    in section 133(b) of title 23, United States Code.

        (a) Coordinated Environmental Review Process.--
            (1) Development and implementation.--The Secretary shall
        develop and implement a coordinated environmental review process
        for highway construction projects that require--
                (A) the preparation of an environmental impact statement or
            environmental assessment under the National Environmental
            Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), except that the
            Secretary may decide not to apply this section to the
            preparation of an environmental assessment under such Act; or
                (B) the conduct of any other environmental review,
            analysis, opinion, or issuance of an environmental permit,
            license, or approval by operation of Federal law.
            (2) Memorandum of understanding.--
                (A) In general.--The coordinated environmental review
            process for each project shall ensure that, whenever
            practicable (as specified in this section), all environmental
            reviews, analyses, opinions, and any permits, licenses, or
            approvals that must be issued or made by any Federal agency for
            the project concerned shall be conducted concurrently and
            completed within a cooperatively determined time period. Such
            process for a project or class of project may be incorporated
            into a memorandum of understanding between the Department of
            Transportation and Federal agencies (and, where appropriate,
            State agencies).
                (B) Establishment of time periods.--In establishing the
            time period referred to in subparagraph (A), and any time
            periods for review within such period, the Department and all
            such agencies shall take into account their respective
            resources and statutory commitments.
        (b) Elements of Coordinated Environmental Review Process.--For each
    project, the coordinated environmental review process established under
    this section shall provide, at a minimum, for the following elements:
            (1) Federal agency identification.--The Secretary shall, at the
        earliest possible time, identify all potential Federal agencies
        that--
                (A) have jurisdiction by law over environmental-related
            issues that may be affected by the project and the analysis of
            which would be part of any environmental document required by
            the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321
            et seq.); or
                (B) may be required by Federal law to independently--
                    (i) conduct an environmental-related review or
                analysis; or
                    (ii) determine whether to issue a permit, license, or
                approval or render an opinion on the environmental impact
                of the project.
            (2) Time limitations and concurrent review.--The Secretary and
        the head of each Federal agency identified under paragraph (1)--
                (A)(i) shall jointly develop and establish time periods for
            review for--
                    (I) all Federal agency comments with respect to any
                environmental review documents required by the National
                Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.)
                for the project; and
                    (II) all other independent Federal agency environmental
                analyses, reviews, opinions, and decisions on any permits,
                licenses, and approvals that must be issued or made for the
                project;
            whereby each such Federal agency's review shall be undertaken
            and completed within such established time periods for review;
            or
                (ii) may enter into an agreement to establish such time
            periods for review with respect to a class of project; and
                (B) shall ensure, in establishing such time periods for
            review, that the conduct of any such analysis, review, opinion,
            and decision is undertaken concurrently with all other
            environmental reviews for the project, including the reviews
            required by the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
            U.S.C. 4321 et seq.); except that such review may not be
            concurrent if the affected Federal agency can demonstrate that
            such concurrent review would result in a significant adverse
            impact to the environment or substantively alter the operation
            of Federal law or would not be possible without information
            developed as part of the environmental review process.
            (3) Factors to be considered.--Time periods for review
        established under this section shall be consistent with the time
        periods established by the Council on Environmental Quality under
        sections 1501.8 and 1506.10 of title 40, Code of Federal
        Regulations.
            (4) Extensions.--The Secretary shall extend any time periods
        for review under this section if, upon good cause shown, the
        Secretary and any Federal agency concerned determine that
        additional time for analysis and review is needed as a result of
        new information that has been discovered that could not reasonably
        have been anticipated when the Federal agency's time periods for
        review were established. Any memorandum of understanding shall be
        modified to incorporate any mutually agreed-upon extensions.
        (c) Dispute Resolution.--When the Secretary determines that a
    Federal agency which is subject to a time period for its environmental
    review or analysis under this section has failed to complete such
    review, analysis, opinion, or decision on issuing any permit, license,
    or approval within the established time period or within any agreed-
    upon extension to such time period, the Secretary may, after notice and
    consultation with such agency, close the record on the matter before
    the Secretary. If the Secretary finds, after timely compliance with
    this section, that an environmental issue related to the project that
    an affected Federal agency has jurisdiction over by operation of
    Federal law has not been resolved, the Secretary and the head of the
    Federal agency shall resolve the matter not later than 30 days after
    the date of the finding by the Secretary.
        (d) Participation of State Agencies.--For any project eligible for
    assistance under chapter 1 of title 23, United States Code, a State, by
    operation of State law, may require that all State agencies that have
    jurisdiction by State or Federal law over environmental-related issues
    that may be affected by the project, or that are required to issue any
    environmental-related reviews, analyses, opinions, or determinations on
    issuing any permits, licenses, or approvals for the project, be subject
    to the coordinated environmental review process established under this
    section unless the Secretary determines that a State's participation
    would not be in the public interest. For a State to require State
    agencies to participate in the review process, all affected agencies of
    the State shall be subject to the review process.
        (e) Assistance to Affected Federal Agencies.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary may approve a request by a State
        to provide funds made available under chapter 1 of title 23, United
        States Code, to the State for the project subject to the
        coordinated environmental review process established under this
        section to affected Federal agencies to provide the resources
        necessary to meet any time limits established under this section.
            (2) Amounts.--Such requests under paragraph (1) shall be
        approved only--
                (A) for the additional amounts that the Secretary
            determines are necessary for the affected Federal agencies to
            meet the time limits for environmental review; and
                (B) if such time limits are less than the customary time
            necessary for such review.
        (f) Judicial Review and Savings Clause.--
            (1) Judicial review.--Nothing in this section shall affect the
        reviewability of any final Federal agency action in a district
        court of the United States or in the court of any State.
            (2) Savings clause.--Nothing in this section shall affect the
        applicability of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
        U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) or any other Federal environmental statute or
        affect the responsibility of any Federal officer to comply with or
        enforce any such statute.
        (g) Federal Agency Defined.--In this section, the term ``Federal
    agency'' means any Federal agency or any State agency carrying out
    affected responsibilities required by operation of Federal law.

