SECTION 1. TABLE OF CONTENTS.

    The table of contents for this Act is as follows:

Sec. 1. Table of contents.
Sec. 2. Purposes; restatement does not change meaning or effect of 
                            existing law.
Sec. 3. Revision of title 5, United States Code.
Sec. 4. Technical amendments.
Sec. 5. Transitional and savings provisions.
Sec. 6. Effect of references to title 5 on application of ethics 
                            provisions.
Sec. 7. Repeals.

SEC. 2. PURPOSES; RESTATEMENT DOES NOT CHANGE MEANING OR EFFECT OF 
              EXISTING LAW.

    (a) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are--
            (1) to make revisions in title 5, United States Code, as 
        necessary to keep the title current; and
            (2) to make technical amendments to improve the United 
        States Code.
    (b) Restatement Does Not Change Meaning or Effect of Existing 
Law.--
            (1) In general.--The restatement of existing law enacted by 
        this Act does not change the meaning or effect of the existing 
        law. The restatement incorporates in title 5, United States 
        Code, various provisions that were enacted separately over a 
        period of years, reorganizing them, conforming style and 
        terminology, modernizing obsolete language, and correcting 
        drafting errors. These changes serve to remove ambiguities, 
        contradictions, and other imperfections, but they do not change 
        the meaning or effect of the existing law or impair the 
        precedential value of earlier judicial decisions or other 
        interpretations.
            (2) Rule of construction.--
                    (A) In general.--Notwithstanding the plain meaning 
                rule or other rules of statutory construction, a change 
                in wording made in the restatement of existing law 
                enacted by this Act serves to clarify the existing law 
                as indicated in paragraph (1), but not to change the 
                meaning or effect of the existing law.
                    (B) Revision notes.--Subparagraph (A) applies 
                whether or not a change in wording is explained by a 
                revision note appearing in a congressional report 
                accompanying this Act. If such a revision note does 
                appear, a court shall consider the revision note in 
                interpreting the change.

SEC. 3. REVISION OF TITLE 5, UNITED STATES CODE.

    (a) Enactment of Chapter 10.--Part I of title 5, United States

        not been adequately reviewed;

        are no longer carrying out the purposes for which they were 
        established;

            ``(5) Congress and the public should be kept informed with 
        respect to the number, purpose, membership, activities, and 
        cost of advisory committees; and
            ``(6) the function of advisory committees should be 
        advisory only, and all matters under their consideration should

Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to apply to any local civic 
group whose primary function is that of rendering a public service with

Representatives shall make a continuing review of the activities of 
each advisory committee under its jurisdiction to determine whether 
such advisory committee should be abolished or merged with any other 
advisory committee, whether the responsibilities of such advisory 
committee should be revised, and whether such advisory committee 
performs a necessary function not already being performed. Each such 
standing committee shall take appropriate action to obtain the 
enactment of legislation necessary to carry out the purpose of this 
subsection.
    ``(b) Consideration of Legislation.--In considering legislation 
establishing, or authorizing the establishment of any advisory 
committee, each standing committee of the Senate and of the House of

Senate or to the House of Representatives, as the case may be, whether 
the functions of the proposed advisory committee are being or could be 
performed by one or more agencies or by an advisory committee already 
in existence, or by enlarging the mandate of an existing advisory

        advisory committee's independent judgment;
            ``(4) contain provisions dealing with authorization of 
        appropriations, the date for submission of reports (if any),

        committee determines the provisions of section 1009 of this 
        chapter to be inadequate; and
            ``(5) contain provisions which will assure that the 
        advisory committee will have adequate staff (either supplied by 
        an agency or employed by it), will be provided adequate

report.

                purpose;
                    ``(B) whether, consistent with the provisions of 
                applicable statutes, the responsibilities assigned to 
                the committee should be revised;

                is promptly and publicly disclosed and the Academy

        that meetings of the committee to gather data from individuals 
        who are not officials, agents, or employees of the Academy are

        reasonable charge if appropriate, written materials presented 
        to the committee by individuals who are not officials, agents,

        the public as soon as practicable, at reasonable charge if 
        appropriate, a brief summary of any committee meeting that is 
        not a data-gathering meeting, unless the Academy determines 
        that the summary would disclose matters described in section 
        552(b) of this title. The summary shall identify the committee 
        members present, the topics discussed, materials made available 
        to the committee, and other matters the Academy determines 
        should be included.

        the public its final report, at reasonable charge if 
        appropriate, unless the Academy determines that the report 
        would disclose matters described in section 552(b) of this 
        title. If the Academy determines that the report would disclose 
        matters described in section 552(b) of this title, the Academy 
        shall make public an abbreviated version of the report that 
        does not disclose those matters.

        report, the Academy shall make publicly available the names of 
        the principal reviewers who reviewed the report in draft form 
        and who are not officials, agents, or employees of the Academy.
