What the document says
“This division may be cited as the ``Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026''.”
The closing line of division C, and the last line of section 5. It names the division, which by section 3 is what the phrase this Act means everywhere inside it.
What the document actually says
“This division may be cited as the ``Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026''.”
That sentence, in plain words

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check 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.
