“The term ``approved temperature sensor'' means an internet capable temperature reporting device able to measure ambient air temperature to the tenth degree Fahrenheit and Celsius selected from a list of such devices approved in advance by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.”
The section defines an approved temperature sensor as an internet capable device that reports ambient air temperature to a tenth of a degree in Fahrenheit and Celsius and comes from a list the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development has approved in advance.
What the document actually says
“The term ``approved temperature sensor'' means an internet capable temperature reporting device able to measure ambient air temperature to the tenth degree Fahrenheit and Celsius selected from a list of such devices approved in advance by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.”
That sentence, in plain words
The device must connect to the internet. It must read the air to a tenth of a degree. It must come from a list the housing agency has already approved.
What this is about
A definition sets the reach of a rule. A device that fails any part of this test does not count. The list is drawn up before the grants go out.
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.
