Title 42 · §7406
REPORT TO THE CONGRESS.
The Corporation must send a report within 60 days after April 7, 1986 to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and to the House Committees on Energy and Commerce and on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs. The report must review how the Corporation carried out its Phase I Business Plan from February 19, 1985 and must meet the requirements of section 126(b)(3) of the Energy Security Act (42 U.S.C. 8722(b)(3)).
Title 42 · §7405
SALARIES AND COMPENSATION RIGHTS.
The Director of the Office of Personnel Management must, before February 1, 1986, figure out how much pay or benefits each Director, officer, or employee of the Corporation is legally entitled to under any contract as of Apr. 7, 1986. Starting on Apr. 7, 1986, no changes to their pay or benefits are allowed unless that Director agrees the change is reasonable. Also starting on Apr. 7, 1986, no officer or employee may be paid more than the basic pay for level IV of the Executive Schedule under title 5 of the United States Code. The Corporation may not waive by-law or written personnel rules needed for someone to qualify for pension or termination benefits as they existed on Apr. 7, 1986.
Title 42 · §7404
DUTIES OF SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
The Secretary of the Treasury must become the Chairman of the Corporation’s board within 60 days after the law was passed on April 7, 1986, or sooner if there is no Chairman. The Secretary can negotiate and sign changes to an existing contract for making synthetic crude oil from oil shale (a contract from the 1980 Defense Production Act Amendments that was moved to Treasury). Any change must be revenue neutral or save the government money. Changes cannot raise the government’s total financial exposure, increase the total funds originally authorized, or increase or speed up the support paid per unit of fuel. Duties the Secretary has under subtitle J of part B of title I of the Energy Security Act or under this Act cannot be moved to another federal department or agency. Even if the Corporation ends, the Advisory Committee created by section 123 of the Energy Security Act must keep advising the Secretary about contracts under subtitle D of part B of title I. If the Secretary must act under section 131(q) about a financial award or commitment, that action must be finished within 30 days of April 7, 1986.
Title 42 · §7403
TERMINATION OF THE CORPORATION.
Directors must end their duties and be discharged within 60 days after April 7, 1986. The Corporation must terminate within 120 days after April 7, 1986, except as this subtitle allows, under 42 U.S.C. 8791–8793.
Title 42 · §7402
CESSATION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AUTHORITY.
As of April 7, 1986, the United States Synthetic Fuels Corporation must stop making any new legally binding awards, commitments, or changes to awards for synthetic fuel projects under the Energy Security Act. Awards or commitments that were legally made before April 7, 1986, and the rights and duties of the Corporation, its Board or Chairman, and project sponsors to carry them out remain unchanged.

Title 40 · §3318
Availability of Federal building project information
The Administrator must put all prospectuses submitted under sections 3307 and 3316, plus related documents, on a Public subpage of the General Services Administration website. This must happen within 180 days of the law and then at least every quarter. The site must be easy to use, searchable, downloadable, and kept current. It must keep records for at least 10 years and show the last update date, committee approval dates and copies of those resolutions when applicable, links to resubmitted or changed prospectuses, and any other information the Administrator adds. Definitions: "prospectus" — prospectuses, building surveys, and factsheets; "committees of jurisdiction" — House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works; "associated information" — committee-approved resolutions and other materials required above.
Title 16 · §1274
Component rivers and adjacent lands
Names and protects many specific river stretches and the land next to them by making them parts of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Each named stretch is assigned to be run by either the Secretary of Agriculture or the Secretary of the Interior (sometimes both). Each segment is labeled as wild, scenic, or recreational depending on how it looks and is used. Agencies must set exact boundaries for each river within one year of its listing (unless a different date is given). Those boundaries normally must average no more than 320 acres per mile measured from the ordinary high water mark on both sides. Agencies must publish the boundaries and class choices in the Federal Register and they do not take effect until 90 days after Congress is told. Maps and classification descriptions must be available to the public at the agency offices in Washington, D.C., and near the rivers. For rivers listed on or after January 1, 1986, the responsible agency must prepare a detailed management plan within 3 full fiscal years after designation; for rivers listed before that date, boundaries, classes, and plans must be reviewed for conformity within 10 years. Some river listings also include specific funding limits or special rules (for example, Chattooga River: up to $5,200,000 for land and $809,000 for development; Flathead: up to $6,719,000 for land with funds not available before October 1, 1977; Pere Marquette: up to $8,125,000 for land and $402,000 for development).
