        and $2,000,000,000 for such fiscal year under section 105 of 
        title 23, United States Code (relating to minimum guarantee) so

        section 105, $2,000,000,000) for such fiscal year;

        safety construction programs (other than the minimum guarantee 
        program, but only to the extent that amounts apportioned for 
        the minimum guarantee program for such fiscal year exceed 
        $2,639,000,000, and the Appalachian development highway system 
        program) that are apportioned by the Secretary under title 23,

the Secretary determines will not be allocated to the States, and 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 the