    SEC. 1310. UNIFORM TRANSFERABILITY OF FEDERAL-AID HIGHWAY FUNDS.

        (a) In General.--Chapter 1 of title 23, United States Code, is
    amended by inserting after section 109 the following:

        CHAPTER 1--TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCE AND INNOVATION

    SEC. 1501. SHORT TITLE.

        This chapter may be cited as the ``Transportation Infrastructure
    Finance and Innovation Act of 1998''.

    SEC. 1502. FINDINGS.

        Congress finds that--
            (1) a well-developed system of transportation infrastructure is
        critical to the economic well-being, health, and welfare of the
        people of the United States;
            (2) traditional public funding techniques such as grant
        programs are unable to keep pace with the infrastructure investment
        needs of the United States because of budgetary constraints at the
        Federal, State, and local levels of government;
            (3) major transportation infrastructure facilities that address
        critical national needs, such as intermodal facilities, border
        crossings, and multistate trade corridors, are of a scale that
        exceeds the capacity of Federal and State assistance programs in
        effect on the date of enactment of this Act;
            (4) new investment capital can be attracted to infrastructure
        projects that are capable of generating their own revenue streams
        through user charges or other dedicated funding sources; and
            (5) a Federal credit program for projects of national
        significance can complement existing funding resources by filling
        market gaps, thereby leveraging substantial private co-investment.

    SEC. 1503. ESTABLISHMENT OF PROGRAM.

        (a) In General.--Chapter 1 of title 23, United States Code, is
    amended by adding at the end the following:

    SEC. 3032. CONTRACTING OUT STUDY.

