      or has violated any rule or regulation issued hereunder” in 31:1143(b)(words before last comma) to eliminate
      unnecessary words. The words “or a regulation prescribed” are added because of the restatement. The words
      “in his discretion” are omitted as surplus. The word “civil” is added because of rule 2 of the Federal Rules
      of Civil Procedure (28 App. U.S.C.). The word “possession” is substituted for “other place subject to the
      jurisdiction” for consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the United States Code. The words

      before last comma) to eliminate unnecessary words. The words “and upon a proper showing . . . permanent or”
      are omitted as surplus. CFR Title Parts 12 326 17 42 31 42 , 103 , 1012 , 1020 , 1021 , 1022 , 1023 , 1024
