The designation does not apply where another procedure is specified in law
What the document says“The designation described in subsection (a) shall not apply to assistance for which a procedure for carrying out the responsibilities of the Secretary under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), and other provisions of law that further the purposes of such Act, is otherwise specified in law.”
The new section 13 provides that the designation does not apply to assistance for which the law already specifies a procedure for carrying out the Secretary's responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.
What the document actually says“The designation described in subsection (a) shall not apply to assistance for which a procedure for carrying out the responsibilities of the Secretary under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), and other provisions of law that further the purposes of such Act, is otherwise specified in law.”
Sometimes a law already says how a review must be done. In that case this label does not apply. The older steps stay in place.
An exception marks where a rule stops. The label is a shortcut. Where Congress already picked a path, the shortcut is off.
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.
