitted because 
``United States'' is defined in chapter 1 of the revised title. 
The definitions of ``new container'' and ``existing container'' 
are omitted as obsolete.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In subsection (b), the words ``The Assistant Secretary of 
Commerce for Maritime Affairs shall, ex officio, be the 
Administrator'' in section 201 of Reorganization Plan No. 7 of 
1961 are omitted as superseded by 46 App. U.S.C. 1601 and 1603. 
The words ``and who shall be compensated at the rate provided 
for level III of the Executive Schedule'' in 46 App. U.S.C. 
1603 are omitted as unnecessary because of 5 U.S.C. 5314.
    In subsection (c), the word ``Secretary'' means the 
``Secretary of Transportation'' because under 46 App. U.S.C. 
1602 all functions, powers, and duties relating to the Maritime 
Administration were transferred from the Secretary of Commerce 
to the Secretary of Transportation. The words ``in the 
competitive service'' are substituted for ``under the 
classified civil service'' because of 5 U.S.C. 2102(c). The 
words ``Provided, That such Deputy Administrator shall at no 
time sit as a member or acting member of the Federal Maritime 
Board'' are omitted as obsolete because the Federal Maritime 
Board was abolished by section 304 of Reorganization Plan No. 7 
of 1961 (46 App. U.S.C. 1111 note).
    In subsection (f), the words ``vessels of the United 
States'' are substituted for ``vessels of United States 
registry'' because of the definition of ``vessel of the United 
States'' in chapter 1 of the revised title.
    In subsection (g), the words ``equal to the amount that 
would be paid to an individual performing work the Secretary 
considers to be of similar importance, difficulty, and 
responsibility'' are substituted for ``equal to the pay and 
allowances he would receive if he were the incumbent of an 
office or position in such service (or in the corresponding 
executive department), which, in the opinion of . . . the 
Secretary of Transportation, involves the performance of work 
similar in importance, difficulty, and responsibility'' to 
eliminate unnecessary words.
    In subsection (h)(2), the words ``according to approved 
commercial practice as provided in the Act of March 20, 1922 
(42 Stat. 444)'' are omitted as obsolete and unnecessary.
    In subsection (i)(2), the words ``Notwithstanding any other 
provision of this chapter or any other law'' are omitted as 
unnecessary. In clause (G), the words ``National Defense 
Reserve Fleet'' are substituted for ``reserve fleet'' for 
clarity. Clause (H) is substituted for ``(7) maritime training 
at the Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York'', 
``(8) financial assistance to State maritime academies under 
section 1295c of this Appendix'', ``(10) expenses necessary for 
additional training provided under section 1295d of this 
Appendix'', and ``(10) expenses necessary to carry out 
subchapter XIII of this chapter'' because of the reorganization 
of revised title 46 and to eliminate unnecessary words. The 
text of 46 App. U.S.C. 1119 (proviso) is omitted as obsolete.

    SECTION 12--AMENDMENTS RELATING TO MARITIME SECURITY ACT OF 2003

    Section 12(a) of the bill makes conforming cross reference 
amendments to chapter 531 of title 46, which was added by 
section 3531(a) of the Maritime Security Act of 2003 (Public 
Law 108-136, 117 Stat. 1803).
    Section 12(b) amends section 12111(c)(3) of title 46, which 
restates existing section 12102(d)(4) of title 46. This 
amendment corresponds to the amendment contained in section 
3534(b)(1) of that Act (117 Stat. 1818). An effective date is 
provided to carry forward the effective date contained in 
section 3537(b) of that Act (117 Stat. 1819), and section 
3534(b)(1) of that Act is repealed if this Act takes effect 
before the amendment made by section 3534(b)(1).

        SECTION 13--AMENDMENTS TO PARTIALLY RESTATED PROVISIONS

                             Section 13(a)

    Section 13(a) of the bill amends section 2793 of the 
Revised Statutes, which appears in the United States Code at 
three places with editorial variations. The version at 46 App. 
U.S.C. 123 includes the language about tonnage tax but omits 
the language about entry fees and clearance fees. The versions 
at 19 U.S.C. 288 and 46 App. U.S.C. 111, which are identical, 
include the language about entry fees and clearance fees but 
omit the language about tonnage tax. Section 2793 is amended to 
strike the language about tonnage tax because section 2793, 
insofar as it relates to tonnage tax, is restated in section 
60308 of title 46. Section 2793, as amended by this section, 
will relate only to entry fees and clearance fees and will be 
classified only to 19 U.S.C. 288.

                             Section 13(b)

    Section 13(b) of the bill amends the third sentence of 
section 809(a) of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936 (46 App. U.S.C. 
1213(a)), which relates to the seasonal closure of the Saint 
Lawrence Seaway. The amendment strikes the reference to section 
211(a) of that Act (46 App. U.S.C. 1121(a)) because the 
substance of the third sentence of the amended provision is 
restated, along with 46 App. U.S.C. 1121(a), in section 50103 
of title 46.

