            that will not be available for obligation in such fiscal year
            due to the imposition of any obligation limitation for such
            fiscal year. Such distribution to the States shall be made in
            the same ratio as funds are apportioned under section 104(b)(5)
            of such title. The funds so distributed to a State shall be
            credited to the State's apportionment under such section
            104(b)(5).

        (a) Apportionment.--The Secretary shall apportion funds made

    Appalachian Regional Commission, unless the Appalachian Regional
    Commission adopts an alternative method for distribution. In general,

    through 2003, any alternative method for distribution adopted by the
    Appalachian Regional Commission must be communicated to the Secretary
    at least 30 days prior to the beginning of the fiscal year in which the
    apportionment is to be made. Such funds shall be available to construct
    highways and access roads under section 201 of the Appalachian Regional
    Development Act of 1965.
        (b) Applicability of Title 23.--Funds authorized by section 102 of
    this Act for the Appalachian development highway system under section

    apportioned under chapter 1 of title 23, United States Code, except
    that the Federal share of the cost of any project under this section
    shall be determined in accordance with such section 201 and such funds
    shall remain available until expended.

    is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:

    practicable thereafter, there shall be deducted, for the expenses of
    the Appalachian Regional Commission in administering the funds
    authorized under this section for such year, not to exceed 3.75 percent
    of the funds made available for such year under subsection (g) of this
    section.''.

    River in Scioto County to the Scioto-Adams County line, corridor B1
    from the Kentucky State line to the junction with corridor B at
    Rosemount, corridor C from the junction with corridor B at Lucasville
    to State Route 159 at Chillicothe, or corridor D from the Adams County
    line to the Ohio River in Washington County as segments of the
    Appalachian development highway system, the State must consult about
    the proposed dedesignation with local elected officials having
    jurisdiction over the area in which the segment is located and conduct
    public hearings on the proposed dedesignation in each county in which
    any part of the segment is located.''.

            year as a result of not enough projects being eligible for

    this section on the basis of--
                (1) expected reduction in commercial and other motor
            vehicle travel time through an international border crossing as
            a result of the project;
                (2) improvements in vehicle and highway safety and cargo
            security related to motor vehicles crossing a border with
            Canada or Mexico;
                (3) strategies to increase the use of existing,
            underutilized border crossing facilities and approaches;
                (4) leveraging of Federal funds provided under this

    Program.--
                (1) Establishment.--The Secretary shall establish and
            implement an Interstate System reconstruction and

            notwithstanding sections 129 and 301 of title 23, United States
            Code, may permit a State to collect tolls on a highway, bridge,
            or tunnel on the Interstate System for the purpose of
            reconstructing and rehabilitating Interstate highway corridors
            that could not otherwise be adequately maintained or
            functionally improved without the collection of tolls.
                (2) Limitation on number of facilities.--The Secretary may
            permit the collection of tolls under this subsection on 3

            the pilot program, a State shall submit to the Secretary an
            application that contains, at a minimum, the following:
                        (A) An identification of the facility on the
                    Interstate System proposed to be a toll facility,
                    including the age, condition, and intensity of use of
                    such facility.
                        (B) In the case of a facility that affects a
                    metropolitan area, an assurance that the metropolitan
                    planning organization established under section 134 of
                    title 23, United States Code, for the area has been
                    consulted concerning the placement and amount of tolls
                    on the facility.
                        (C) An analysis demonstrating that such facility
                    could not be maintained or improved to meet current or
                    future needs from the State's apportionments and
                    allocations made available by this Act (including
                    amendments made by this Act) and from revenues for
                    highways from any other source without toll revenues.

