Sec. 8. (a) An act and any regulation or other action made, prescribed, issued, granted, or performed in respect of or by any agency or function affected by a reorganization under this chapter, before the effective date of the reorganization, shall, except to the extent rescinded, modified, superseded, or made inapplicable by or under authority of law or by the abolition of a function, have the same effect as if the reorganization had not been made. If any such act, regulation, or other action has vested the function in the agency from which it is removed under the plan, the function shall, insofar as it is to be exercised after the plan becomes effective, be considered as vested in the agency under which the function is placed by the plan.

     (b) As used in this section, “regulation or other action” means any regulation, rule, order, policy, determination, directive, authorization, permit, privilege, requirement, designation, or other action.
