2Reauthorization of EPA programs to combat plastic waste
This section would amend section 302(g) of the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act (33 U.S.C. 4282(g)), making the same two changes in both paragraph (1) and paragraph (2) of that section. First, the word "in" would be added after the word "described" in each paragraph, a wording adjustment to the existing text. Second, the year "2025" in each paragraph would be replaced with "2030," extending by five years the authorization for the EPA programs to combat plastic waste that are addressed in those paragraphs.
