In subsection (i)(2), the words ‘‘Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter or any other law’’ are omitted as unnecessary. In clause (G), the words ‘‘Na- tional Defense Reserve Fleet’’ are substituted for ‘‘re- serve fleet’’ for clarity. Clause (H) is substituted for ‘‘(7) maritime training at the Merchant Marine Acad- emy at Kings Point, New York’’, ‘‘(8) financial assist- ance to State maritime academies under section 1295c of this Appendix’’, ‘‘(10) expenses necessary for addi- tional training provided under section 1295d of this Ap- pendix’’, and ‘‘(10) expenses necessary to carry out sub- chapter XIII of this chapter’’ because of the reorganiza- tion of revised title 46 and to eliminate unnecessary words.