                                (i) a plan for implementing the imposition
                            of tolls on the facility;
                                (ii) a schedule and finance plan for the
                            reconstruction or rehabilitation of the
                            facility using toll revenues;
                                (iii) a description of the public
                            transportation agency which will be responsible
                            for implementation and administration of the
                            pilot toll reconstruction and rehabilitation
                            program; and
                                (iv) a description of whether consideration
                            will be given to privatizing the maintenance
                            and operational aspects of the converted
                            facility, while retaining legal and
                            administrative control of the Interstate route
                            section.
                        (E) Such other information as the Secretary may
                    require.
                (4) Selection criteria.--The Secretary may approve the
            application of a State under paragraph (3) only if the
            Secretary determines the following:
                        (A) The State is unable to reconstruct or
                    rehabilitate the proposed toll facility using existing
                    apportionments.
                        (B) The facility has a sufficient intensity of use,
                    age, or condition to warrant the collection of tolls.
                        (C) The State plan for implementing tolls on the
                    facility takes into account the interests of local,
                    regional, and interstate travelers.
                        (D) The State plan for reconstruction or
                    rehabilitation of the facility using toll revenues is
                    reasonable.
                        (E) The State has given preference to the use of an
                    existing public toll agency with demonstrated
                    capability to build, operate, and maintain a toll
                    expressway system meeting criteria for the Interstate
                    System.
                (5) Limitations on use of revenues; audits.--Before the
            Secretary may permit a State to participate in the pilot
            program, the State must enter into an agreement with the
            Secretary that provides that--
                        (A) all toll revenues received from operation of
                    the toll facility will be used only for debt service,
                    for reasonable return on investment of any private
                    person financing the project, and for any costs
                    necessary for the improvement of and the proper
                    operation and maintenance of the toll facility,
                    including reconstruction, resurfacing, restoration, and
                    rehabilitation of the toll facility; and
                        (B) regular audits will be conducted to ensure
                    compliance with subparagraph (A) and the results of
                    such audits will be transmitted to the Secretary.
                (6) Limitation on use of interstate maintenance funds.--
            During the term of the pilot program, funds apportioned for
            Interstate maintenance under section 104(b)(5) of title 23,
            United States Code, may not be used on a facility for which
            tolls are being collected under the program.
                (7) Program term.--The Secretary shall conduct the pilot
            program under this section for a term to be determined by the
            Secretary but not less than 10 years.
                (8) Interstate system defined.--In this subsection, the
            term ``Interstate System'' has the same meaning such term has
            under section 101(a) of title 23, United States Code.
        (d) Bridge Reconstruction or Replacement.--Section 129(a)(1)(C) is

                    the analysis of which would be part of any
                    environmental document required by the National
                    Environmental Policy Act of 1969; 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 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
                    projects; 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 those required by the National
                    Environmental Policy Act of 1969; 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 those
            established by the Council on Environmental Quality under the
            provisions of 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 which has been discovered that could
            not reasonably have been anticipated when such 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, then the Secretary may close the
    record. If the Secretary finds after timely compliance with this
    section, that an environmental issue related to the highway project
    that an affected Federal agency has jurisdiction over by operation of
    Federal law has not been resolved, then the Secretary and the head of
    such agency shall resolve the matter within 30 days of the finding by
    the Secretary.
        (d) Acceptance of Purpose and Need.--For any environmental impact
    statement prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of
    1969 or the conduct of any other environmental review, analysis,
    opinion, or issuance of an environmental permit, license, or approval
    that requires an analysis of purpose and need, the agency conducting
    such review with respect to the highway project shall give due
    consideration to the project purpose and need as defined by the
    Secretary and the project applicant.
        (e) 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 must 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 provided for in 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 such State
    shall be subject to the review process.
        (f) Assistance to Affected Federal Agencies.--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 review process established by this section to affected
    Federal agencies to provide the resources necessary to meet any time
    limits established by this section. Such requests shall only be
    approved for the additional amounts that the Secretary determines are
    necessary for such affected Federal agencies to meet the time limits
    for environmental review where such time limits are less than the
    customary time necessary for such review.
        (g) Federal Agency Defined.--For the purposes of this section, the
    term ``Federal agency'' means any Federal agency or any State agency
    carrying out affected responsibilities required by operation of Federal
    law.
        (h) 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 be
            construed to affect the applicability of the National
            Environmental Policy Act of 1969 or any other Federal
            environmental statute or affect the responsibility of any
            Federal officer to comply with or enforce any such statute.
        (i) State Environmental Review Delegation Pilot Demonstration
    Program.--
                (1) In general.--The Secretary, in cooperation with the
            Council on Environmental Quality, shall establish and implement
            a State environmental review pilot demonstration program. Such
            program shall permit the Secretary, in cooperation with the
            Council on Environmental Quality, to develop criteria for
            States to select up to 8 States for participation in the
            program. A State interested in participation in the program
            shall submit to the Secretary an application for participation.
                (2) Delegation of authority.--For each State selected to
            participate in the pilot program, the Secretary shall delegate
            and the State shall accept all of the responsibilities for
            conducting the Federal environmental review process required by
            the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 in the manner
            required if the projects were undertaken by the Secretary.
                (3) Certification.--A State that is selected to participate
            in the pilot program shall, prior to assuming any
            responsibilities for the Secretary under this subsection,
            submit to the Secretary and the Secretary, in cooperation with
            the Council on Environmental Quality, shall approve a
            certification that shall, at a minimum--
                        (A) be in a form acceptable to the Secretary;
                        (B) be executed by the Chief Executive Officer of
                    the recipient of assistance under this section
                    (hereinafter in this section referred to as the

