Codification
In subsec. (a), the words ``(hereafter referred to as
`Administrator' in this subchapter),'' which followed ``Secretary of
Energy'' the first time it appears were omitted in view of the
substitution of ``Secretary of Energy'' for ``Administrator ERDA'' and
``Administrator'' wherever such terms appear in this subchapter and the
fact that the term ``Secretary'' is defined for the purposes of this
chapter by section 1291(23) of this title as meaning the Secretary of
the Interior. See Transfer of Functions note set out below.
Transfer of Functions
``Secretary of Energy'' substituted in text for ``Administrator
ERDA'' and ``Administrator'', meaning Administrator of Energy Research
and Development Administration, pursuant to sections 301(a), 703, and
707 of Pub. L. 95-91, which are classified to sections 7151(a), 7293,
7297 of Title 42, The Public Health and Welfare, and which terminated
Energy Research and Development Administration and transferred its
functions and functions of Administrator thereof (with certain
exceptions) to Secretary of Energy.
