What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

Both things the section does: bar the Secretary from carrying out the named rule changes for a set period, and appropriate money to do so.

The five named regulation sections are listed in the summary rather than recorded one by one.

The section reaches a final rule at 88 Fed. Reg. 65230 and sections of title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations, neither of which is indexed here, so what those rules say cannot be checked against anything on this site.
