Section 1703(a) of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, referred to in subsec. (c)(3)(A), probably means section 1603 of Pub. L. 110–246, because Pub.

L. 110–246 amended section 1308 of Title 7, Agriculture, by striking out provisions relating to issuance of regulations defining “person”.

For complete classification of this Act to the Code, see Short Title note set out under section 2101 of this title and Tables.
