When an amendment changes a Coast Guard law's sections, its table of contents updates automatically too. This covers adding, repealing, transferring, or renaming sections. Two exceptions exist: a separate clerical fix already covers it, or the amendment says this rule doesn't apply.

(a) In General. When an amendment to a "covered Coast Guard law" adds a section or a bigger organizational unit, repeals or transfers one, or changes a section's or unit's designation or heading, that same amendment automatically also updates any analysis, table of contents, or similar table in that law — so the table matches the change, without a separate amendment being needed. (b) Exceptions. Subsection (a) doesn't apply when: (1) the amendment itself, or a clerical amendment passed at the same time, already expressly updates the table of sections, table of contents, or similar tables to match the change; or (2) the amendment expressly says this section doesn't apply to it. (c) Covered Coast Guard Law Defined. In this section, "covered Coast Guard law" means: (1) this title (title 14); (2) any Coast Guard authorization Act that authorizes money to be appropriated to the Coast Guard for a fiscal year; and (3) any other law whose own text names itself as a covered Coast Guard law for this section's purposes.