                        (C) specify that the certifying officer consents to
                    assume the status of a responsible Federal officer
                    under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
                    (and any applicable regulations issued by the Secretary
                    or the Council on Environmental Quality implementing
                    such Act) for the affected project;
                        (D) accept jurisdiction of the Federal courts for
                    the purpose of enforcement of the State's
                    responsibilities for the project; and
                        (E) agree that the Secretary's approval of such
                    certification shall constitute the Secretary's
                    responsibilities under the National Environmental
                    Policy Act of 1969 and any other related provisions of
                    law that the Secretary may specify for the affected
                    project.
                (4) Oversight.--For each State selected to participate in
            the pilot program, the Secretary shall, in cooperation with the
            Council on Environmental Quality, conduct quarterly audits in
            the first year of such participation, and annual audits every
            year thereafter, to ensure that each selected State is
            complying with all elements of the certification provided for
            in this subsection and all requirements delegated pursuant to
            this subsection.
                (5) Termination.--The Secretary, in cooperation with the
            Council on Environmental Quality, may immediately terminate the
            participation of any State if the Secretary, in cooperation
            with the Council on Environmental Quality, finds that such
            State is not complying with any responsibility or duty set
            forth in this subsection or that the State's continued
            participation in the program would result in any adverse impact
            on the environment.
                (6) Period of applicability.--The pilot program shall
            remain in effect for 3 years. The pilot program shall apply to
            all projects initiated within such 3-year period, and any such
            project shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection
            until the review of the project is completed under this
            subsection.
                (7) Report to congress.--The Secretary and Council on
            Environmental Quality shall transmit to Congress annual reports
            on the pilot program.

    SEC. 503. MAJOR INVESTMENT STUDY INTEGRATION.

        The Secretary shall eliminate the major investment study set forth
    in section 450.318 of title 23, Code of Federal Regulations, as a
    separate requirement and promulgate regulations to integrate such
    requirement, as appropriate, as part of each analysis undertaken
    pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 for a project
    receiving assistance with funds made available under this Act
    (including any amendments made by this Act).

    SEC. 504. FINANCIAL PLAN.

        The Secretary shall require each recipient of Federal financial
    assistance for a highway or transit project with an estimated total
    cost of $1,000,000,000 or more to submit to the Secretary an annual
    financial plan. Such plan shall be based on detailed annual estimates
    of the cost to complete the remaining elements of the project and on
    reasonable assumptions, as determined by the Secretary, of future
    increases in the cost to complete the project.

    SEC. 605. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON THE YEAR 2000 PROBLEM.

        With the year 2000 fast approaching, it is the sense of the
    Congress that the Department of Transportation should--
                (1) give high priority to correcting all 2-digit date-
            related problems in its computer systems to ensure that those
            systems continue to operate effectively in the year 2000 and
            beyond;
                (2) assess immediately the extent of the risk to the
            operations of the Department of Transportation posed by the
            problems referred to in paragraph (1), and plan and budget for
            achieving Year 2000 compliance for all of its mission-critical
            systems; and
                (3) develop contingency plans for those systems that the
            Department of Transportation is unable to correct in time.

    section shall not exceed $5,000,000,000 at any one time. Of this

            loan.
                ``(2) Loan guarantees.--The Secretary shall not make a loan
            guarantee under this section if the interest rate for the loan
            exceeds that which the Secretary determines to be reasonable,
            taking into consideration the prevailing interest rates and
            customary fees incurred under similar obligations in the
            private capital market.

            direct loans and loan guarantees as required under section
            504(b)(1) of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, the
            Secretary may accept on behalf of an applicant for assistance
            under this section a commitment from a non-Federal source to
            fund in whole or in part credit risk premiums with respect to
            the loan that is the subject of the application. In no event
            shall the aggregate of appropriations of budget authority and
            credit risk premiums described in this paragraph with respect
            to a direct loan or loan guarantee be less than the cost of
            that direct loan or loan guarantee.
                ``(2) Credit risk premium amount.--The Secretary shall
            determine the amount required for credit risk premiums under
            this subsection on the basis of--

                    relevant.

            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--

            present and probable future demand for rail services or
            intermodal facilities;

            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).

        ``(a) Applications.--The Secretary shall prescribe the form and
    contents required of applications for assistance under section 502, to

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

    requirements, if the Secretary finds in writing that--

            best interests of the United States; and

    applicant, any other party to the loan, and any railroad or railroad
    partner for whose benefit assistance is intended, with the provisions
    of this title, regulations issued hereunder, and the terms and
    conditions of the direct loan or loan guarantee, including through
    regular periodic inspections.

    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.

            of the obligation, or the holder's agent, any remaining amounts
            guaranteed but which were not recovered through the default's
            resolution;

    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

    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.'';
