What the document says
“In preparing and submitting a report under subsection (e), the Secretary shall ensure that information that may jeopardize an ongoing investigation shall not be included in the contents of the report.”
Paragraph (4) of the new subsection. In preparing and submitting the report, the Secretary must ensure that information that may jeopardize an ongoing investigation is kept out of it. The paragraph does not say who makes that judgment and does not describe the investigations it covers.
What the document actually says
“In preparing and submitting a report under subsection (e), the Secretary shall ensure that information that may jeopardize an ongoing investigation shall not be included in the contents of the report.”
That sentence, in plain words
Facts that could harm a case still being worked on must be kept out of the report.
What this is about
Some cases are still open. Naming them in the report could get in the way.

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.
