In subsection (a), the definition of "United States" is omitted

as unnecessary because, within 40:13f-13p, the words "United

States" are used in the geographical sense only in 40:13n(a)(2) and

(c) and the restatement of those provisions, in section 6121 of the

revised title, substitutes the words "any State" for "any part of

the United States".

Before clause (1), the words "In this chapter, the following

definitions apply" are substituted for "As used in sections 13f to

13p of this title, the term - " for clarity. The terms are not used

in 40:13a-13e, so using them chapter-wide does not expand their

scope.

In clause (2), the words "the Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern

Mariana Islands, the Federal States of Micronesia, the Marshall

Islands, Palau, and any territory or possession of the United

States" are substituted for "any territory or possession of the

United States" to clarify that the provisions of the source law

apply to those jurisdictions.

In subsection (b), before clause (1), the words "In addition to

the property referred to in the preceding sentence, for the

purposes of sections 13f to 13p of this title, the Supreme Court

grounds" are omitted as unnecessary.
