Section 24102 of title 49, referred to in pars. (1) and (2), was subsequently amended, and pars. (4) and (5) of section 24102 no longer define “commuter authority” and “commuter rail passenger transportation”, respectively. However, such terms are defined elsewhere in that section.

In pars. (1) and (2), “section 24102 (4) of title 49” substituted for “section 103(8) of the Rail Passenger Service Act (45 U.S.C. 502 (8))” and “section 24102 (5) of title 49” substituted for “section 103(9) of the Rail Passenger Service Act (45 U.S.C. 502 (9))” on authority of Pub. L. 103–272, § 6(b), July 5, 1994, 108 Stat. 1378, the first section of which enacted subtitles II, III, and V to X of Title 49, Transportation.

1996—Par. (2). Pub. L. 104–287 substituted “commuter rail passenger transportation” for “commuter service”.