             SECTION 14--ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS TO TITLE 46

    Section 14 of the bill makes additional amendments to title 
46 to replace references to provisions which are repealed and 
restated by the bill with references to the corresponding new 
provisions, and to fix typographical errors. Other amendments 
are explained as follows:
    Certain definitions in section 2101 which are restated in 
chapter 1 as title-wide definitions are repealed.
    Section 2108 is repealed because it is revised and restated 
as section 504 of title 46.
    Section 2301 is amended to include a reference to section 
2304 because of the amendment to section 2304.
    Section 2304 is amended to restate 46 App. U.S.C. 731 as it 
relates to section 2304. The remainder of 46 App. U.S.C. 731 is 
restated in section 80107(d) of title 46.
    In section 14305(a)(6), the reference to 46 App. U.S.C. 883 
is replaced with only a reference to section 12132 of title 46, 
which restates the first proviso of 46 App. U.S.C. 883. That is 
because only the first proviso of 46 App. U.S.C. 883 is 
relevant to the alternative tonnage measurement determined in 
accordance with section 14305.

            SECTION 15--CONFORMING AMENDMENTS TO OTHER LAWS

    Section 15 of the bill makes conforming cross reference 
amendments to positive law titles of the United States Code and 
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. 1 et seq.), and 
other conforming amendments as necessary.
    Section 15(i) of the bill amends section 5501(a) of the 
Oceans Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-587, 106 Stat. 5084) by 
adding a new paragraph (3). The intent of this amendment is to 
maintain the status quo under paragraph (2) of section 5501(a) 
of that Act, as it exists prior to the enactment of this 
codification legislation. Section 55109 of title 46, United 
States Code, as contained in this bill, is intended as a 
codification without substantive change of section 1 of the Act 
of May 28, 1906, as amended (46 App. U.S.C. 292). Therefore, 
the exceptions from that latter provision, which currently 
exist under such paragraph (2), are intended to continue to 
exist to the same extent under new section 55109 of title 46. 
In addition, if the original intent of such paragraph (2) was 
that the restriction contained in the pre-1992 amended version 
of that 1906 provision continues to apply to the vessels, 
persons, and entities described in such paragraph (2), then 
that outcome is intended to remain unchanged by this 
legislation, despite the repeal by this legislation of that 
1906 provision. No expression as to the original intent of such 
paragraph (2) is intended by this legislation.

    SECTION 16--LEGISLATIVE CONSTRUCTION AND TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS

    Section 16 of the bill contains provisions relating to 
legislative construction and transitional provisions.
    Subsections (a) and (b) provide that this is a codification 
bill drafted in accordance with section 285b of title 2, United 
States Code. The intent is to comply with the standard set 
forth in section 285b, which provides that the restatement of 
existing law shall conform to ``the understood policy, intent, 
and purpose of the Congress in the original enactments''. The 
only substantive changes intended are those permitted by 
section 285b, which are those limited to removing 
``ambiguities, contradictions, and other imperfections'' in a 
way that is consistent with the understood policy, intent, and 
purpose of the original enactments. As a practical matter, this 
means that the only substantive changes intended are those 
which are purely technical and believed to be completely 
noncontroversial. A couple of examples may help to illustrate 
the limited nature of any possible substantive change:
    First, in a group of sections relating to the Coast Guard, 
there may have been several references to the Secretary of the 
department in which the Coast Guard is operating, with a few 
anomalous references to the Secretary of Transportation. (The 
Coast Guard was part of the Department of Transportation prior 
to its recent transfer to the Department of Homeland Security, 
but operates as a service in the Navy during times of war.) 
These references were all made consistent. Although this 
technically is a substantive change, it is believed that the 
change merely brings the statutory language into accord with 
what was intended.
    Second, in consolidating separately enacted laws into a 
single unit such as a chapter or subtitle, the question arises 
as to whether the definitions from one or more laws should be 
made applicable generally to the entire unit. Doing so makes 
for a cleaner result. The alternative might require specifying 
a list of seemingly curious and illogical exceptions. In making 
the decision to apply the definitions generally, each instance 
of each defined term was examined to determine that this 
technical substantive change could be made safely without 
leading to any genuine change in result.
    As a guiding principle, however, those interpreting the law 
are advised to assume in questionable cases that no substantive 
change was intended. See page 3 of this report under the 
heading ``Conformity With Original Intent'' for an additional 
explanation and for a list of cases relevant to the 
interpretation of codification legislation.

                          SECTION 17--REPEALS

    Section 17 of the bill repeals laws replaced by the bill 
and laws that are obsolete or superseded.

                       SECTION 18--EFFECTIVE DATE

    Section 18 of the bill establishes an effective date to 
ensure that the Act does not take effect prior to the effective 
date of certain amendments to title 46 contained in the 
Maritime Security Act of 2003 (Public Law 108-136, 117 Stat. 
1788).

