   (a)  for complementary State orders of transfer corresponding to
        transfer orders;

   (b)  for State orders of transfer providing for the transfer of State
        prisoners from a State to another State or to a Territory; or

   (c)  of a kind similar to Part V or section 31 in relation to persons-

        (i)    who are State prisoners or are joint prisoners in their
               capacity as persons upon whom State sentences of imprisonment
               have been imposed; and

        (ii)   who are transferred to that State in pursuance of a transfer
               order, a State order of transfer, or both.
