In this section, the text of 40:460(2) is omitted as unnecessary because the complete name of the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development is used the first time the term appears in a section.

In clause (1), the words "or 'public agencies' " are omitted as unnecessary because of 1:1.

In clause (3), the words "Guam, the Virgin Islands" are added to clarify that the provisions of the source law apply to those jurisdictions. The words "the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, Palau" are substituted for "the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands" because of the termination of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands.