                            BUSINESS MEETING

                      WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2004

                  House of Representatives,
                                Committee on the Judiciary,
                                                    Washington, DC.
    The Committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:00 a.m., in 
Room 2141, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. F. James 
Sensenbrenner, Jr., [Chairman of the Committee] Presiding.
    [Intervening business.]
    Chairman Sensenbrenner. Pursuant to notice, I now call up 
the bill H.R. 4319, the ``Title 46 Codification Act of 2004,'' 
for purposes of markup and move its favorable recommendation 
into the House. Without objection, the bill will be considered 
as read and open for amendment at any point.
    The Chair recognizes himself for 5 minutes to explain the 
bill.
    Today the Committee considers this legislation, the bill 
completes the codification of Title 46, U.S. Code, ``shipping'' 
as positive law. The Ranking Member, Mr. Conyers, and I jointly 
introduced this legislation on May 10. This bill was prepared 
by the Office of Law Revision Counsel as part of the program 
required by Title 2 of the United States Code section 285(b) to 
prepare and submit to the Committee on the Judiciary one title 
at a time a complete compilation restatement and revision of 
the general and permanent laws of the United States.
    This bill makes no substantive change in existing law. 
Rather, the bill removes ambiguities, contradictions and other 
imperfections from existing law; and it repeals obsolete, 
superfluous or superceded provisions.
    After the introduction, the bill was circulated for comment 
to interested parties, including Committees of Congress and 
agencies of the departments of Government. All comments were to 
be submitted no later than 45 days after the bill was 
introduced. The Federal Maritime Commission and the Department 
of Transportation provided extensive comments on the bill. 
Several other agencies and departments of the Government also 
provided comments.
    Without objection, the comments referred to in this 
statement will be included as a part of the record.
    [The comments are reprinted in the ``Review and Comments'' 
section of this report.]
    Chairman Sensenbrenner. The Office of Law Revision Counsel 
reviewed and considered all comments, contacting the interested 
parties to resolve outstanding questions. Some comments 
proposing changes to improve organization and clarity were 
incorporated in the restatement.
    Other comments either suggesting substantive changes to 
existing law or expressing opposition to the substance of 
existing law could not be incorporated in the restatement. This 
bill makes no substantive changes in existing law and is not 
intended to do so. That is not the function of Law Revision 
Counsel bills. They reorganize and clean up the law and do not 
change the substance. Thus, the Members should understand that, 
because of the nature of this bill, supporting it does not 
imply support of the underlying provisions that are being 
reorganized and cleaned up.
    In a moment, I will offer a substitute amendment prepared 
by the office of the Law Revision Counsel which will 
incorporate additional changes to the Code which were 
recommended as a result of the review and comment process. The 
Law Revision Counsel has indicated that he is satisfied that 
the substitute makes no substantive change to existing law and 
that no additional cost to the Government would be incurred as 
a result of the enactment of H.R. 4319.
    I would like to express the Committee's appreciation for 
the work of the Law Revision Counsel and the staff on the bill 
and that I encourage all Members to support the substitute and 
the underlying legislation.
    Does anyone--do any of the Democratic Members have an 
opening statement?
    If not, all Members' opening statements will appear in the 
record at this point, and the Chair recognizes himself for 
purposes of offering the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute, which the clerk will report.
    The Clerk. Amendment in the nature of a substitute to H.R. 
4319.
    Chairman Sensenbrenner. Without objection, the substitute 
is considered as read and open for amendment at any point.
    The Chair recognized himself briefly to note, as previously 
mentioned, this amendment in the nature of a substitute simply 
incorporates further technical revisions as recommended by the 
OLRC, and I ask for support of the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute and yield back the balance of my time.
    Are there any second degree amendments to the amendment in 
the nature of a substitute? If there are none, the question 
occurs on the nature of the amendment and the substitute. All 
those in favor will say aye. Aye. Opposed, no.
    The ayes appear to have it. The substitution is agreed to. 
A reporting quorum is present.
    A question occurs on the motion to report the bill H.R. 
4319 favorably as amended. All those in favor say aye. Aye. 
Opposed, no.
    The ayes have it. The motion to report favorably is agreed 
to.
    Without objection, the bill will be reported favorably to 
the House in the form of a single amendment in the nature of a 
substitute incorporating the amendment adopted here today. 
Without objection, the Chair is authorized to go to conference 
pursuant to House Rules. Without objection, the staff is 
directed to make any technical and conforming changes; and all 
Members will be given 2 days as provided by House Rules in 
order to provide additional dissenting, supplemental or 
minority views.
    I believe that the Committee has done yeoman's work in 
wading through a large number of bills. We will do judges 
tomorrow.
    The Committee is recessed until 10:00 a.m. Tomorrow 
morning.
    [Whereupon, at 2:47 p.m., the Committee was adjourned.]
