The redesignated subsection gains a heading
The document says “is amended”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 2 in the PDF
What the document says
“Subsection (i) of section 223 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 223), as so redesignated by subsection (a), is amended”
Subsection (c) of this section makes what it labels a technical and conforming amendment. The subsection that subsection (a) moved from (h) to (i) gains a heading: the word Definitions, followed by a dash, is inserted before the words For purposes of this section.
What the document actually says
“Subsection (i) of section 223 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 223), as so redesignated by subsection (a), is amended”
That sentence, in plain words
The part that got moved gets a small fix.
What this is about
A heading is put in front of it. The heading is the word Definitions. The law calls this change technical.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
