L. 118–234, title I, § 125(a)(1), Jan. 4, 2025, 138 Stat. 2847.) Editorial Notes REFERENCES IN TEXT The Wilderness Act of 1964, referred to in subsec. (a)(4)(B), probably means the Wilderness Act, Pub. L. 88–577, Sept. 3, 1964, 78 Stat. 890, which is classified gen- erally to chapter 23 (§ 1131 et seq.) of Title 16, Conserva- tion. For complete classification of this Act to the Code, see Short Title note set out under section 1131 of Title 16 and Tables. Section 3 of the EXPLORE Act, referred to in subsec. (a)(5)(H), probably should be a reference to section 2 of the EXPLORE Act, Pub. L. 118–234, which is classified to section 8401 of Title 16, Conservation. Pub. L. 118–234 does not contain a section 3. ‘‘State’’ is defined in sec- tion 8401(9) of Title 16. PRIOR PROVISIONS A prior section 100905, Pub.
