What the document says
“``(1) Recommendations of board regarding appointments.--For appointments made under paragraph (2), the Board shall submit to the Under Secretary recommendations on candidates for appointment.''”
A new paragraph (1) inserted at the head of section 112(b) of the Marine Debris Act. For the appointments made under the paragraph that follows it, the Board must send the Under Secretary its recommendations on candidates. The paragraphs that were (1) through (5) become (2) through (6).
What the document actually says
“``(1) Recommendations of board regarding appointments.--For appointments made under paragraph (2), the Board shall submit to the Under Secretary recommendations on candidates for appointment.''”
That sentence, in plain words
The Board must send in names. It sends them to the Under Secretary. They are names of people who could be picked.
What this is about
The Board runs the Foundation. The rule after this one covers how members are picked. This rule is new: the Board now says who it wants.
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.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check 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.
