What the document says
“Nothing in this section shall prevent a review under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).”
The section provides that nothing in it prevents a review under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).
What the document actually says
“Nothing in this section shall prevent a review under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).”
That sentence, in plain words
Nothing here stops a review under an older law. That law covers effects on the environment.
What this is about
The review may still go ahead. This part does not switch it off. What the older law requires 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.
