This chapter, referred to in subsec. (b), was in the original “this Act”, and was translated as reading “this title”, meaning title III of [Pub.

[Pub. L. 116–283, div. A, title XII, § 1299Q(e)(6)], Jan. 1, 2021, [134 Stat. 4025], which amended this section, was itself amended by [Pub. L. 116–260, div.
