In subsection (b)(2), the words ‘‘the Surplus Property

are omitted because the relevant provisions of the Sur-

In subsection (e), the definition of ‘‘States’’ is omit-
ted as unnecessary because of 40:484(k)(1)(D), restated
in subsection (a).
In subsection (e)(4), the words ‘‘this subsection’’ are
