Section 103 gains the short titles and a corrected cross reference
The document says “is amended”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 6 in the PDF
What the document says
“(1) striking ``Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration'' and inserting ``Under Secretary''; (2) striking ``Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency'' and inserting ``EPA Administrator''; and (3) in subsection (e)(3) by striking ``section 3'' and inserting ``section 101''.”
Three changes to section 103 of the Marine Debris Act. The Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration becomes the Under Secretary, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency becomes the EPA Administrator, and a cross reference in subsection (e)(3) is changed from section 3 to section 101, the number section 2 of this Act gives that section.
What the document actually says
“(1) striking ``Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration'' and inserting ``Under Secretary''; (2) striking ``Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency'' and inserting ``EPA Administrator''; and (3) in subsection (e)(3) by striking ``section 3'' and inserting ``section 101''.”
That sentence, in plain words
Two long job titles are cut down to short ones. A pointer to part 3 now points to part 101.
What this is about
Part 3 of the old law is now part 101. So the pointer had to change. The two short titles get their meaning from part 5.
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.