        (a) Study.--Not later than 3 months after the date of enactment of
    this Act, the Secretary shall enter into an agreement with the
    Transportation Research Board of the National Academy of Sciences to
    conduct a study of the effect of contracting out mass transportation
    operation and administrative functions on cost, availability and level
    of service, efficiency, safety, quality of services provided to
    transit-dependent populations, and employer-employee relations.
        (b) Terms of Agreement.--The agreement entered into in subsection
    (a) shall provide that--
            (1) the Transportation Research Board, in conducting the study,
        consider the number of grant recipients that have contracted out
        services, the size of the population served by such grant
        recipients, the basis for decisions regarding contracting out, and
        the extent to which contracting out was affected by the integration
        and coordination of resources of transit agencies and other Federal
        agencies and programs; and
            (2) the panel conducting the study shall include
        representatives of transit agencies, employees of transit agencies,
        private contractors, academic and policy analysts, and other
        interested persons.
        (c) Report.--Not later than 24 months after the date of entry into
    the agreement under subsection (a), the Secretary shall transmit to the
    Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of
    Representatives and the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban
    Affairs of the Senate a report containing the results of the study.
        (d) Funding.--There shall be available from the Mass Transit
    Account of the Highway Trust Fund to carry out this section $250,000
    for fiscal year 1998.
        (e) Contractual Obligation.--Entry into an agreement to carry out

    the Government's share of the cost of the study.

    SEC. 3033. URBANIZED AREA FORMULA STUDY.

        (a) Study.--The Secretary shall conduct a study to determine
    whether the formula for apportioning funds to urbanized areas under
    section 5336 of title 49, United States Code, accurately reflects the
    transit needs of the urbanized areas and, if not, whether any changes
    should be made either to the formula or through some other mechanism to
    reflect the fact that some urbanized areas with a population between
    50,000 and 200,000 have transit systems that carry more passengers per
    mile or hour than the average of those transit systems in urbanized
    areas with a population over 200,000.
        (b) Report.--Not later than December 31, 1999, the Secretary shall
    transmit to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the
    House of Representatives and the Committee on Banking, Housing, and
    Urban Affairs of the Senate a report on the results of the study

    emergency transportation services.
        (b) Contents.--In conducting the study, the Comptroller General
    shall--
            (1) identify each Federal department and agency (other than the
        Department of Transportation) that has received Federal financial
        assistance for non-emergency transportation services in any of the
        3 fiscal years preceding the date of enactment of this Act;
            (2) identify the amount of such assistance received by each
        Federal department and agency in such fiscal years; and
            (3) identify the projects and activities funded using such
        financial assistance.
        (c) Report.--Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of
    this Act, the Comptroller General shall transmit to the Committee on
    Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives and
    the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate a
    report containing the results of the study and any recommendations for
    enhanced coordination between the Department of Transportation and
    other Federal departments and agencies that provide funding for non-
    emergency transportation.

    SEC. 3035. FINAL ASSEMBLY OF BUSES.

        (a) In General.--All buses manufactured on or after September 1,
    1999, that are purchased with Federal funds by recipients of assistance
    from the Federal Transit Administration shall conform with the Federal
    Transit Administration Guidance on Buy America Requirements, dated

    SEC. 3036. CLEAN FUEL VEHICLES.

        (a) Study.--The Comptroller General shall conduct a study of the
    various low and zero emission fuel technologies for transit vehicles,
    including compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, biodiesel
    fuel, battery, alcohol based fuel, hybrid electric, fuel cell, and
    clean diesel to determine--
            (1) the status of the development and use of such technologies;
            (2) the environmental benefits of such technologies under the
        Clean Air Act; and
            (3) the cost of such technologies and any associated equipment.
        (b) Report.--Not later than January 1, 2000, the Comptroller

    SEC. 3037. JOB ACCESS AND REVERSE COMMUTE GRANTS.

        (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) two-thirds of all new jobs are in the suburbs, whereas
        three-quarters of welfare recipients live in rural areas or central
        cities;
            (2) even in metropolitan areas with excellent public transit
        systems, less than half of the jobs are accessible by transit;
            (3) in 1991, the median price of a new car was equivalent to 25
        weeks of salary for the average worker, and considerably more for
        the low-income worker;
            (4) not less than 9,000,000 households and 10,000,000 Americans
        of driving age, most of whom are low-income workers, do not own
        cars;
            (5) 94 percent of welfare recipients do not own cars;
            (6) nearly 40 percent of workers with annual incomes below
        $10,000 do not commute by car;
            (7) many of the 2,000,000 Americans who will have their
        Temporary Assistance to Needy Families grants (under the State
        program funded under part A of title IV of the Social Security Act
        (42 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)) terminated by the year 2002 will be unable
        to get to jobs they could otherwise hold;
            (8) increasing the transit options for low-income workers,
        especially those who are receiving or who have recently received
        welfare benefits, will increase the likelihood of those workers
        getting and keeping jobs; and
            (9) many residents of cities and rural areas would like to take
        advantage of mass transit to gain access to suburban employment
        opportunities.
        (b) Definitions.--In this section, the following definitions shall
    apply:
            (1) Eligible low-income individual.--The term ``eligible low-

