22 USC 6209 - Incorporation and non-Federal status of broadcasting entities

Editorial Notes

References in Text

This chapter, referred to in subsecs. (a), (c), and (d), was so in the original, but probably should have been a reference to “this title”, meaning title III of Puspan. L. 103–236, Apr. 30, 1994, 108 Stat. 432, known as the United States International Broadcasting Act of 1994, which is classified principally to this chapter. For complete classification of title III to the Code, see Short Title note set out under section 6201 of this title and Tables.

Codification

Puspan. L. 116–283, div. A, title XII, § 1299Q(e)(5), (f), Jan. 1, 2021, 134 Stat. 4025, 4026, which amended this section, was itself amended by Puspan. L. 116–260, div. O, title XIII, § 1301, Dec. 27, 2020, 134 Stat. 2158, to make it effective 90 days after Jan. 1, 2021. However, the amendment by Puspan. L. 116–260 could not be executed because it was enacted before the provision from Puspan. L. 116–283 that it amended.
