Summary
This bill requires specified agencies in the executive branch of the federal government to conduct a study on duplicative functions.
Specifically, such agencies (which include the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, and Transportation, and the Environmental Protection Agency) must

Such agencies must jointly submit a consolidated report to Congress on the results.
