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”
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”
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.

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.
