This consolidated schedule shows the obligation and outlay of
amounts made available for programs in prior years. No further
appropriation is requested. A proposed general provision would limit
obligations in 1997.
Credit accounts:
Orange County (CA) Toll Road Demonstration Project Program Account
Note.--The subsidy rate shown for these projects has been modified
due to legislation enacted in FY 1996. It is assumed that the interest
rate charged to these loans will be sufficient to ensure that the
subsidy budget authority provided will support the full line of credit
authorized using the current risk assumptions.

The National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 included the
Alameda Transportation Corridor as a High Priority Corridor for which
direct loans are authorized under ISTEA Section 1105(i). The Corridor is
an intermodal project connecting the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach
to downtown Los Angeles. The project replaces the current 20 miles of
at-grade rail lines with a high-speed, below-grade corridor, thereby
eliminating over 200 grade crossings. It also widens and improves the
adjacent major highway on this alignment and mitigates the impact of
increased international traffic transferring through the San Pedro
Ports. Segments of the Alameda Transportation Corridor are currently
under construction. The loan will permit construction to continue
without interruption through the date of an anticipated revenue bond
sale, the proceeds of which will fund the majority of the project's
costs.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct
loan(s) obligated in FY 1997. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a
present value basis.

The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1968 authorized $300 million for the
establishment of a right-of-way revolving fund. This fund is used to
make cash advances to States for the purpose of purchasing right-of-way
parcels in advance of highway construction and thereby preventing the
inflation of land prices from significantly increasing construction
costs.
This program was terminated in 1996 but will continue to be shown
for reporting purposes as loan balances remain outstanding. A
prohibition on further obligations is requested for 1997.

State Infrastructure Banks are a promising way of facilitating
needed infrastructure investment, especially when all levels of
government are facing constrained resources. State Infrastructure Banks
are a means of increasing and improving both public and private
investment in transportation.
The National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 authorized up to
ten pilot states to test State Infrastructure Banks (``SIBs'') which
would provide greater flexibility to support the financing of projects
by using Federal-aid funds for revolving loans and other forms of non-
traditional financial assistance for both public and private entities
developing eligible transportation projects. States have shown
significant interest in exploring the infrastructure financing benefits
offered by this concept.
The Department is currently accepting applications from interested
states, with substantially more than ten states expressing interest in
the program and expected to apply for pilot status. Given the level of
interest, the administration proposes that the program be expanded to
include additional states and to provide $250 million in funding to
capitalize SIBs.

The Highway Revenue Act of 1956, as amended, provides for the
transfer from the general fund to the highway trust fund of revenue from
the motor fuel tax and certain other taxes paid by highway users. The
Secretary of the Treasury estimates the amounts to be transferred. In
turn, appropriations are authorized from this fund to meet expenditures
for Federal-aid highways and other programs as specified by law.
The budget does not propose policy changes related to the spending
and revenues of the Highway Trust Fund. The Administration plans to
address issues related to the Highway Trust Fund as part of the upcoming
Surface Transportation Authorization due to Congress with the 1998
budget.
Receipts increase in 1996 because receipts generated by 2.5 cents of
the motor fuel tax are deposited in the Highway Trust Fund instead of
the General Fund.

