days after the date of the distribution of obligation authority under
subsection (c) for each of fiscal years 2004 through 2009, the

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Under current law, surface transportation programs rely
primarily on formula capital apportionments to States.
(2) Despite the significant increase for surface
transportation program funding in the Transportation Equity Act
of the 21st Century, current levels of investment are
insufficient to fund critical high-cost transportation
infrastructure facilities that address critical national
economic and transportation needs.
(3) Critical high-cost transportation infrastructure
facilities often include multiple levels of government,
agencies, modes of transportation, and transportation goals and
planning processes that are not easily addressed or funded
within existing surface transportation program categories.
(4) Projects of national and regional significance have
national and regional benefits, including improving economic
productivity by facilitating international trade, relieving
congestion, and improving transportation safety by facilitating

SEC. 5103. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) Research and development are critical to developing and
maintaining a transportation system that meets the goals of
safety, mobility, economic vitality, efficiency, equity, and
environmental protection.
(2) Federally sponsored surface transportation research and
development has produced many successes. The development of
rumble strips has increased safety; research on materials has
increased the lifespan of pavements, saving money and reducing
the disruption caused by construction; and Geographic
Information Systems have improved the management and efficiency
of transit fleets.
(3) Despite these important successes, the Federal surface
transportation research and development investment represents
less than one percent of overall government spending on surface
transportation.
(4) While Congress increased funding for overall
transportation programs by about 40 percent in the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, funding for
transportation research and development remained relatively
flat.
(5) The Federal investment in research and development
should be balanced between short-term applied and long-term
fundamental research and development. The investment should
also cover a wide range of research areas, including research
on materials and construction, research on operations, research
on transportation trends and human factors, and research
addressing the institutional barriers to deployment of new
technologies.
(6) Therefore, Congress finds that it is in the United
States interest to increase the Federal investment in
transportation research and development, and to conduct
research in critical research gaps, in order to ensure that the
transportation system meets the goals of safety, mobility,
economic vitality, efficiency, equity, and environmental
protection.

SEC. 6002. EFFICIENT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEWS FOR PROJECT DECISIONMAKING.
(a) Policy and Purpose.--
(1) Policy.--The Enlibra principles, as initially developed
by the Western Governors Association and adopted by the
National Governors Association, represent a sound basis for
interaction among the Federal, State, local governments, and
Indian tribes on environmental matters and should be followed
in the development of highway construction and public transit
improvements. These principles are as follows:
(A) Assign responsibilities at the right level.
(B) Use collaborative processes to break down
barriers and find solutions.
(C) Move to a performance-based system.
(D) Separate subjective choices from objective data
gathering.
(E) Pursue economic incentives whenever
appropriate.
(F) Ensure environmental understanding.
(G) Make sure environmental decisions are fully
informed.
(H) Use appropriate geographic boundaries for
environmental problems.
(2) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to reduce
delays in the delivery of highway construction and public
transportation capital projects arising from the environmental
review process, while continuing to ensure the protection of
the human and natural environment.

TITLE VII--HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TRANSPORTATION
SEC. 7001. AMENDMENT OF TITLE 49, UNITED STATES CODE.
Except as otherwise expressly provided, whenever in this title an
amendment or repeal is expressed in terms of an amendment to, or a
repeal of, a section or other provision, the reference shall be
considered to be made to a section or other provision of title 49,
United States Code.
SEC. 7002. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds with respect to hazardous materials
transportation that--
(1) approximately 4,000,000,000 tons of regulated hazardous
materials are transported each year and approximately 1,200,000
movements of hazardous materials occur each day, according to
Department of Transportation estimates;
(2) the movement of hazardous materials in commerce is
necessary to maintain economic vitality and meet consumer
demands and must be conducted in a safe and efficient manner;
(3) accidents involving, or unauthorized access to,
hazardous materials in transportation may result in a release
of such materials and pose a serious threat to public health
and safety;
(4) many States and localities have enacted laws and
regulations that vary from Federal laws and regulations
pertaining to the transportation of hazardous materials,
thereby creating the potential for unreasonable hazards in
other jurisdictions and confounding shippers and carriers that
attempt to comply with multiple regulatory requirements;
(5) because of the potential risks to life, property, and
the environment posed by unintentional releases of hazardous
materials, consistency in laws and regulations governing the
transportation of hazardous materials is necessary and
desirable;
(6) in order to achieve greater uniformity and to promote
the public health, welfare, and safety at all levels, Federal
standards for regulating the transportation of hazardous
materials in intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce are
necessary and desirable; and
(7) in order to provide reasonable, adequate, and cost-
effective protection from the risks posed by the transportation
of hazardous materials, a network of well-trained State and
local emergency response personnel and hazmat employees is
essential.
(b) Purpose.--The text of section 5101 is amended to read as
follows: ``The purpose of this chapter is to protect against the risks
to life, property, and the environment that are inherent in the
transportation of hazardous material in intrastate, interstate, and
foreign commerce.''.
