What the document says

“For procurement, acquisition and construction of capital assets, including alteration and modification costs, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, $1,576,899,000, to remain available until September 30, 2028”

Making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5

The capital account of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Money for satellites, vessels, aircraft and construction of facilities remains available until spent rather than expiring in 2028, and a further $13,000,000 comes from recoveries of prior year obligations.

What the document actually says

“For procurement, acquisition and construction of capital assets, including alteration and modification costs, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, $1,576,899,000, to remain available until September 30, 2028”

Making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5
That sentence, in plain words

This gives $1,576,899,000 to buy big things. It can be used until September 30, 2028. Money for ships and satellites has no end date.

What this is about

Satellites and ships take years to build. So this money is allowed to sit longer than most. Section 544 moves another $44,000,000 into this account.

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.

How to Read This Page

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.