The Federal-Aid Highways (FAH) budget authority consists of several
programs designed to aid in the construction, rehabilitation, traffic
management and safety of our nation's highways. This program is funded
by contract authority found in substantive legislation currently
provided by the six-year (1992-1997) Intermodal Surface Transportation
Efficiency Act of 1991 (P.L. 102-240), (ISTEA).
All programs included within FAH are financed from the Highway Trust
Fund and distributed via apportionments and allocations to States.
Liquidating cash appropriations are subsequently requested to fund
outlays resulting from obligations incurred under contract authority.
The budget proposes to fund programs from within the Federal-Aid Highway
obligation limitation and a separate obligation ceiling for the section
310(d) Bonus Limitation. Emergency Relief and Minimum Allocation
programs that are currently exempt from the limitation will continue to
be exempt from the limitation. All highway demonstration projects will
be covered by separate limitations.
National highway program.--The ISTEA established a National Highway
System (NHS) Program to provide funding for a designated National
Highway System consisting of roads that are of primary Federal interest.
Legislation designating a 161,000 mile system was enacted in November of
1995. The National Highway System consists of the current Interstate,
other rural principal arterials, urban freeways and connecting urban
principal arterials, and facilities on the Defense Department's
designated Strategic Highway Network.
Surface Transportation Program (STP).--The ISTEA established a new
block grant-type program that may be used by States and localities for
any roads that are not classified as local or rural minor collector
roads. The ISTEA authorized a total of $23.9 billion for the STP over
six years. The authority may be augmented by transfers of authority from
other programs and by the apportionment adjustments authorized by
section 1015 of ISTEA and minimum allocation funds which may be used as
if they were STP funds.
Bridge replacement and rehabilitation.--The ISTEA continues the
bridge program to enable States to respond to the problem of unsafe and
inadequate bridges. The funds will be available for use on all bridges,
both on and off the National Highway System, including those on roads
functionally classified as rural minor collectors and as local. Highway
bridges designated as a hazard to navigation by the U.S. Coast Guard are
eligible for funding under the NHS, STP or bridge program.
Emergency relief.--The Emergency Relief (ER) program provides funds
for the repair or reconstruction of Federal-aid highways and bridges and
Federally-owned roads and bridges which have suffered serious damage as
the result of natural disasters or catastrophic failures. The ER program
supplements the commitment of resources by States, their political
subdivisions, or Federal agencies to help pay for unusually heavy
expenses resulting from extraordinary conditions.
Federal lands.--This category includes the Public Lands Highways,
Park Roads and Parkways, and Indian Reservation Roads programs. Roads
funded under this program are open to public travel. State and local
roads (25,000 miles) that provide important access to and within the
National Forest System are designated Forest Highways. These roads
should not be confused with the Forest Development Roads which are under
the jurisdiction of the Forest Service. Park roads and Parkways (8,000
miles) are owned by the National Park Service and provide access to and
within the National Park System. Indian Reservation Roads program
consists of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (20,000 miles) and State and
local
[[Page 722]]
roads (25,000 miles) that provide access to, and within, Indian lands.
Miscellaneous.--This category includes Ferry Boat Construction,
Scenic Byways, University Transportation Centers, University Research
Institutes, Tax Evasion Projects, and Bureau of Transportation
Statistics. The 1997 budget funds the National Recreational Trails
program from administrative contract authority as required by P.L. 104-
59. The Administration believes this program should not be funded within
the Department of Transportation in future years. In addition, the
budget proposes to eliminate funding for the timber bridge research
program. To the extent additional research is warranted in this area, it
should be funded as part of the materials research budget of FHWA.

The Highway Safety Act of 1970 authorized grants to States and
communities for implementing and maintaining highway-related safety
standards. The Highway-Related Safety Grants program is proposed to be
merged with the highway traffic safety programs of the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration in FY 1997. The FY 1997 appropriation
request, together with the unpaid balance of cash appropriations, is
sufficient to liquidate unpaid obligations of 1996 and earlier years.

The Motor Carrier Safety Grant program provides grants to States to
enforce Federal and compatible State standards applicable to commercial
motor vehicle safety. Uniform safety standards both enhance the
coordination of enforcement activities and simplify the safety
requirements of interstate trucking parties. The purpose of the grant
program is to raise the level of enforcement, not to substitute Federal
funds for State and local dollars.

