What the document says
“Each PDP sponsor shall furnish to the Secretary (at a time and in a manner specified by the Secretary) an annual certification of compliance with this subsection, as well as such information as the Secretary determines necessary to carry out this subsection.”
Each sponsor must give the Secretary an annual certification that it complies with the new subsection, in the time and manner the Secretary specifies, along with any information the Secretary finds necessary. The Secretary may implement this by program instruction or otherwise.
What the document actually says
“Each PDP sponsor shall furnish to the Secretary (at a time and in a manner specified by the Secretary) an annual certification of compliance with this subsection, as well as such information as the Secretary determines necessary to carry out this subsection.”
That sentence, in plain words
Each year the plan must certify to the health chief that it follows this part. The chief says when and how.
What this is about
A certification is a signed claim, made under threat of penalty. It puts the plan on record. That gives the agency something to act on.
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, 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.
