Historical and Revision Notes

Revised Statutes and
Derivation U.S. Code Statutes at Large
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 U.S.C. 1031. Dec. 29, 1950, ch.
1189, Sec. 1, 64

Stat. 961.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subsection (a) of former section 1031 of title 5 is omitted as
unnecessary because the term ``court of appeals'' as used in title 28
means a United States Court of Appeals and no additional definition is
necessary.
In paragraph (3), reference to the United States Maritime Commission
is omitted because that Commission was abolished by 1950 Reorg. Plan No.
21, Sec. 306, eff. May 24, 1950, 64 Stat. 1277. Reference to ``Federal
Maritime Commission'' is substituted for ``Federal Maritime Board'' on
authority of 1961 Reorg. Plan No. 7, eff. Aug. 12, 1961, 75 Stat. 840.
