EDITORIAL NOTES
REFERENCES IN TEXTSection 4311(b) of this title, referred to in subsec. (a)(4), was in the original "section 12(b)", probably meaning section 12(b) of Pub. L. 102-242 and was translated as meaning section 272(b) of Pub. L. 102-242 to reflect the probable intent of Congress. There is no section 12 of Pub. L. 102-242 and section 272(b) of Pub. L. 102-242 relates to regulations prescribed by the National Credit Union Administration Board.

L. 102-550, §1604(e)(2)(D)-(H), made technical amendment to references to "this chapter" wherever appearing to reflect correction of corresponding provision of original act. Subsec. (a)(2). Pub. L. 102-550, §957(b), substituted "9 months" for "6 months".
