        and highway safety programs for the prior fiscal years the

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

        fiscal year under section 105 of title 23, United States Code 
        (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

        Federal-aid highways less the aggregate amounts not distributed 
        under paragraphs (1) and (2) and amounts distributed under 
        paragraphs (4) and (5) for Federal-aid highways and highway 
        safety construction programs (other than the minimum guarantee

        $2,639,000,000, and the Appalachian development highway system 
        program) that are apportioned by the Secretary under title 23, 
        United States Code, in the ratio that--
                    (A) sums authorized to be appropriated for such 
                programs that are apportioned to each State for such 
                fiscal year, bear to

the extent that such obligation authority has not lapsed or been used.
    (c) Redistribution of Unused Obligation Authority.--Notwithstanding 
subsection (a), the Secretary shall after August 1 for such fiscal year 
revise a distribution of the obligation limitation made available under 
subsection (a) if a State will not obligate the amount distributed

programs under chapter 4 of title 23, United States Code; and (2) that 
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 
distribution of obligation authority under subsection (a)(6). The funds 
so distributed shall be available for any purposes described in section 
133(b) of title 23, United States Code.

                    (A) the conversion is based on the result of a 
                public-private competition that includes a most 
                efficient and cost effective organization plan

                title 10, United States Code; or
                    (C) activities that are the subject of an ongoing 
                competition that was publicly announced prior to the 
                date of enactment of this act.

executive agency from conducting a public-private competition to 
evaluate the benefits of converting work from contract performance to 
performance by Federal employees in appropriate instances. The Circular
