In clause (1), the words or ‘public agencies’ are omitted as unnecessary because of 1:1.
In clause (3), the words Guam, the Virgin Islands are added to clarify that the provisions of the source law apply to those jurisdictions. The words the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, Palau are substituted for the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands because of the termination of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands.
