What the document says
“quarterly fees payable under section 1930(a)(6) of title 28, United States Code, as amended by section 4, for disbursements made in any calendar quarter that begins on or after the date of enactment of this Act.”
The second limb of the same rule. Section 4 also applies to the quarterly fees owed under section 1930(a)(6) of title 28, United States Code, as this Act amends it, where the fee is for money paid out in a calendar quarter beginning on or after enactment.
What the document actually says
“quarterly fees payable under section 1930(a)(6) of title 28, United States Code, as amended by section 4, for disbursements made in any calendar quarter that begins on or after the date of enactment of this Act.”
That sentence, in plain words
This is about fees owed every three months. They go with money paid out in a quarter. The change reaches quarters that start after the signing.
What this is about
Money paid out in a case is called a disbursement. This law does not print how the fee is worked out. Quarters before the signing are not touched.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
