(Aug. 31, 1954, ch. 1158, 68 Stat. 1019; Pub. L. 85–207, § 8, Aug. 28, 1957, 71 Stat. 482; Pub. L. 88–532, Aug. 31, 1964, 78 Stat. 737.) HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES Based on title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., § 121 (June 19, 1948, ch. 502, § 1, 62 Stat. 478; June 18, 1954, ch. 315, 68 Stat. 258). Section was subsection (a) of section 121 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed. The remainder of such section 121, which constituted subsection (b) thereof, is incor- porated in subchapter IV of this chapter. At the beginning, ‘‘The Secretary’’, meaning the Sec- retary of Commerce, was substituted for a reference to the Director of the Bureau of the Census, and, at the end, the provision that the territorial scope of the cen- suses should be determined by the Secretary was sub- stituted for the provision of section 121 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., that such determination should be made by the Director with the approval of the Sec- retary, to conform with 1950 Reorganization Plan No. 5, §§ 1, 2, eff. May 24, 1950, 15 F.R. 3174, 64 Stat. 1263, which transferred all functions of all officers and employees, agencies and bureaus of the Department of Commerce to the Secretary. However, the Secretary, under that plan, may delegate any of such transferred functions, as well as any other of his functions, to any of such of- ficers, employees, agencies and bureaus. See, also, sec- tion 4 of this title. The reference in section 121 of title 13, U.S.C., 1952 ed., to the year ‘‘1949’’ as the year for commencement of the quinquennial censuses was changed to the year ‘‘1954’’, since the former designation is obsolete, and the provision of such section that the census of manu- facturers should not be taken in 1949 was omitted as ob- solete. Changes were made in phraseology. Editorial Notes AMENDMENTS 1964—Pub. L. 88–532 substituted ‘‘in the year 1964, then in the year 1968, and’’ for ‘‘in the year 1954 and’’ and struck out provisions which related to the taking of certain censuses in the year 1955. 1957—Pub. L. 85–207 struck out sentence which in- cluded the United States and its territories and such possessions as the Secretary might determine in the censuses to be taken. See section 191 of this title.
