The Secretary must review the data on scheduling these products
The document says “shall”Who acts: Secretary of Health and Human ServicesHow: statuteSec. 209 in the PDF
What the document says
“review the relevant data pertaining to the scheduling of products containing a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone that have been approved under section 505 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355)”
The section directs the Secretary to review, consistent with sections 201 and 202 of the Controlled Substances Act, the data on the scheduling of approved products combining buprenorphine and naloxone.
What the document actually says
“review the relevant data pertaining to the scheduling of products containing a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone that have been approved under section 505 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355)”
That sentence, in plain words
The Secretary must look at the data. The data is about how these drugs are listed. The drugs mix buprenorphine and naloxone.
What this is about
Federal law sorts controlled drugs into lists called schedules. The list a drug is on sets how tightly it is held. This pair of drugs is used to treat addiction.

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.
