Section 3833(2) of title 16, referred to in subsec. (a)(1), was in the original a reference to “section 1233(2) of the Food Security Act of 1985 (16 U.S.C. 3833(2))”, which is section 1233(2) of Pub.

As so amended, the substance of former section 1233(2) now appears in section 1233(a)(2), which is classified to section 3833(a)(2) of Title 16.
