In subsection (b)(2), the words ‘‘Emergency Farm Mortgage Act of 1933’’ and ‘‘Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation Act’’ are omitted because all provisions of those Acts have previously been executed or repealed. In subsection (b)(2)(B), the words ‘‘Farm Credit Act of 1971 (12 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.)’’ are substituted for ‘‘Fed- eral Farm Loan Act’’ and ‘‘Farm Credit Act of 1933’’ be- cause of section 5.40(a), formerly 5.26(a), of the Farm Credit Act of 1971 (Pub. L. 92–181, 12 U.S.C. 2001 note). In subsection (b)(2)(C), the words ‘‘Home Owners’ Loan Act’’ are substituted for ‘‘Home Owners’ Loan Act of 1933’’ because of the amendment to 12:1461 made by Public Law 101–73. § 6307. Contracts with Federal Government- owned establishments and availability of ap- propriations An order or contract placed with a Federal Government-owned establishment for work, ma- terial, or the manufacture of material per- taining to an approved project is deemed to be an obligation in the same manner that a similar order or contract placed with a commercial manufacturer or private contractor is an obliga- tion. Appropriations remain available to pay an obligation to a Federal Government-owned es- tablishment just as appropriations remain avail- able to pay an obligation to a commercial manu- facturer or private contractor.

The words ‘‘heretofore or’’ are omitted as obsolete. The word ‘‘hereafter’’ is omitted as unnecessary be- cause the provision is restated as permanent law rather than as part of a fiscal year appropriation. § 6308.
