42 U.S.C. § 8904 — Implementation of comprehensive plan; new or existing regulatory authorities, etc., not granted or modified

(a) The comprehensive plan — once submitted in final form under section 8903(c)(3) — must be carried out over the nine fiscal years that follow the year it was submitted. Within that: (1) it must be carried out consistent with, and must meet the program goals listed in, paragraphs (1) through (11) of section 8903(b); (2) it must be managed consistent with paragraphs (12) through (14) of that same section; and (3) it must be funded through yearly appropriations, which depend on yearly authorizations under section 8905 — and those authorizations can only happen after the Task Force's progress report, required by section 8903(e), is submitted, which must happen by January 15 of the calendar year the relevant fiscal year begins.

(b) Nothing in this subchapter gives any agency new regulatory power, or limits, expands, or otherwise changes any regulatory authority that already exists under other law, or creates new criteria, standards, or requirements for regulation under existing law.