BUREAU OF TRANSPORTATION STATISTICS
The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of
1991, section 6006, (49 U.S.C. 111), established in the Department of
Transportation a new Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Its Director
is appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate
to a four-year term.
The work of the Bureau consists of: compiling transportation
statistics, implementing a long-term data collection program, issuing
guidelines for information collection, coordination of information
collection, making statistics accessible, and identifying information
needs.
Financing of the Bureau's operations is authorized as contract
authority out of the Highway Trust Fund at $5 million for 1992, $10
million for 1993, $15 million for 1994 and 1995, $20 million for 1996,
and $25 million for 1997. The contract authority is included in the
Federal-Aid Highways program and subject to the obligation limitation
applicable to that program. Funds are transferred to the Bureau from
Federal-Aid Highways, where all obligations and outlays are counted.
Obligations are estimated at $17.5 million in 1996 and $24.7 million
in 1997. Obligations incurred under allocations from other accounts are
included in the schedules of the parent appropriation as follows:
Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, Federal-
Aid Highways.
The Bureau also includes the Office of Airline Information, formerly
the Office of Airline Statistics in the Research and Special Programs
Administration. Financing of the Bureau's activities related to airline
statistics is proposed to be derived from the Airport and Airway Trust
Fund at $3.1 million for 1997.

This account represents the portion of the Operations and Research
appropriation authorized under 23 U.S.C. 403, as well as the Drug
Recognition Expert Training Program, financed from the Highway Trust
Fund for the following activities:
Highway Safety Programs.--Provides for demonstrations, technical
assistance and national leadership for highway safety programs conducted
by State and local governments, the private sector, universities and
research units, and various safety associations and organizations. This
assistance includes demonstration programs emphasizing alcohol and drug
countermeasures, occupant protection, traffic law enforcement, emergency
medical and trauma care systems, traffic records and licensing, State
and community evaluation, motorcycle riders, pedestrian/bicycle safety
and young and older driver safety programs. Provides funding for three
initiatives: a Safe Communities demonstration providing grants to
communities and injury prevention centers to develop and manage local
injury prevention programs; a new technical assistance initiative for
state program evaluation; and a railroad-highway safety demonstration
grant program. The Department has set two important traffic safety
program goals for the nation: reduce alcohol-related traffic fatalities
to no more than 11,000 by the year 2005 (with a near-term goal of 15,075
by 1997) and increase safety belt use to 75 percent by 1997. Provides
for highway safety research on new countermeasures to improve safety
belt usage, to prevent alcohol impaired driving, and to reduce unsafe
driving speeds. Research also addresses young and older driver safety,
and driver education. A new research initiative in state and community
program effectiveness is also proposed.
Research and analysis.--Provides support for the collection and
analysis of data to determine the relationship between driver
performance characteristics and crashes causing death and injury.

Section 402 formula grants.--Grant allocations are determined on the
basis of a statutory formula established by Congress under 23 U.S.C.
402. States use this funding for reducing traffic crashes, fatalities,
and injuries. The grants are used to support State highway safety
programs within national priorities established by Congress and
implemented jointly with all members of the highway safety community.
States develop plans to manage use of grants to reduce death and injury
associated with excessive speeds, failure to use occupant restraints,
alcohol/drug impaired driving and roadway safety. Grants are also
devoted to improvements in safety of motorcyclists, pedestrians,
bicyclists and older/younger drivers, and emergency medical services/
trauma care, school bus safety, and better traffic records systems. In
1997, funding for the Safe Communities initiative will continue
community-based efforts to mount multi-year injury prevention programs
through locally based partnerships. In FY 1997 the Highway-Related
Safety Grants program of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) will
be merged into the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) Section 402 formula grants program. NHTSA proposes to spend $15
million on programs previously funded by FHWA for roadway safety.
Section 410 incentive grants.--Alcohol-impaired driving
countermeasure grants are provided to States that qualify by adopting
laws and program measures specified by Congress--to reduce safety
problems stemming from driving while impaired by alcohol and other
drugs. Basic grants are issued for achieving criteria that include
administrative driver license actions within stated timeframes, lower
blood-alcohol content (BAC) laws, statewide police roadside checkpoints,
effective under age 21 impairment deterrence, mandatory sentences for
repeat offenders, and programs that are financially self-sufficient.
Supplemental grants are provided to States that adopt additional
specified measures, including .02 BAC laws for under-21 drivers, license
plate confiscation, laws against open alcohol containers in vehicles and
mandatory BAC testing by police of suspected DWI offenders.
National Driver Register.--NDR program funding is provided to
improve traffic safety by assisting State motor vehicle administrators
in communicating effectively and efficiently with other States to
identify drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked for
serious traffic offenses including impaired driving and hit and run.
States are completing conversion to an electronic inquiry system
(Problem Driver Pointer System) developed pursuant to the National
Driver Register Act of 1982. The new communication system will
accelerate information exchanges among States and increase the accuracy
of data used in State driver licensing decisions.

