REFERENCES IN TEXT

The Tribally Controlled Community College Assistance Act of 1978, referred to in subsec. (a)(2), is Pub. L.

95–471, Oct. 17, 1978, 92 Stat. 1325, as amended, which is

classified principally to chapter 20 (§1801 et seq.) of this

title. For complete classification of this Act to the

Code, see Short Title note set out under section 1801 of

this title and Tables.

Section 2010 of this title, referred to in subsec. (b),

was in the original ‘‘section 1129’’, meaning section 1129

of Pub. L. 95–561, which is classified to section 2009 of

this title, and was translated as reading ‘‘section 1130’’

to reflect the probable intent of Congress, because section 2010, not section 2009, contains provisions relating

to local financial plans.
