Standard Summary

Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

H. Res. 492 is a House resolution that directs the Clerk of the House to make specific textual corrections in the engrossment of H.R. 1. The corrections are technical and housekeeping in nature, aimed at cleaning up drafting, removing certain provisions or subsections, and standardizing language across the bill. Several edits strike entire sections, while others remove references to future or successor regulations and modify certain lease terms under the Mineral Leasing Act. Overall, the measure does not create new policy; it ensures the final, engrossed language of H.R. 1 reflects the intended content and clarifies or narrows certain regulatory references.

Key Points

1Several provisions are to be struck or removed in the engrossment (e.g., sections 20012, 80131, and 112205), reducing the scope of those portions in the final text.
2A series of edits remove references to “or any successor regulation” from multiple sections (including sections related to Social Security Act provisions), simplifying regulatory language and potentially narrowing the reference to current regulations only.
3Section 80101(c)(1) is amended to add a new paragraph (2) clarifying lease terms under the Mineral Leasing Act: leases must include terms and conditions of the applicable land use plan and shall not require stipulations or mitigation not in the land use plan.
4Several editorial adjustments are made in sections involving program headings and phrasing (e.g., section 10004(a) wording; removal of certain phrases in sections 10106, 20005, 20008(a), 20009, etc.) to streamline the language.
5The resolution is a procedural instruction to the Clerk and does not introduce new policy provisions beyond the specified textual corrections.

Impact Areas

Primary: House staff and lawmakers involved in drafting and enacting H.R. 1, since the corrections affect the precise wording and structure of the engrossed bill.Secondary: Provisions related to Social Security Act regulations and related programs, where removing “or any successor regulation” references may limit the scope to current regulations, potentially impacting regulatory flexibility.Additional: For stakeholders affected by the Mineral Leasing Act amendments, the clarified lease terms could influence how leases are issued and what land use plan conditions may apply, aligning lease requirements more closely with the land use plan. Since these are corrections to engrossment, the substantive policy of H.R. 1 remains as drafted, with changes limited to drafting and wording.