            make access to jobs grants for--
                    (i) capital projects and to finance operating costs of
                equipment, facilities, and associated capital maintenance
                items related to providing access to jobs under this
                section;
                    (ii) promoting the use of transit by workers with

                income individuals under specific terms and conditions
                developed by the Secretary; and
                    (iv) promoting the use of employer-provided

            project to--
                    (i) subsidize the costs associated with adding reverse
                commute bus, train, carpool, van routes, or service from
                urban areas, urbanized areas, and areas other than
                urbanized areas, to suburban workplaces;
                    (ii) subsidize the purchase or lease by a nonprofit
                organization or public agency of a van or bus dedicated to

    SEC. 5213. REPEAL.

        The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 is
    amended by striking part B of title VI (23 U.S.C. 307 note; 105 Stat.
    2189).

                TITLE VI--OZONE AND PARTICULATE MATTER STANDARDS

    SEC. 6101. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

        (a) The Congress finds that--
            (1) there is a lack of air quality monitoring data for fine
        particle levels, measured as PM<INF>2.5</INF>, in the United States
        and the States should receive full funding for the monitoring
        efforts;
            (2) such data would provide a basis for designating areas as
        attainment or nonattainment for any PM<INF>2.5</INF> national
        ambient air quality standards pursuant to the standards promulgated
        in July 1997;
            (3) the President of the United States directed the
        Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (referred to
        in this title as the ``Administrator'') in a memorandum dated July
        16, 1997, to complete the next periodic review of the particulate
        matter national ambient air quality standards by July 2002 in order
        to determine ``whether to revise or maintain the standards'';
            (4) the Administrator has stated that 3 years of air quality
        monitoring data for fine particle levels, measured as
        PM<INF>2.5</INF> and performed in accordance with any applicable
        Federal reference methods, is appropriate for designating areas as
        attainment or nonattainment pursuant to the July 1997 promulgated
        standards; and
            (5) the Administrator has acknowledged that in drawing
        boundaries for attainment and nonattainment areas for the July 1997
        ozone national air quality standards, Governors would benefit from
        considering implementation guidance from EPA on drawing area
        boundaries.
        (b) The purposes of this title are--
            (1) to ensure that 3 years of air quality monitoring data
        regarding fine particle levels are gathered for use in the
        determination of area attainment or nonattainment designations
        respecting any PM<INF>2.5</INF> national ambient air quality
        standards;
            (2) to ensure that the Governors have adequate time to consider
        implementation guidance from EPA on drawing area boundaries prior
        to submitting area designations respecting the July 1997 ozone
        national ambient air quality standards;
            (3) to ensure that the schedule for implementation of the July
        1997 revisions of the ambient air quality standards for particulate
        matter and the schedule for the Environmental Protection Agency's
        visibility regulations related to regional haze are consistent with
        the timetable for implementation of such particulate matter
        standards as set forth in the President's Implementation Memorandum
        dated July 16, 1997.

    SEC. 6102. PARTICULATE MATTER MONITORING PROGRAM.

