Each agency is to streamline proposals and applications for these awards
The document says “shall”Who acts: Federal agenciesHow: statuteSec. 3 in the PDF
What the document says
“Each Federal agency shall implement streamlined processes and requirements for submitting proposals and applying for awards using funds made available under a strategic breakthrough allocation.”
Subparagraph (D) of the new paragraph directs each Federal agency to put in place streamlined processes and requirements for submitting proposals and applying for awards made with allocation funds. The paragraph does not say what a streamlined process is or set a date by which it is to exist.
What the document actually says
“Each Federal agency shall implement streamlined processes and requirements for submitting proposals and applying for awards using funds made available under a strategic breakthrough allocation.”
That sentence, in plain words
Each agency must make it simpler to apply. That covers sending in a plan and asking for the money.
What this is about
The law does not say what simpler means. It also gives no date. Each agency works that out.

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.
