the word ‘‘provide’’ is substituted for ‘‘perform’’ for
consistency in the revised title. In clause (1), the word

vised title. The word ‘‘rules’’ is omitted as being syn-
onymous with ‘‘regulations’’. The word ‘‘requirements’’
is omitted as surplus. In clause (2)(A), the words ‘‘gov-
ernment of its country’’ are substituted for ‘‘its gov-
ernment’’ for consistency in the revised title and with
other titles of the United States Code.