        (a) Through grants under section 103 of the Clean Air Act the
    Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall use
    appropriated funds no later than fiscal year 2000 to fund 100 percent
    of the cost of the establishment, purchase, operation and maintenance
    of a PM<INF>2.5</INF> monitoring network necessary to implement the
    national ambient air quality standards for PM<INF>2.5</INF> under
    section 109 of the Clean Air Act. This implementation shall not result
    in a diversion or reprogramming of funds from other Federal, State or
    local Clean Air Act activities. Any funds previously diverted or
    reprogrammed from section 105 Clean Air Act grants for PM<INF>2.5</INF>
    monitors must be restored to State or local air programs in fiscal year
    1999.
        (b) EPA and the States, consistent with their respective
    authorities under the Clean Air Act, shall ensure that the national
    network (designated in subsection (a)) which consists of the
    PM<INF>2.5</INF> monitors necessary to implement the national ambient
    air quality standards is established by December 31, 1999.
        (c)(1) The Governors shall be required to submit designations
    referred to in section 107(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act for each area
    following promulgation of the July 1997 PM<INF>2.5</INF> national
    ambient air quality standard within 1 year after receipt of 3 years of
    air quality monitoring data performed in accordance with any applicable
    Federal reference methods for the relevant areas. Only data from the
    monitoring network designated in subsection (a) and other Federal
    reference method PM<INF>2.5</INF> monitors shall be considered for such
    designations. Nothing in the previous sentence shall be construed as
    affecting the Governor's authority to designate an area initially as
    nonattainment, and the Administrator's authority to promulgate the
    designation of an area as nonattainment, under section 107(d)(1) of the
    Clean Air Act, based on its contribution to ambient air quality in a
    nearby nonattainment area.
        (2) For any area designated as nonattainment for the July 1997
    PM<INF>2.5</INF> national ambient air quality standard in accordance
    with the schedule set forth in this section, notwithstanding the time
    limit prescribed in paragraph (2) of section 169B(e) of the Clean Air
    Act, the Administrator shall require State implementation plan
    revisions referred to in such paragraph (2) to be submitted at the same
    time as State implementation plan revisions referred to in section 172
    of the Clean Air Act implementing the revised national ambient air
    quality standard for fine particulate matter are required to be
    submitted. For any area designated as attainment or unclassifiable for
    such standard, the Administrator shall require the State implementation
    plan revisions referred to in such paragraph (2) to be submitted 1 year
    after the area has been so designated. The preceding provisions of this
    paragraph shall not preclude the implementation of the agreements and
    recommendations set forth in the Grand Canyon Visibility Transport
    Commission Report dated June 1996.
        (d) The Administrator shall promulgate the designations referred to
    in section 107(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act for each area following
    promulgation of the July 1997 PM<INF>2.5</INF> national ambient air
    quality standard by the earlier of 1 year after the initial
    designations required under subsection (c)(1) are required to be
    submitted or December 31, 2005.
        (e) The Administrator shall conduct a field study of the ability of
    the PM<INF>2.5</INF> Federal Reference Method to differentiate those
    particles that are larger than 2.5 micrograms in diameter. This study
    shall be completed and provided to the Committee on Commerce of the
    House of Representatives and the Committee on Environment and Public
    Works of the United States Senate no later than 2 years from the date
    of enactment of this Act.

    SEC. 6103. OZONE DESIGNATION REQUIREMENTS.

        (a) The Governors shall be required to submit the designations
    referred to in section 107(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act within 2 years
    following the promulgation of the July 1997 ozone national ambient air
    quality standards.
        (b) The Administrator shall promulgate final designations no later
    than 1 year after the designations required under subsection (a) are
    required to be submitted.

    SEC. 6104. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS.

        Nothing in sections 6101 through 6103 shall be construed by the
    Administrator of Environmental Protection Agency or any court, State,
    or person to affect any pending litigation or to be a ratification of
    the ozone or PM<INF>2.5</INF> standards.

        determine the amount required for credit risk premiums under this
        subsection on the basis of--
                ``(A) the circumstances of the applicant, including the
            amount of collateral offered;
                ``(B) the proposed schedule of loan disbursements;

