What the document actually says
“The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Director of the Bureau of Land Management.”
That sentence, in plain words
When this law says Secretary, it means the head of the Interior Department. That person acts through the head of a land agency.
What this is about
The land agency is the Bureau of Land Management. It looks after public land for the whole country. The law names it so we know who must do the work.

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.
