The document says “shallWho acts: Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Secretary of AgricultureHow: statuteSec. 802 in the PDF
What the document says

“develop a process to designate a lead agency and streamline adoption of Environmental Impact Statements and Environmental Assessments approved by the other Department to construct housing projects funded by both agencies;”

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 802

The memorandum must set up a process for naming one lead agency and for adopting environmental impact statements and environmental assessments the other Department has approved, for housing projects both agencies fund.

What the document actually says

“develop a process to designate a lead agency and streamline adoption of Environmental Impact Statements and Environmental Assessments approved by the other Department to construct housing projects funded by both agencies;”

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 802
That sentence, in plain words

One agency must be named to lead. Papers approved by the other agency can then be taken on. That covers projects both agencies pay for.

What this is about

Two studies of the same project waste time. Naming a lead means only one is done. The other agency uses the same paper.

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, 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.