The National Capital Transportation Amendments of 1979 (Stark-
Harris), authorized $1.7 billion in Federal funds to support the
construction of the Washington Metrorail system. In addition, the
National Capital Transportation Amendments of 1990 authorized another
$1.3 billion in Federal capital assistance to complete construction of
the planned 103-mile system.
For 1997, $200 million is requested under the 1990 authorization to
continue funding the final 13.5 miles of the 103-mile system under
Federal Transit Administration's Full Funding Grant Agreements with
Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. These funds will be used
to complete construction of the Franconia/Springfield line, which is
scheduled to open for revenue service in mid-1997; to continue
construction of the Glenmont, Mid-City, and Branch Avenue lines; and to
provide for project management, real estate acquisition, and other
expenses such as contingencies and insurance.

for operating assistance under 49 U.S.C. 5336(d): Provided further, That
the limitation on operating assistance provided under this heading
shall, for urbanized areas of less than 200,000 in population, be no
less than seventy-five percent of the amount of operating assistance
such areas are eligible to receive under Public Law 103-331: Provided
further, That in the distribution of the limitation provided under this
heading to urbanized areas that had a population under the 1990 census
of 1,000,000 or more, the Secretary shall direct each such area to give
priority consideration to the impact of reductions in operating
assistance on smaller transit authorities operating within the area and
to consider the needs and resources of such transit authorities when the
limitation is distributed among all transit authorities operating in the
area. (Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations
Act, 1996.)

In 1997, a total of $2.152 billion is requested for Formula Grants.
These funds may be used for a wide variety of mass transit purposes,
including planning, construction of facilities, purchase of buses and
railcars, and for operating assistance. Activities funded under this
account are:
Urban Formula Grants.--$1.982 billion will be apportioned by
legislative formula for use in urbanized areas with populations of more
than 50,000. Not to exceed $500 million of Urban Formula Grants funding
will be available for operating assistance to mitigate reductions in
service and increases in fares brought about by significant cuts in
operating assistance over the last two years. This increase is also
needed to defray the additional operating costs that will result from
full implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act paratransit
requirements in 1997. Urban formula grants funds not available for
operating assistance may be transferred to the Federal Highway
Administration for use on highway projects at State and local
discretion.
Nonurban Formula Grants.--$115 million will be apportioned according
to a legislative formula based on each State's nonurban population to
areas with populations of less than 50,000.
Elderly and Disabled Grants.--$55 million will be apportioned to
each State according to a legislatively required formula to assist in
providing transportation to the elderly and persons with disabilities.
Funds may be made available to private nonprofit organizations and to
public bodies when certain requirements are met.

Cooperative Research Program, $8.25 million for the State TPR Program,
$22.0 million for the National TPR Program and $3.0 million for the
National Transit Institute.
Under the national component of the program, the FTA is a catalyst
in the research, development and deployment of transportation methods
and technologies addressing such issues as accessibility for the
disabled, air quality, traffic congestion and service and operational
improvements. The National Planning and Research Program also supports
the development of innovative transit technologies, such as the Advanced
Technology Transit Bus, and fuel cells and batteries. Beginning in 1997,
all funding for Intelligent Transportation Systems, a portion of which
was previously included in this account, is consolidated within the
Federal-aid highway account.
Funds for the State and local component of the program improve the
State and local planning process and allow participation in research
efforts.

