The document says “means”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 2 in the PDF
What the document says
“The term ``applicable Bureau office'' means-- (A) a Regional office of the Bureau; (B) an Agency office of the Bureau; or (C) a Land Titles and Records Office of the Bureau.”
The deadlines in section 3 run against an applicable Bureau office, and this definition fixes which offices those are: Regional, Agency, and Land Titles and Records offices.
What the document actually says
“The term ``applicable Bureau office'' means-- (A) a Regional office of the Bureau; (B) an Agency office of the Bureau; or (C) a Land Titles and Records Office of the Bureau.”
That sentence, in plain words
The law says BIA office. It means one of three kinds. One is a Regional office. One is an Agency office. One is a Land Titles and Records Office.
What this is about
The BIA is the Bureau of Indian Affairs. It runs many offices. Only these three kinds do the work in this law.
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.
