In clause (1), the words ``applying for'' are substituted for
``seeking'' for clarity. The words ``acting separately or together'' are
omitted as unnecessary. The text of 42:4261(4) is omitted as unnecessary
because of section 102 of the revised title.
In clause (2), the words ``of the United States Government'' are
added for clarity. The words ``assistance in the form of'' are omitted
as unnecessary.
In clause (3), the words ``a county, city, political subdivision of
a county or city, or other general purpose political subdivision of a
State'' are substituted for ``a local unit of government including a
city, county, parish, town, township, village,'' for consistency in the
revised title and because of 1:2. The word ``agency'' is omitted because
it is included in ``instrumentality''.
In clause (4), the words ``that contribute'' are substituted for
``if each of those components'' to eliminate unnecessary words. The
words ``whether of a temporary or continuing nature'' are omitted as
