A process for naming a lead agency and adopting the other's documents is required
The document says “shall”Who 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;”
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;”
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.

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page

not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
