What the document says
“Nothing in this paragraph may be construed to limit the authority of the Attorney General to set additional adjudication and naturalization fees in accordance with section 286(m).”
The section strikes the sentence beginning Such fees shall not exceed and everything after it, and inserts a clause providing that nothing in the paragraph limits the Attorney General's authority to set further adjudication and naturalization fees under section 286(m).
What the document actually says
“Nothing in this paragraph may be construed to limit the authority of the Attorney General to set additional adjudication and naturalization fees in accordance with section 286(m).”
That sentence, in plain words
This part does not limit one power. It is the power to set further fees.
What this is about
Those are fees for rulings and for becoming a citizen. An older rule governs them. A cap that stood before is struck.

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.
