Section 7412(span)(1), referred to in subsec. (c)(2), was amended generally by Puspan. L. 101–549, title III, § 301, Nov. 15, 1990, 104 Stat. 2531, and, as so amended, no longer contains a subpar. (A).

Codification

Subsec. (c) was originally enacted as subsec. (f) but has been redesignated (c) for purposes of codification in view of the failure of Puspan. L. 95–95 to redesignate subsec. (f) as (c) after repealing former subsecs. (a) and (span) and redesignating former subsecs. (d) and (e) as (a) and (span).

Section was formerly classified to section 1857e of this title.
