In the section, before clause (1), the words ``To improve economy
and efficiency in the United States Government'' are substituted for
``(with a view of securing greater economy and efficiency in the conduct
of the public service)'' in 31:18 and ``with a view to efficient and
economical service'' in 31:18a to eliminate unnecessary words. The word
``President'' is substituted for ``Office of Management and Budget, when
directed by the President'' in 31:18 and ``President, through the
Director of the Office of Management and Budget'' in 31:18a because
sections 101 and 102(a) of Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1970 (eff. July
1, 1970, 84 Stat. 2085) designated the Bureau of the Budget as the
Office of Management and Budget and transferred all functions of the
Bureau to the President. In clause (1), the words ``existing'' and
``detailed'' are omitted as surplus.
Regulatory Reductions

Sept. 11, 1993, 58 F.R. 48255, set out as a note under section 601 of