This account supports the operation and maintenance of a safe
national aviation system. It finances the personnel and support costs of
operating and maintaining the air traffic control system, and ensuring
the safety and security of its operation. The 1997 budget proposes a 6
percent increase for the operations account. This will fund a net
increase of 250 air traffic controllers and 258 safety inspectors. It
also completes the hiring of over 500 maintenance inspectors to support
the national airspace infrastructure.
The 1997 budget proposes the establishment and collection of $150
million in user fees for services provided by the FAA. These fees will
be credited to the Operations appropriation and are the first step to
fully funding FAA through user fees.

issued, income from authorized investments, and binder fees for
nonpremium coverage issued. The binders provide aviation insurance
coverage for U.S. air carrier aircraft used in connection with certain
Government contract operations by the Department of Defense and the
Department of State.

determines may be performed more advantageously as centralized services,
including accounting, international training, payroll, travel,

rates which will return in full all expenses of operation, including
accrued leave, depreciation of fund plant and equipment, amortization of
Automated Data Processing (ADP) software and systems (either required or
donated), and an amount necessary to maintain a reasonable operating
reserve, as determined by the FAA Administrator: Provided further, That

further, That an amount not to exceed four percent of the total annual
income to such fund may be retained in the fund for fiscal year 1998 and
each year thereafter, to remain available until expended, to be used for
the acquisition of capital equipment and for the improvement and
implementation of FAA financial management, ADP, and support systems:
Provided further, That no later than thirty days after the end of each
fiscal year, amounts in excess of this reserve limitation shall be
transferred to miscellaneous receipts in the Treasury.

In FY 1997, the Federal Aviation Administration will establish a
franchise fund to finance operations where the costs for goods and
services provided are charged to the users on a fee-for-service basis.
The fund will improve organizational efficiency and provide better
support to our internal and external customers on a reimbursable basis.
The activities included in this franchise fund in FY 1997 are
international training, accounting, payroll, travel, duplicating
services, multi-media services, and information technology. Initial
estimates are based on a full cost recovery and do not assume any
retained earnings at this point.

The Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (26 U.S.C.
9502), as amended by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Acts of 1990
(Public Law 101-508) and 1993 (Public Law 103-66), provides for the
receipts received in the Treasury from the 10-percent passenger ticket
tax and certain other taxes paid by airport and airway users to be
transferred to the Airport and Airway Trust Fund. In turn,
appropriations are authorized from this fund to meet obligations for
airport improvement grants, facilities and equipment, research, and a
portion of operations. However, the tax requirement expired on December
31, 1995, and reenactment is not assumed until August 1996. It is
estimated that $3.6 billion of aviation tax revenue will be foregone in
1996.

At the end of 1996, the uncommitted trust fund balance is estimated
to be $1.6 billion because of the delay reenacting the tax. The
extension of the taxes in August 1996, and the 75 percent of FAA's
budget to be financed from the trust fund, will result in an estimated
uncommitted balance of $2.3 billion by the end of fiscal year 1997.

Note.--Mission Support, has an estimated contingent liability of $92
million (present value) associated with the FAA's long-term lease of
facilities at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma. This contingent liability will be funded through this account.
The proposed funding sustains the current infrastructure and
supports the FAA's plan to modernize and improve the national airspace
system. In particular, funds would provide for significant progress in
developing the enroute, terminal and tower automation programs, designed
to upgrade air traffic control technology; and the voice switching and
control system, to modernize the system's communications network.

The 1997 budget proposes funding to conduct research, engineering
and development programs to improve the national air traffic control
system by increasing its safety, security, capacity and productivity to
meet the expected air traffic demands of the future. The agency also
administers human factors research aimed at increasing the effectiveness
of air traffic controller operations, airway facilities maintenance,
aviation medical research aimed at increasing the safety of aircrew
members and environmental research aimed at mitigating aircraft noise
and engine emissions.
These programs are conducted by the agency's technical personnel
directly and through contracts with qualified private firms,
universities, and individuals, and through agreements with other
Government agencies.

