That sentence, in plain words

The head of the VA must print the new amounts. They go in a daily government paper.

What this is about

The paper is the Federal Register. It is where agencies post what they do. A date is set by another law, and this part uses that same date.

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, 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.
