Editor’s note: Former chapters 1 through 4 of this title were designated subtitle I at the time of the first cumulative supplement in order to distinguish the provisions of the Trust Territory Environmental Protection Act from the FSM Environmental Protection Act, which was codified in chapters 5 through 7 of subtitle II. Section 1 of PL 17-57 repealed chapters 1 through 4 of this title. Section 2 of PL 17-57 renumbered chapters 5 through 7 as chapters 1 through 3, respectively. Chapters 1 through 3 are designated as subtitle I to retain the integrity of the FSM Environmental Protection Act and to allow for future enactment of other laws on environmental protection not a part of the FSM Environmental Protection Act. The subtitle II designation is removed as no longer currently necessary. Section 3 of PL 17-57 designated this title as the Federated States of Micronesia Environmental Protection Act, but the original designation of this title as Environmental Protection is retained to comport with standard code format. The “Federated States of Micronesia” in subtitle I is changed to “FSM” to shorten the subtitle’s designation.