Sections 48104 and 48105 of title 49, U.S. Code (formerly sections
506(c) and 506(d) of the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, as
amended) and section 9502 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, authorize use of the Airport and Airway Trust Fund as the
source of financing a portion of FAA's operating costs. For 1997, it is
proposed that $2,742,602,000 of the Operations appropriation be financed
from the Trust Fund. This would provide an overall 75 percent cost
recovery for FAA programs in total. Financing a portion of the
operational costs from the Trust Fund is appropriate since it means that
the users of the aviation system will help pay for the operation and
maintenance of the system and the salaries and related expenses of FAA's
safety employees, who have the daily responsibility of ensuring the
safety of the flying public.

This appropriation provides the Government's share of the costs for
altering or removing railroad bridges determined to be obstructions to
navigation. Consistent with pending legislation, beginning in 1997, the
Coast Guard will no longer fund alteration of highway bridges determined
to be unreasonably obstructive under the Truman-Hobbs Act of 1940 as
amended, (33 U.S.C. 511 et seq.). The Federal share of such projects
will be eligible for funding from the Federal Highway Administration,
under the continuing program direction of the Coast Guard.
Coast Guard will continue to seek direct funding for the Federal
share of the necessary alteration of railroad bridges under this
appropriation.
Retired Pay
For retired pay, including the payment of obligations therefor
otherwise chargeable to lapsed appropriations for this purpose, and
payments under the Retired Serviceman's Family Protection and Survivor

This account has historically provided financial assistance for the
development and implementation of a coordinated national recreational
boating safety program. Boating Safety statistics reflect the success in
meeting the program's objectives. No discretionary appropriation is
requested in 1997 from the funds deposited in the Boat Safety Account of
the Aquatic Resources Trust Fund. Federal funding for assistance to
States, administrative costs of the program, and the nonprofit grant
program will be provided under proposed legislation that would transfer
an additional $35 million in mandatory funds to the Secretary of
Transportation from the mandatory appropriation of the Sport Fish
Restoration Account under the authority of Title V of the ``Oceans Act
of 1992'' (P.L. 102-587) for a total of $45 million.

The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989, Public Law 101-239,
triggered collection of a 5 cent tax on each barrel of oil produced
domestically or imported to be deposited into the Oil Spill Liability
Trust Fund. Resources from the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund are used
to finance oil pollution prevention and cleanup responsibilities by
various Federal agencies. In accordance with the provisions of the Act,
the Fund may finance annually up to $50 million of emergency resources
and all valid claims from injured parties resulting from oil spills. For
Coast Guard, this funds the following accounts: trust fund share of
expenses, emergency fund, and payment of claims. The authority to
collect the tax expired on December 31, 1994. Legislation will be
proposed to reinstate the authority to collect the tax and raise the cap
from $1 billion to $2.5 billion.

The Maritime Security Program provides resources to maintain a U.S.-
flag merchant fleet crewed by U.S. citizens to serve both the commercial
and national security needs of the United States. The program provides
direct payments to U.S.-flag ship operators engaged in U.S.-foreign
trade. Participating operators would be required to keep the vessels in
active commercial service and would be required to provide intermodal
sealift support to the Department of Defense in time of war or national
emergency.

Public Law 99-198 amended section 901 of the Merchant Marine Act to
increase from 50 to 75 percent the amount of agricultural commodities
under specified programs that must be carried on U.S.-flag vessels. The
increased cost associated with this expanded U.S.-flag shipping
requirement stems from higher rates charged by U.S.-flag carriers
compared with foreign-flag carriers. The Maritime Administration is
required to reimburse the Department of Agriculture for ocean freight
differential costs for the added tonnage above 50 percent. These
reimbursements are funded through borrowings from the Treasury. This
account has a permanent, indefinite appropriation to liquidate debt
provided in Public Law 100-202 to cover these costs.
The Maritime Administration's ocean freight differential costs are
one portion of the government's cargo preference program. The ocean
transportation subsidy costs related to cargo preference for all
relevant agencies are presented in the following schedule.