        subsection shall be paid to the Secretary before the disbursement
        of loan amounts.
            ``(4) Cohorts of loans.--In order to maintain sufficient
        balances of credit risk premiums to adequately protect the Federal
        Government from risk of default, while minimizing the length of
        time the Government retains possession of those balances, the
        Secretary shall establish cohorts of loans. When all obligations
        attached to a cohort of loans have been satisfied, credit risk
        premiums paid for the cohort, and interest accrued thereon, which
        were not used to mitigate losses shall be returned to the original
        source on a pro rata basis.
        ``(g) Prerequisites for Assistance.--The Secretary shall not make a
    direct loan or loan guarantee under this section unless the Secretary
    has made a finding in writing that--
            ``(1) repayment of the obligation is required to be made within
        a term of not more than 25 years from the date of its execution;
            ``(2) the direct loan or loan guarantee is justified by the
        present and probable future demand for rail services or intermodal
        facilities;
            ``(3) the applicant has given reasonable assurances that the
        facilities or equipment to be acquired, rehabilitated, improved,
        developed, or established with the proceeds of the obligation will
        be economically and efficiently utilized;
            ``(4) the obligation can reasonably be repaid, using an
        appropriate combination of credit risk premiums and collateral
        offered by the applicant to protect the Federal Government; and
            ``(5) the purposes of the direct loan or loan guarantee are
        consistent with subsection (b).
        ``(h) Conditions of Assistance.--The Secretary shall, before
    granting assistance under this section, require the applicant to agree
    to such terms and conditions as are sufficient, in the judgment of the
    Secretary, to ensure that, as long as any principal or interest is due
    and payable on such obligation, the applicant, and any railroad or
    railroad partner for whose benefit the assistance is intended--
            ``(1) will not use any funds or assets from railroad or
        intermodal operations for purposes not related to such operations,
        if such use would impair the ability of the applicant, railroad, or
        railroad partner to provide rail or intermodal services in an
        efficient and economic manner, or would adversely affect the
        ability of the applicant, railroad, or railroad partner to perform
        any obligation entered into by the applicant under this section;
            ``(2) will, consistent with its capital resources, maintain its
        capital program, equipment, facilities, and operations on a
        continuing basis; and
            ``(3) will not make any discretionary dividend payments that
        unreasonably conflict with the purposes stated in subsection (b).

    ``SEC. 503. ADMINISTRATION OF DIRECT LOANS AND LOAN GUARANTEES.

        ``(a) Applications.--The Secretary shall prescribe the form and
    contents required of applications for assistance under section 502, to
    enable the Secretary to determine the eligibility of the applicant's
    proposal, and shall establish terms and conditions for direct loans and
    loan guarantees made under that section.
        ``(b) Assignment of Loan Guarantees.--The holder of a loan
    guarantee made under section 502 may assign the loan guarantee in whole
    or in part, subject to such requirements as the Secretary may
    prescribe.

    any term or condition of a direct loan, loan guarantee, direct loan
    obligation, or loan guarantee commitment, including the rate of

    conditions of the direct loan or loan guarantee, including through
    regular periodic inspections.
        ``(e) Commercial Validity.--For purposes of claims by any party
    other than the Secretary, a loan guarantee or loan guarantee commitment
    shall be conclusive evidence that the underlying obligation is in
    compliance with the provisions of this title, and that such obligation
    has been approved and is legal as to principal, interest, and other
    terms. Such a guarantee or commitment shall be valid and incontestable
    in the hands of a holder thereof, including the original lender or any
    other holder, as of the date when the Secretary granted the application
    therefor, except as to fraud or material misrepresentation by such
    holder.
        ``(f) Default.--The Secretary shall prescribe regulations setting
    forth procedures in the event of default on a loan made or guaranteed
    under section 502. The Secretary shall ensure that each loan guarantee
    made under that section contains terms and conditions that provide
    that--
            ``(1) if a payment of principal or interest under the loan is
        in default for more than 30 days, the Secretary shall pay to the
        holder of the obligation, or the holder's agent, the amount of
        unpaid guaranteed interest;
            ``(2) if the default has continued for more than 90 days, the
        Secretary shall pay to the holder of the obligation, or the

        guaranteed but which were not recovered through the default's
        resolution;
            ``(4) the Secretary shall not be required to make any payment
        under paragraphs (1) through (3) if the Secretary finds, before the
        expiration of the periods described in such paragraphs, that the

            ``(5) the holder of the obligation shall not receive payment or
        be entitled to retain payment in a total amount which, together
        with all other recoveries (including any recovery based upon a

        loss of such holder.
        ``(g) Rights of the Secretary.--
            ``(1) Subrogation.--If the Secretary makes payment to a holder,
        or a holder's agent, under subsection (g) in connection with a loan
        guarantee made under section 502, the Secretary shall be subrogated
        to all of the rights of the holder with respect to the obligor
        under the loan.

