Editorial Notes
REFERENCES IN TEXT
Section 615b of this title, referred to in subsec. (b),
was in the original a reference to section 6 of the Wire-
less Communications and Public Safety Act of 1999,
Pub. L. 106–81, and was translated as if it had been a
reference to section 7 of Pub. L. 106–81, which is classi-
fied to section 615b of this title, to reflect the probable
intent of Congress and the renumbering of section 6 of
Pub. L. 106–81 as section 7 by Pub. L. 110–283, title I,
§ 101(1), July 23, 2008, 122 Stat. 2620. Pub. L. 110–283, title
I, § 101(3), July 23, 2008, 122 Stat. 2620 enacted a new sec-
tion 6 of the Wireless Communications and Public Safe-
ty Act of 1999 which is classified to section 215a–1 of
this title, but that section does not contain definitions.
