49 App.:2204(a) (2d sentence).
Sept. 3, 1982, Pub. L. 97–248, § 505(a) (2d sentence), 96 Stat. 676; Jan. 6, 1983, Pub. L. 97–424, § 426(b)(1)–(5), 96 Stat. 2167; restated Dec. 30, 1987, Pub. L. 100–223, § 105(e), 101 Stat. 1493; Nov. 5, 1990, Pub. L. 101–508, § 9104(1), 104 Stat. 1388–355; Oct. 31, 1992, Pub. L. 102–581, § 102(a), 106 Stat. 4876.
In this section, references to the aggregate amounts for fiscal years ending before October 1, 1987–1992, are omitted as obsolete. The words “of which $475,000,000 shall be credited to the supplementary discretionary fund established by section 2206(a)(3)(B)” are omitted as executed. In restating section 505(a) (2d sentence) of the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 (Public Law 97–248, 96 Stat. 676), the cross-reference to the discretionary fund was retained but is incorrect because of the restatement of section 507 of the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 (Public Law 97–248, 96 Stat. 679) by section 426(a) of the Highway Improvement Act of 1982 (Public Law 97–424, 96 Stat. 2167). See section 47115 of the revised title.
