Statutory Notes

I'm trying to find a "definitive" answer on this, I've checked with the
Legislative Library on Capitol Hill in DC, The Commerce Committee who
authored the legislation and several libraries in my area, I'm trying to
find out what weight a statutory note has.

Specifically a section of a public law with specific provisions for taxation
by local entities, this section is not codified in the USC but does appear
in the USC as a note. The public law ect. in question is 104-104
Telecommunications Act of 1996 Title VI section 602, which if found in the
code at 47 USC 152 in note 30.

My question is does this language in the statutory note carry the same
weight as the code and if so what is the authority which states this?

Any guidance on this is greatly appreciated and I'll be happy to summarize
for the list.

TIA
