Three laws did not change any oil pipeline's legal rights or duties. This includes rights under the Interstate Commerce Act and the Pomerene Bills of Lading Act. Those rights still apply in agencies, before government officers, and in court.
This section says that passing three laws did not repeal or substantively change any oil pipeline's rights, obligations, liabilities, or remedies. The three laws are: the Act of October 17, 1978 (Public Law 95–473, 92 Stat. 1337); the Act of January 12, 1983 (Public Law 97–449, 96 Stat. 2413); and the Act that enacted this section itself.
This protection covers rights, obligations, liabilities, and remedies that arise under the Interstate Commerce Act or under the Act of August 29, 1916 — known as the Pomerene Bills of Lading Act. It applies wherever those rights come up: before any federal department, agency, or other government body, before any officer or employee of the government, or before a court of competent jurisdiction.
The enactment of the Act of October 17, 1978 (Public Law 95–473, 92 Stat. 1337), the Act of January 12, 1983 (Public Law 97–449, 96 Stat. 2413), and the Act enacting this section does not repeal, and has no substantive effect on, any right, obligation, liability, or remedy of an oil pipeline, including a right, obligation, liability, or remedy arising under the Interstate Commerce Act or the Act of August 29, 1916 (known as the Pomerene Bills of Lading Act), before any department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States Government, an officer or employee of the Government, or a court of competent jurisdiction.
