To amend title 40, United States Code, to add certain counties to the definition of "Appalachian region".

Bill 118 hr 3052, also known as the "Appalachian Region Counties Act," aims to amend title 40 of the United States Code by adding certain counties to the definition of the "Appalachian region." The Appalachian region is a designated area in the United States that includes parts of 13 states and is known for its unique culture and economic challenges.

The proposed bill seeks to expand the boundaries of the Appalachian region by including additional counties that are currently not considered part of the region. By doing so, these counties would be eligible for federal funding and resources that are specifically allocated to support economic development and infrastructure projects in the Appalachian region.

The bill does not specify which counties would be added to the definition of the Appalachian region, but it is likely that the inclusion of these counties would help to address the economic disparities and challenges faced by communities in these areas. This expansion could potentially lead to increased investment, job creation, and overall improvement in the quality of life for residents in these counties. Overall, the "Appalachian Region Counties Act" aims to promote economic growth and development in underserved areas by expanding the definition of the Appalachian region to include additional counties that could benefit from federal assistance and support.
