Summary

Amends the law that governs the National Estuary Program by replacing the introductory text of the statutory subsection that precedes subparagraph (A) of 33 U.S.C. 1330(i)(1). The amendment strikes the current language and inserts new text, but the provided section does not include the new wording, effective dates, or any funding information. Because the replacement text and funding details are not shown, the practical effects on program rules, grant eligibility, funding levels, or deadlines cannot be determined from the text supplied.

Key Points

• Modifies the National Estuary Program statute by replacing the introductory text immediately before subparagraph (A) of 33 U.S.C. 1330(i)(1).
• The bill text provided removes existing wording and inserts new wording, but the replacement language is not included in the submission.
• No effective date, funding amounts, or implementation details are shown in the supplied section.
• Practical impacts on grants, eligibility, or program priorities cannot be determined without the new statutory text.
• Likely requires EPA administrative action (guidance or rulemaking) if the replacement text changes program authorities or requirements.
• A single-section change focused on statutory wording rather than a comprehensive or multi-topic package.
• Could affect state and local estuary management entities, coastal communities, and grant recipients depending on the omitted content.
