What the document says
“Section 8302(b) of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (16 U.S.C. 3851a(b)) shall be applied by substituting ``October 1, 2026'' for ``October 1, 2023''.”
Section 5003 directs that section 8302(b) of the Agricultural Act of 2014 be applied with October 1, 2026 in place of October 1, 2023. The heading names the Forest Service and the ACES program as the subject.
What the document actually says
“Section 8302(b) of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (16 U.S.C. 3851a(b)) shall be applied by substituting ``October 1, 2026'' for ``October 1, 2023''.”
That sentence, in plain words
Read one part of the 2014 farm law as if the date in it were October 1, 2026, not October 1, 2023.
What this is about
The heading points at the Forest Service and a program called ACES. This part does one thing. It swaps an old date for a later one.

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.
