Summary

Carry out the comprehensive plan for the nine fiscal years after the fiscal year when the final plan is submitted. The plan must meet the program’s 11 listed objectives and follow the three listed management rules. Pay for the plan with annual appropriations and annual authorizations for each program year. Those authorizations come only after a Task Force progress report is filed by January 15 of the calendar year that begins the fiscal year. Nothing here creates new regulatory power or changes existing rules or standards.
