Clause (1) is added to incorporate the definitions in 15:5802.
In clause (2), the word ``includes'' is substituted for ``may
include'' for consistency in the revised title and with other titles of
the United States Code.
In clause (5), the words ``municipality or other'' are omitted for
consistency.
The text of 15:5804(5) is omitted as unnecessary because the
complete name of the Secretary of Transportation is used the first time
the term appears in a section.
