The words ‘‘submitted with the request contains obligations consistent with’’ are substituted for ‘‘furnished therewith consists of valid obligations as defined in’’ for clarity and because of the restatement. The words ‘‘The head of the agency shall support the report with a certification of the consistency’’ are sub- stituted for ‘‘Each report made pursuant to subsection (b) of this section shall be supported by certifications’’ in 31:200(c) for clarity. The words ‘‘duty to make cer- tifications’’ are substituted for ‘‘responsibility’’ for consistency. In subsection (d)(1), the words ‘‘its missions’’ are sub- stituted for ‘‘its assigned mission’’, and the words ‘‘the mission’’ are substituted for ‘‘mission responsibilities’’, to eliminate unnecessary words.
