Those activities would be implemented by the Director of the National Institutes of Health, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration.

As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on May 16, 2012

H.R. 3973 would make several changes related to environmental laws, energy programs, and the management of mineral resources on Native American reservations. CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost $58 million over the 2013-2017 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts.
