In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the reference to "the Administrator's
designee", which formerly was included in the alternative in the definition
of the term "[administrator" unless "the context requires otherwise", is
deleted as unnecessary and potentially misleading in light of subsection (d)
of this section, which, at times, includes an express reference to a
"designee" of the Administrator and at times omits the express reference.
This revision retains the express reference as it appeared in the former
law. See subsection (d)(4) of this section (in which the term "designee" is
used); see also subsection (d)(1) and (2) of this section (in which the term
"designee" is not used and in which the context would seem to require that
the Administrator, and not a designee, carry out the duties specified in
those provisions).

In subsections (c)(3) and (d)(3) and (5) of this section, the references to the
defined term "participant" are substituted for the former references to
"prisoner" for consistency within this section.

In subsection (d)(1)(vi) of this section, the reference to "earned diminution
of an inmate's term of confinement" is substituted for the former reference
to "reduction in sentence" for consistency throughout this article. Similarly,
in subsection (d)(5) of this section, the reference to any earned diminution
of "the inmate's term of confinement" is substituted for the former
reference to any earned diminution of "sentence". See General Revisor's
Note to this article.

The references to regulations adopted under "this section" in subsection
(d)(1)(vi) of this section and the introductory language of subsection (d)(5)
of this section, respectively, are broader than the references in former Art.
27, § 645Y(c)(6) and former Art. 27, § 645Y(e), respectively, to regulations
adopted under "this section" because former Art. 27, § 645 is also revised in
this section. However, no substantive change is intended.

In subsection (d)(1)(vi), (2)(iii), and (5) of this section, the former references
to a "rule" are deleted as included in the references to "regulation".
Similarly, in subsection (d)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section, the former
references to "rules" that the Administrator is required to adopt are
deleted as included in the references to "regulations". See General
Revisor's Note to this article.

In subsections (d)(2)(iii) and (e)(1) of this section, the defined term "court"
is substituted for the former references to a "judge" for clarity and
consistency within this subtitle. See General Revisor's Note to this
subtitle.

In subsection (d)(4)(iii) of this section, the reference to the "Administrator
or designee" is added to state expressly that which was only implied in the
former law.

In subsection (d)(4)(iii)1 of this section, the reference to any "remaining"
balance is added for consistency throughout this subtitle. See, e.g., §§
