-------------------------------
In this section, the definition of ''Secretary'' is omitted as
unnecessary because the complete title of the Secretary of
Transportation is used the first time the term appears in a
section.
In clause (2), the words ''(individually or by class)'' are
substituted for ''Such term includes any class of such materials,
substances, or products'' to eliminate unnecessary words. The
words ''or is deemed a nonfood product under section 5703(a)(2) of
this title'' are substituted for ''(except as provided under
section 4(a)(2))'' for clarity.
In clause (4), the words ''the Commonwealth of'' are omitted as
surplus.
