Tariff-rate quota adjustments are narrowed to a sole purpose
The document says “is amended”Who acts: Secretary of AgricultureHow: statuteSec. 10312 in the PDF
What the document says
“is amended, in the matter preceding subparagraph (A), by striking "if there is an" and inserting "for the sole purpose of responding directly to an".”
The section strikes the words if there is an and inserts the words for the sole purpose of responding directly to an in the matter preceding subparagraph (A) of section 359k(b)(1) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 (7 U.S.C. 1359kk(b)(1)). It also strikes 2023 and inserts 2031 in section 359l(a) of that Act (7 U.S.C. 1359ll(a)).
What the document actually says
“is amended, in the matter preceding subparagraph (A), by striking "if there is an" and inserting "for the sole purpose of responding directly to an".”
That sentence, in plain words
Four words are taken out of an older law. A longer phrase is put in. It says the power is for one purpose only.
What this is about
The older rule let the Secretary change import quotas. The new words tie that power to one aim. What the older rule says in full is not recorded here.
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, checked against 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.