Beginning in 1996, funding for the Ready Reserve Force (RRF) account
is included in appropriations for the Department of Defense. Management
of the RRF remains with MARAD. Reimbursements from the Department of
Defense for the RRF account are reflected in MARAD's Vessel Operations
Revolving Fund account.
The RRF is comprised of Government-owned, U.S.-flag merchant ships
laid up in the National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF). The RRF is
maintained in an advanced state of readiness to meet surge shipping
requirements during a national emergency.

The Maritime Administration is authorized to reactivate, operate,
deactivate, and charter merchant vessels. These operations are financed
through the Vessel Operations Revolving Fund with reimbursements from
sponsoring agencies. In addition, the fund is available to finance the
necessary expenses to protect, maintain, preserve, acquire, and use
vessels involved in mortgage foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings
instituted by the United States other than those financed by the Federal
Ship Financing Fund; and to process advances received from Federal
agencies. Also the acquisition of ships under the trade-in/scrap-out
program is financed through this account.
Programs are funded by reimbursements from other Federal agencies.
These programs include various DOD/Navy-sponsored activities, such as
the operation of activated RRF vessels, installation of sealift
enhancement features and other special projects. Beginning in 1996, the
Vessel Operations Revolving Fund account included DOD/Navy
reimbursements for the RRF account. DOD/Navy funding for RRF provides
for additional RRF vessels, RRF ship activations and deactivations,
maintaining RRF ships in an advanced state of readiness, berthing costs,
capital improvements at fleet sites, and other RRF support costs.

The Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended, established the Federal
Ship Financing Fund to assist in the development of the U.S. merchant
marine by guaranteeing construction loans and mortgages on U.S.-flag
vessels built in the United States. In 1995, $574 million unobligated
balance was returned to the Treasury to be used for other purposes. No
new commitments for loan guarantees are projected for 1997 for the
Federal Ship Financing Fund. Operating expenses incurred in the
operation of the Federal Ship Financing Fund will continue to be paid
from income to the fund. In 1997, the estimate includes $50 million as a
contingency against possible defaults. The fund receives income from
insurance premiums on construction loans and mortgages, fees, and
interest on mortgages held directly and sale of defaulted assets.
The 1995 end of year balance in the Federal Ship Financing Fund is
primarily a result of sale of assets, normal collection of periodic loan
guarantee fees, and interest income.

