Former appendix section.
The Appendix to Title 46 (Shipping) no longer exists. Congress enacted Title 46 as positive law in stages, from Pub. L. 98–89 (Aug. 26, 1983) to Pub. L. 109–304 (Oct. 6, 2006), and each of those Acts repealed the provisions it restated in Title 46.
Where § 1706 went, according to the Office of the Law Revision Counsel (the Disposition Table preceding 46 U.S.C. § 101):
The table records where each provision went when it was restated; the current section may have been amended since.
