    In subsection (a), the words ``project grants'' are substituted for 

``grants . . . for airport development and airport planning by project 

grants'' in 49 App.:2204(a) to eliminate unnecessary words and because 

of the definitions of ``project'' and ``project grant'' in section 47102 

of the revised title.

    In subsection (b), the words ``and such authority shall exist with 

respect to funds available for the making of grants for any fiscal year 

or part thereof pursuant to subsection (a) of this section'' are omitted 

as surplus.

    In subsection (c), the words ``except for obligations of amounts'' 

are substituted for ``except that nothing in this section shall preclude 

the obligation by grant agreement of apportioned funds'' to eliminate 

unnecessary words.
