The new section 124 requires the Secretary to publish, within 30 days of enactment, a Federal Register notice setting out the latest formula allocation methods used to estimate unmet needs in the most impacted and distressed areas. Unless comment has already been sought, the Secretary must seek public comment on the methods and alternatives, their effect on rural and Tribal areas, adjustments to target the most serious needs, objective criteria for grantee capacity and minimum thresholds, and research informing an added amount for mitigation of up to 18 percent of estimated unmet needs.

What the document actually says

That sentence, in plain words

The housing agency must publish its method within 30 days. It goes in the Federal Register. The method works out how much unmet need a disaster left behind. That covers homes, jobs, and roads and pipes.

What this is about

The Federal Register is the daily notice paper of the government. People may write in about the method. They can speak up for country and tribal areas.
