Federal waterway restriction is defined

What the document says
“The term ``Federal waterway restriction'' means a restriction on the access or use of a Federal waterway applied under applicable law by 1 or more of the Secretaries.”
Defines Federal waterway restriction as a restriction on access to or use of a Federal waterway, applied by one or more of the Secretaries under applicable law. The restriction has its source in that other law, not in this Act.
What the document actually says
“The term ``Federal waterway restriction'' means a restriction on the access or use of a Federal waterway applied under applicable law by 1 or more of the Secretaries.”
That sentence, in plain words
A waterway rule limits who may reach the water. It can limit how the water is used. One or both Secretaries set it under some other law.
What this is about
This law does not add new limits on water use. It asks for limits that exist to be put on maps. Section 4 lists what those maps must show.
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.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check 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.
