HHS, Defense or Veterans Affairs must verify the information on request
What the document says“``(ii) Verification of information by hhs or va.--Upon request from the Attorney General, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Department of Defense, or the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, as appropriate, shall verify information submitted by an applicant under clause (i)(III).”
Where the Attorney General asks, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Department of Defense or the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, whichever is the right one, must verify what an applicant said to show the research falls in the category described in paragraph (2).
What the document actually says“``(ii) Verification of information by hhs or va.--Upon request from the Attorney General, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Department of Defense, or the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, as appropriate, shall verify information submitted by an applicant under clause (i)(III).”
The Attorney General can ask a department to check the facts. The department must then check them.
The facts are the ones in the notice. They show who pays for the work. The department that pays is the one that checks.
