2Timing of approval of wildlife conservation and restoration program
This section would amend section 4(e)(3) of the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. 669c(e)(3)), which covers the Secretary of the Interior's review of a State's comprehensive wildlife conservation and restoration plan. The existing rule on approving the State's program would be labeled subparagraph (A), and it would gain a deadline: the Secretary would have to approve the State's wildlife conservation and restoration program, and set aside the funding amounts tied to that approval, not later than 180 days after the date the State submitted its comprehensive plan. The words "as redesignated" would be removed from that provision. A new subparagraph (B) would be added: if the Secretary finds that a State's comprehensive plan complies with paragraph (1) but does not approve the State's program under subparagraph (A) within the 180-day period, the State's program would be automatically deemed approved as of the date that 180-day period ends, and the Secretary would still have to set aside the funding amounts described in subparagraph (A).