    action in an appropriate Federal court in the name of the United States
    in the event of a default on a direct loan made under section 502, or
    in the name of the United States or of the holder of the obligation in
    the event of a default on a loan guaranteed under section 502. The
    holder of a guarantee shall make available to the Secretary all records
    and evidence necessary to prosecute the civil action. The Secretary may
    accept property in full or partial satisfaction of any sums owed as a
    result of a default. If the Secretary receives, through the sale or
    other disposition of such property, an amount greater than the
    aggregate of--
            ``(1) the amount paid to the holder of a guarantee under
        subsection (g) of this section; and
            ``(2) any other cost to the United States of remedying the
        default,
    the Secretary shall pay such excess to the obligor.
        ``(i) Breach of Conditions.--The Attorney General shall commence a
    civil action in an appropriate Federal court to enjoin any activity

    from each applicant a reasonable charge for appraisal of the value of
    the equipment or facilities for which the direct loan or loan guarantee
    is sought, and for making necessary determinations and findings. Such
    charge shall not aggregate more than one-half of 1 percent of the
    principal amount of the obligation.'';

                Subtitle C--Comprehensive One-Call Notification

    SEC. 7301. FINDINGS.

        Congress finds that--
            (1) unintentional damage to underground facilities during
        excavation is a significant cause of disruptions in
        telecommunications, water supply, electric power, and other vital
        public services, such as hospital and air traffic control
        operations, and is a leading cause of natural gas and hazardous
        liquid pipeline accidents;
            (2) excavation that is performed without prior notification to
        an underground facility operator or with inaccurate or untimely
        marking of such a facility prior to excavation can cause damage
        that results in fatalities, serious injuries, harm to the
        environment and disruption of vital services to the public; and
            (3) protection of the public and the environment from the
        consequences of underground facility damage caused by excavations
        will be enhanced by a coordinated national effort to improve one-
        call notification programs in each State and the effectiveness and
        efficiency of one-call notification systems that operate under such
        programs.

    SEC. 7302. ONE-CALL NOTIFICATION PROGRAMS.

        (a) In General.--Subtitle III of title 49, United States Code, is

        disseminate such notification to underground facility operators
        that are members of the system so that such operators can locate
        and mark their facilities in order to prevent damage to underground
        facilities in the course of such excavation.
            ``(2) State one-call notification program.--The term `State
        one-call notification program' means the State statutes,
        regulations, orders, judicial decisions, and other elements of law

        systems.
        ``(b) Appropriate Participation.--In determining the appropriate
    extent of participation required for types of underground facilities or
    excavators under subsection (a), a State shall assess, rank, and take
    into consideration the risks to the public safety, the environment,
    excavators, and vital public services associated with--
            ``(1) damage to types of underground facilities; and
            ``(2) activities of types of excavators.
        ``(c) Implementation.--A State one-call notification program also
    shall, at a minimum, provide for--
            ``(1) consideration of the ranking of risks under subsection
        (b) in the enforcement of its provisions;
            ``(2) a reasonable relationship between the benefits of one-

        the requirements of the State one-call notification program; and
            ``(3) voluntary participation where the State determines that a
        type of underground facility or an activity of a type of excavator
        poses a de minimis risk to public safety or the environment.
        ``(d) Penalties.--To the extent the State determines appropriate
    and necessary to achieve the purposes of this chapter, a State one-call
    notification program shall, at a minimum, provide for--
            ``(1) administrative or civil penalties commensurate with the
        seriousness of a violation by an excavator or facility owner of a
        State one-call notification program;
            ``(2) increased penalties for parties that repeatedly damage
        underground facilities because they fail to use one-call
        notification systems or for parties that repeatedly fail to provide
        timely and accurate marking after the required call has been made
        to a one-call notification system;
            ``(3) reduced or waived penalties for a violation of a
        requirement of a State one-call notification program that results
        in, or could result in, damage that is promptly reported by the
        violator;
            ``(4) equitable relief; and
            ``(5) citation of violations.

