In this section, the definition of ``Secretary'' is omitted as
unnecessary because the complete title of the Secretary of
Transportation is used the first time the term appears in a section.
In clause (2), the words ``(individually or by class)'' are
substituted for ``Such term includes any class of such materials,
substances, or products'' to eliminate unnecessary words. The words ``or
is deemed a nonfood product under section 5703(a)(2) of this title'' are
substituted for ``(except as provided under section 4(a)(2))'' for
clarity.
In clause (4), the words ``the Commonwealth of'' are omitted as
surplus.
