A prior section 104 of Pub. L. 93–638 was renumbered section 103 by Pub. L. 100–472 and is classified to section 5322 of this title.

2007—Subsec. (j). Pub. L. 110–81 amended subsec. (j) generally. Prior to amendment, text read as follows: “Anything in sections 205 and 207 of title 18 to the contrary notwithstanding, officers and employees of the United States assigned to an Indian tribe as authorized under section 3372 of title 5, or section 48 of this title and former officers and employees of the United States employed by Indian tribes may act as agents or attorneys for or appear on behalf of such tribes in connection wth [sic] any matter pending before any department, agency, court, or commission, including any matter in which the United States is a party or has a direct and substantial interest: Provided, That each such officer or employee or former officer or employee must advise in writing the head of the department, agency, court, or commission with which he is dealing or appearing on behalf of the tribe of any personal and substantial involvement he may have had as an officer or employee of the United States in connection with the matter involved.”

1990—Subsec. (m). Pub. L. 101–301 substituted “an Indian (as defined in section 5129 of this title) appointed (except temporary appointments)” for “an Indian appointed”.

1988—Subsecs. (a), (b). Pub. L. 100–472, § 203(b), (c), amended subsecs. (a) and (b). See Codification note above.

Subsec. (e). Pub. L. 100–472, § 203(d), (e), in introductory provisions, substituted “Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 8347(o), 8713, and 8914 of title 5” for “Notwithstanding any other law” and struck out “on or before December 31, 1988” after “title 43”, and in par. (2), inserted “or chapter 84 (‘Federal Employees Retirement System’)”. Notwithstanding directory language that the substitution of “Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 8347(o), 8713, and 8914 of title 5” be made in par. (2) of subsec. (e), the substitution was made in introductory provisions of subsec. (e) to reflect the probable intent of Congress because the language replaced appeared only in those introductory provisions.
