I move amendment No. 31:

In page 54, line 34, to delete "may" and substitute "shall".

The word "shall" is stronger than the word "may" and should be included in order that the phrase would read: ".the Agency shall consider and shall comply with such request.". Why move from a strong to a weaker word and back to the strong word again in this provision? The word "shall" should be inserted.
