Plain-language change summary

The amendments to H. Res. 1248 remove specific references to the implications of funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund and support for state and local governments. Additionally, they omit any mention of the implications of increasing dependence on foreign sources of oil or natural gas. These changes clarify the focus of the resolution on lease sales and management processes without addressing the broader financial impacts previously included.
