The document says “is amended”Who acts: Secretary of AgricultureHow: statuteSec. 10401 in the PDF
What the document says
“in paragraph (2)(B), by striking "15 percent (adjusted for normal mortality)" and inserting "normal mortality"; and”
The section amends section 1501(e) of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (7 U.S.C. 9081(e)) by replacing the 15 percent thresholds with normal mortality in paragraph (2)(B) and paragraph (3)(A)(i), by replacing the words about 15 percent damage or mortality with normal tree damage or mortality in paragraph (3)(B), and by striking 50 and inserting 65 in that same subparagraph.
What the document actually says
“in paragraph (2)(B), by striking "15 percent (adjusted for normal mortality)" and inserting "normal mortality"; and”
That sentence, in plain words
Words setting a 15 percent test are taken out. The words normal mortality are put in.
What this is about
The same swap is made in two more spots. A number in the rule also moves from 50 to 65. What that number counts is not recorded here.

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.
