                    (A) the obligation limitation for Federal-aid 
                Highways less the aggregate of amounts not distributed 
                under paragraphs (1) and (2), bears to

                appropriated for Federal-aid highways and highway 
                safety construction programs (other than sums

        (relating to minimum guarantee) so that the amount of 
        obligation authority available for each of such sections is 
        equal to the amount determined by multiplying the ratio 
        determined under paragraph (3) by the sums authorized to be
