    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.

    This program provides funds to make loans to a maximum of $40 
million in 1995 to construct projects identified as High Priority 
Corridors in section 1105(f) of Public Law 102-240. This funding will 
assist in expediting the construction of projects already funded by 
section 1105(f).

    As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account 
records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct 
loans obligated in 1992 and later years (including modifications of 
direct loans or loan guarantees that resulted from obligations or 
commitments in any year), as well as administrative expenses of this 
program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the 
administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

    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

    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.

construction of facilities; the purchase of vehicles and equipment; the 
improvement of technology, service techniques, and methods; the support 
of regionwide transportation planning; and transit operations. In 
addition to improving general mobility, FTA provides financial 
assistance to help implement other national goals relating to mobility 
for the elderly, people with disabilities, and economically 
disadvantaged individuals. In FY 1997, FTA's budget request totals $4.3 
billion, of which $3.7 billion will come from the Mass Transit Account 
of the Highway Trust Fund.

    The following tables show the funding for Federal Transit 
Administration programs.

    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.

and 5336, to remain available until expended, [$942,925,000] 
$221,122,000: Provided, That no more than [$2,052,925,000] 
$2,151,972,000 of budget authority shall be available for these 
purposes: Provided further, That of the funds provided under this head 
for formula grants, no more than [$400,000,000] $500,000,000 may be used 
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.

    Funding of $85.5 million is requested for the Transit Planning and 
Research (TPR) Program to fund a wide variety of activities. Of the TPR 
funding, $39.5 million will be apportioned to States for Metropolitan 
Planning (49 U.S.C. 5303), $4.5 million for the Rural Transit Assistance 
Program (49 U.S.C. 5311(b)(2)), $8.25 million for the Transit 
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,

    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.

fund is derived from premium deposits for premium insurance coverage 
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.

    There is hereby established in the Treasury a fund, to be available 
without fiscal year limitation, for the costs of capitalizing and 
operating such administrative services as the FAA Administrator 
determines may be performed more advantageously as centralized services, 
including accounting, international training, payroll, travel, 
duplicating, multi-media and information technology services: Provided, 
That any inventories, equipment, and other assets pertaining to the 
services to be provided by such fund, either on hand or on order, less 
the related liabilities or unpaid obligations, and any appropriations 
made prior to the current year for the purpose of providing capital 
shall be used to capitalize such fund: Provided further, That such fund 
shall be paid in advance from funds available to the FAA and other 
Federal agencies for which such centralized services are performed, at 
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 
such fund shall provide services on a competitive basis: Provided 
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.

    The status of the fund is as follows (in millions of dollars):

    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

otherwise chargeable to lapsed appropriations for this purpose, and 
payments under the Retired Serviceman's Family Protection and Survivor 
Benefits Plans, and for payments for medical care of retired personnel

    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 Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and the Federal Boat 
Safety Act of 1971 (Public Law 92-75), as amended, provide for the 
transfer of Highway Trust Fund revenue derived from the motor boat fuel 
tax and certain other taxes to the Aquatic Resources Trust Fund. The 
Secretary of the Treasury estimates the amounts to be so transferred. In 
turn, appropriations are authorized from this fund to meet expenditures 
for programs specified by law.

    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.

preference requirement in the Food Security Act of 1985; preserving and 
maintaining merchant ships retained in the National Defense Reserve

    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.

    This program provides for guaranteed loans for purchasers of ships 
from the U.S. shipbuilding industry and for modernization of U.S. 
shipyards. In 1996, the program began operating under seven risk 
categories and corresponding subsidy rate estimates for loans to be 
approved under the Title XI program.

    As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account 
includes the subsidy costs associated with the loan guarantees 
commitments made in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of direct 
loans or loan guarantees that resulted from obligations or commitments 
in any year), as well as administrative expenses of this program. The 
subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis, the 
administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

    The Hazardous Materials Transportation Uniform Safety Act (HMTUSA) 
establishes a national registration program of shippers and carriers of 
hazardous materials. The registrants finance, through fees, emergency 
preparedness planning and training grants programs, a training 
curriculum for emergency responders, and monitoring and technical 
assistance to States, political subdivisions, and Indian tribes. In the 
HMTUSA, there are permanent appropriations for the planning and training 
grants, monitoring and technical assistance, and for administrative 
expenses. As enacted for 1996, the Budget proposes to limit 1997 
activities to those authorized for the Department of Transportation. 
Appropriations are requested for the training curriculum.

    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.

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.]
