§301 Automatic Execution of Conforming Changes

Summary

When a covered maritime law adds, removes, moves, or renames a section or larger part, the law’s table of contents, analyses, or similar lists are automatically changed to match. That automatic fix does not happen if the amendment itself (or a clerical change made at the same time) already fixes the table, or if the amendment says it is not covered by this rule. Covered maritime law means three things. First, this title (Title 46). Second, any Maritime Administration authorization Act that authorizes funds to be appropriated for a fiscal year to the Maritime Administration. Third, any other law that explicitly calls itself a covered maritime law.
