Plain-language change summary

The amendments to HR 3540 include changes to the responsibilities related to the office overseeing aspects of the Chesapeake Bay. The new text specifies that the office should incorporate observational data from the Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System, rather than incorporating the system itself into another network. These adjustments clarify the office's duties and focus on utilizing existing data for enhanced management of the Chesapeake Bay.
