Amends provisions authorizing Long Island Sound grants by striking "2019 through 2023" and inserting "2025 through 2029" (also applied to the matter preceding paragraph (1) of section 11(a) of the Long Island Sound Stewardship Act of 2006, cited to 33 U.S.C. 1269).
Redesignates paragraph (4) of subsection (g) as paragraph (3).
Extends the authorized funding period for Long Island Sound grant programs and Long Island Sound stewardship grants from the prior 2019–2023 window to a new 2025–2029 period, and makes a small numbering/redesignation fix in the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. The change preserves authority for grant-making and stewardship activities focused on the Long Island Sound region by updating the statute to reflect a new multi-year authorization timeframe. This is a narrowly focused technical update: it does not create new programs or change eligibility or funding levels, but it keeps the existing Long Island Sound programs authorized for future grant cycles and corrects a paragraph designation in federal law.
Amends Section 119(h) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act by striking "2019 through 2023" and inserting "2025 through 2029", thereby changing the authorized period for Long Island Sound grants.
Amends Section 11(a) of the Long Island Sound Stewardship Act of 2006 (in the matter preceding paragraph (1)) by striking "2019 through 2023" and inserting "2025 through 2029", thereby changing the authorized period for Long Island Sound stewardship grants.
Technical amendment to Section 119(g) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act: redesignates paragraph (4) as paragraph (3).
Primary effects: local governments, nonprofit organizations, coastal communities, and other Long Island Sound stakeholders that participate in or benefit from Long Island Sound grants and stewardship activities. By renewing the statutory authorization period, the law allows federal agencies and program managers to plan and continue grant competitions and stewardship activities tied to the Long Island Sound program. Practically, recipients and prospective applicants retain the legal authority for these programs to operate in coming years, though actual grant awards depend on future appropriations and program administration. The numbering redesignation is an administrative cleanup with no direct programmatic impact. Agencies administering the program (and their grant management staff) may need to update statutory citations in guidance and documents.