The Surface Transportation Board was created on January 1, 1996, by
P.L. 104-88, the ICC Termination Act of 1995. Consistent with the
continued trend toward less regulation of the surface transportation
industry, the ICC Termination Act of 1995 abolished the ICC; eliminated
certain functions that had previously been implemented by the ICC;
transferred core rail and certain other functions to the Board; and
transferred motor licensing and certain other motor functions to the
Federal Highway Administration. The Board is specifically responsible
for the regulation of the rail and pipeline industries and certain non-
licensing regulation of motor carriers and water carriers. The new law
empowers the Board through its exemption authority to promote
deregulation administratively on a case-by-case basis and continues
intact the important rail reforms of the Staggers Rail Act of 1980,
which have helped substantially improve rail service and the
profitability of the railroad industry.
Rail Carriers.--This regulatory oversight encompasses the regulation
of rates, mergers, acquisitions, construction and abandonment of
railroad lines, as well as the planning, analysis and policy development
associated with these activities. Staff ensure compliance with railroad
regulations in order to protect the public interest.
Other Surface Transportation Carriers.--This regulatory oversight
includes certain regulation of the intercity bus industry and surface
pipeline carriers as well as the rate regulation of water transportation
in the non-contiguous domestic trade, household good carriers, and
collectively determined motor rates.
FY 1997 Program Request.--A total of $15,125,000 is requested to
expand current Board staffing to meet projected one-time workload
increases imposed by the ICC Termination Act of 1995 (ICCTA) as well as
ongoing workload demands. This amount is proposed to be derived from
user fees collected from the beneficiaries of the Board's activities.
The fee financing proposal stems from a proposal originally put forward
by the Board's predecessor, the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC).
This proposal suggested financing the ICC solely with fees in lieu of
termination. Fee financing the ICC successor, in the same way as
proposed for ICC, will relieve the general taxpayer of the burden of
supporting the Board. Further, fee financing will increase the
accountability of the Board as to the value of the activities it
provides to its customers. In addition to the amounts described above,
$219,000 is expected to be collected through reimbursements from other
agencies.
The following paragraph is presented in compliance with Section 703
of the ICCTA and does not reflect the views of the Administration. It is
presented without changes or correction.
The Board's Request.--The Board had submitted to the Secretary of
Transportation and the Office of Management and Budget a fiscal year
1997 appropriation request of $13,444,000 and a request for $2,119,000
from reimbursements from the offsetting collection of user fees and from
other agencies. The appropriation request includes $12,000,000 for the
current level of funding provided by the ICC Termination Act of 1995
(ICCTA), $444,000 for annual pay and on-pay adjustments, and $1,000,000
for the statutory liability of severance payments and unemployment
compensation costs for former Interstate Commerce Commission and Board
employees who were separated from government service during FY 1996 and
whose payments will continue into FY 1997. The $2,119,000 request from
reimbursements includes $219,000 from reimbursements from other agencies
and $1,900,000 from the offsetting collection of user fees, which is
based on the costs incurred by the Board for fee-related activities and
is commensurate with the costs of processing parties' submissions. This
level of funding is necessary to complete several rulemakings and meet
several deadlines to implement the ICCTA, in addition to the ongoing
caseload. Furthermore, the Board needs adequate resources to perform key
functions under the ICCTA, including rail rate reasonableness cases;
rail consolidations and abandonments; motor carrier undercharges; and
expected Amtrak compensation disputes.

[Sec. 355. Sense of Senate Regarding United States/Japan Aviation
Dispute.--(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) the Governments of the United States and Japan entered into
a bilateral aviation agreement in 1952 that has been modified
periodically to reflect changes in the aviation relationship between
the two countries;
(2) in 1994 the total revenue value of passenger and freight
traffic for United States air carriers between the United States and
Japan was approximately $6,000,000,000;
(3) the United States/Japan bilateral aviation agreement
guarantees three United States carriers ``beyond rights'' that
authorize them to fly into Japan, take on additional passengers and
cargo, and then fly to another country;
(4) the United States/Japan bilateral aviation agreement
requires that, within 45 days of filing a notice with the Government
of Japan, the Government of Japan must authorize United States air
carriers to serve routes guaranteed by their ``beyond rights'';
(5) United States air carriers have made substantial economic
investment in reliance upon the expectation their rights under the
United States/Japan bilateral aviation agreement would be honored by
the Government of Japan;
(6) the Government of Japan has violated the United States/Japan
bilateral aviation agreement by preventing United States air
carriers from serving routes clearly authorized by their ``beyond
rights''; and
(7) the refusal by the Government of Japan to respect the terms
of the United States/Japan bilateral aviation agreement is having
severe repercussions on United States air carriers and, in general,
customers of these United States air carriers.
(b) Action Requested.--The Congress--
(1) calls upon the Government of Japan to honor and abide by the
terms of the United States/Japan bilateral aviation agreement and
immediately authorize United States air cargo and passenger carriers
which have pending route requests relating to their ``beyond
rights'' to immediately commence service on the requested routes;
(2) calls upon the President of the United States to identify
strong and appropriate forms of countermeasures that could be taken
against the Government of Japan for its egregious violation of the
United States/Japan bilateral aviation agreement; and
(3) calls upon the President of the United States to promptly
impose against the Government of Japan whatever countermeasures are
necessary and appropriate to ensure the Government of Japan abides
by the terms of the United States/Japan bilateral aviation
agreement.]
