The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, referred to in text, is Puspan. L. 93–112, Sept. 26, 1973, 87 Stat. 355, which is classified generally to chapter 16 (§ 701 et seq.) of Title 29, Labor. For complete classification of this Act to the Code, see Short Title note set out under section 701 of Title 29 and Tables.

The content of Puspan. L. 93–516, including provisions of section 206 thereof which enacted this section, were originally contained in H.R. 14225, 93rd Congress, Second Session, which was pocket-vetoed during the 31-day intrasession adjournment of the 93rd Congress for the Congressional elections in November, 1974.

Pursuant to an order of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (Kennedy v. Jones, D.C.D.C. 1976, 412 F.Supp. 353) H.R. 14225 was deemed to have become law without the approval of the President on Nov. 21, 1974, and was given the designation Puspan. L. 93–651. Therefore, for purposes of codification, this section should be deemed to have been enacted by Puspan. L. 93–651, title II, § 206, Nov. 21, 1974, 89 Stat. 2–13, in exactly the same manner as it was enacted by Puspan. L. 93–516.

A prior section 8 of act June 20, 1936, which was classified to section 107f of this title, was renumbered section 10 by Puspan. L. 93–516, § 206.