    ``Sec. 6104. Compliance with minimum standards

        ``(a) Requirement.--In order to qualify for a grant under section

    than 2 years after the date of enactment of this chapter.
        ``(b) Application.--
            ``(1) Upon application by a State, the Secretary shall review
        that State's one-call notification program, including the
        provisions for the implementation of the program and the record of
        compliance and enforcement under the program.
            ``(2) Based on the review under paragraph (1), the Secretary
        shall determine whether the State's one-call notification program
        meets the minimum standards for such a program set forth in section
        6103 in order to qualify for a grant under section 6106.
            ``(3) In order to expedite compliance under this section, the
        Secretary may consult with the State as to whether an existing
        State one-call notification program, a specific modification
        thereof, or a proposed State program would result in a positive
        determination under paragraph (2).
            ``(4) The Secretary shall prescribe the form and manner of
        filing an application under this section that shall provide
        sufficient information about a State's one-call notification
        program for the Secretary to evaluate its overall effectiveness.

        record of actions of the Secretary under this section shall be
        available to the public.
        ``(c) Alternative Program.--A State is eligible to receive a grant
    under section 6106 if the State maintains an alternative one-call
    notification program that provides protection for public safety,
    excavators, and the environment that is equivalent to, or greater than,
    protection provided under a program that meets the minimum standards
    set forth in section 6103.
        ``(d) Report.--Within 3 years after the date of the enactment of
    this chapter, the Secretary shall begin to include the following
    information in reports submitted under section 60124 of this title--
            ``(1) a description of the extent to which each State has
        adopted and implemented the minimum Federal standards under section
        6103 or maintains an alternative program under subsection (c);
            ``(2) an analysis by the Secretary of the overall effectiveness

    ``Sec. 6105. Review of one-call system best practices

        ``(a) Study of Existing One-Call Systems.--Except as provided in
    subsection (d), the Secretary, in consultation with other appropriate
    Federal agencies, State agencies, one-call notification system
    operators, underground facility operators, excavators, and other
    interested parties, shall undertake a study of damage prevention
    practices associated with existing one-call notification systems.
        ``(b) Purpose of Study of Damage Prevention Practices.--The purpose
    of the study is to gather information in order to determine which
    existing one-call notification systems practices appear to be the most
    effective in protecting the public, excavators, and the environment and
    in preventing disruptions to public services and damage to underground
    facilities. As part of the study, the Secretary shall consider, at a
    minimum--
            ``(1) the methods used by one-call notification systems and
        others to encourage participation by excavators and owners of
        underground facilities;
            ``(2) the methods by which one-call notification systems
        promote awareness of their programs, including use of public
        service announcements and educational materials and programs;
            ``(3) the methods by which one-call notification systems
        receive and distribute information from excavators and underground
        facility owners;
            ``(4) the use of any performance and service standards to
        verify the effectiveness of a one-call notification system;
            ``(5) the effectiveness and accuracy of mapping used by one-
        call notification systems;
            ``(6) the relationship between one-call notification systems
        and preventing damage to underground facilities;
            ``(7) how one-call notification systems address the need for
        rapid response to situations where the need to excavate is urgent;
            ``(8) the extent to which accidents occur due to errors in
        marking of underground facilities, untimely marking or errors in
        the excavation process after a one-call notification system has
        been notified of an excavation;
            ``(9) the extent to which personnel engaged in marking
        underground facilities may be endangered;
            ``(10) the characteristics of damage prevention programs the
        Secretary believes could be relevant to the effectiveness of State
        one-call notification programs; and
            ``(11) the effectiveness of penalties and enforcement
        activities under State one-call notification programs in obtaining
        compliance with program requirements.
        ``(c) Report.--Within 1 year after the date of the enactment of
    this chapter, the Secretary shall publish a report identifying those
    practices of one-call notification systems that are the most and least
    successful in--
            ``(1) preventing damage to underground facilities; and
            ``(2) providing effective and efficient service to excavators
        and underground facility operators.
    The Secretary shall encourage each State and operator of one-call
    notification programs to adopt and implement those practices identified
    in the report that the State determines are the most appropriate.
        ``(d) Secretarial Discretion.--Prior to undertaking the study
