        The Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-264)
    authorized the collection of user fees for services provided by the FAA
    to aircraft that neither takeoff nor land in the United States, commonly
    known as overflight fees. In addition, the Act permanently appropriated
    the first $50 million of such fees to be used for the Essential Air
    Service program and rural airport improvements. Amounts collected in
    excess of $50 million are permanently appropriated for authorized
    expenses of the FAA. The Budget estimates that $100 million in
    overflight fees will be collected in 1998.

        To carry out its unique duties as a peacetime operating agency and
    one of the military services, the Coast Guard employs multipurpose
    vessels, aircraft, and shore units, strategically located along the
    coasts and inland waterways of the United States and in selected areas
    overseas. The 1998 request provides for the safety of the public, and
    the Coast Guard's work force, with a continued emphasis on critical
    national security and law enforcement missions. For example, the request
    includes $354 million for drug interdiction activities, an increase of
    $34 million over 1997. An additional $33 million for drug interdiction
    capital expenses is requested in the Acquisition, Construction, and
    Improvements account.

        Legislation will be proposed to assess and collect fees from
    commercial maritime carriers to recover the Coast Guard's cost of
    providing domestic icebreaking services, beginning in fiscal year 1999.
    Such fees will not apply to fishing or recreational vessels.

    provides for the acquisition, construction, and improvement of the
    vessels, aircraft, information management resources, shore facilities,
    and aids to navigation required to execute the Coast Guard's missions
    and achieve its performance goals.

        Vessels.--In 1998, the Coast Guard will acquire multi-mission
    platforms that use advanced technology to reduce life cycle operating
    costs. The seagoing buoy tender, coastal patrol boat, motor lifeboat and
    buoy boat acquisitions will continue. The Deepwater capability
    replacement study will commence in 1998.

        Aircraft.--In 1998, the Coast Guard will acquire assets that ensure
    safety in the performance of missions. The Traffic Alert and Collision
    Avoidance System (TCAS) project will be completed. Conversion of the HC-
    130 engines and improvements to the HH-65 helicopter will continue. In
    1998, the Coast Guard will fund a project to preserve the capability of
    its Long Range Search aircraft.

        Other Equipment.--In 1998, the Coast Guard will invest in numerous
    management information and decision support systems that will result in
    increased efficiencies, FTE reduc-

    [[Page 766]]

    tions, and operating and maintenance savings. The Marine Information for
    Safety and Law Enforcement (MISLE), National Distress System (NDS) and
    Communications System 2000 projects will continue. The software
    conversion project will be completed in 1998.

        Shore Facilities.--In 1998, the Coast Guard will invest in modern
    structures that are more energy-efficient, comply with regulatory codes,
    and minimize follow-on maintenance requirements. Streamlining exit costs
    will continue to take priority in 1998.

        Personnel and Related Costs.--Personnel resources will be utilized
    to execute the AC&I projects described above.

        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 1998 from the Boat Safety Account of the Aquatic Resources
    Trust Fund. Federal funding for assistance to States will be provided
    under proposed reauthorization legislation that would make available a
    total of $55 million in mandatory funds from the Aquatic Resources Trust
    Fund to the Secretary of Transportation for the Boating Safety State
    Grant program in 1998, including $20 million transferred from the Sport
    Fish Restoration Account under the authority of Title V of the ``Oceans
    Act of 1992'' (P.L. 102-587).

        The Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and the Federal Boat
    Safety Act of 1971 (Public Law 92-75), as amended, have provided 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. In
    turn, appropriations are authorized from this fund to meet expenditures
    for programs specified by law. Excise tax receipts for the Sport Fish
    Restoration program include a portion of motorboat fuel tax receipts,
    plus receipts from taxes on sport fishing equipment, sonar and fish
    finders, and small engine fuel. Excise tax receipts for the Boat Safety
    program are a portion of motorboat fuel tax receipts. Legislation will
    be proposed to reauthorize the transfer of certain receipts into the
    Aquatic Resources Trust Fund.

        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, oil spill recovery, and payment of claims. Beginning in 1997,
    pursuant to the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1996, this fund also
    finances annual disbursements to the Prince William Sound Oil Spill
    Recovery Institute equal to interest accrued by the Fund's investment of
    remaining funding authorized for the Institute by the Oil Pollution Act
    of 1990. 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 fund's cap from $1 billion to $2.5 billion.

    operating and maintaining the air traffic control system, and ensuring
    the safety and security of its operation. The 1998 budget requests a
    total funding level of $5,386 million for FAA operations, including
    $5,336 million in appropriated spending and $50 million in direct
    spending. This funding level represents a nine percent increase for FAA
    operations relative to 1997, and will provide a net increase of 500 air
    traffic controllers, 273 safety inspectors and certification personnel,
    and 200 aviation security personnel.

        The 1998 budget proposes the collection of $400 million in user fees
    for services provided by the FAA. Of these fees, $100 million will be
    available for expenditure without further appropriations action,
    including $50 million for the payments to air carriers program and $50
    million for authorized expenses of the FAA, consistent with P.L. 104-
    264. The $300 million in new user fees proposed in the budget are an
    interim measure until comprehensive financial reform is achieved for the
    FAA. The Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 established the
    National Civil Aviation Review Commission to propose long-term financing
    mechanisms for FAA's operation and modernization efforts.

        The Administration proposes to transfer the National Oceanic and
    Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Aeronautical Charting and
    Cartography to the FAA. As a first step, NOAA will operate the program
    for the FAA in 1998 on a reimbursable basis, with the program being
    completely transferred to the FAA in 1999.

        The Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-264)
    authorized the collection of user fees for services provided by the FAA
    to aircraft that neither takeoff nor land in the United States, commonly
    known as overflight fees. In addition, the Act permanently appropriated
    the first $50 million of such fees to be used for the Essential Air
    Service program and rural airport improvements. Amounts collected in
    excess of $50 million are permanently appropriated for authorized
    expenses of the FAA. The Budget estimates that $100 million in
    overflight fees will be collected in 1998, of which $50 million will be
    available without further appropriation action to fund FAA Operations.
    In the future, this special fund account will be merged with the FAA
    Operations account.

        In addition to amounts otherwise available under this head, to be
    derived from additional user fees and to become available upon enactment
    of authorizing legislation, $300,000,000: Provided That, upon enactment
    of such legislation, any such additional fees received in excess of
    $300,000,000 shall be available until expended without further
    appropriation for the purposes of this account.

        The Aviation User Fee proposal is one of several proposals in the
    1998 budget to charge fees to users directly availing themselves of, or
    subject to, a government service, program, or activity, in order to
    cover the government's costs. Legislation will be proposed to authorize
    the fees and, upon enactment of the authorization, the appropriations
    language proposed above will make funds available for expenditure.
    Because the current requirements of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990
    make it difficult to fund discretionary programs with receipts that are
    not authorized in appropriations acts, the Administration is proposing a
    change in the requirements to facilitate the enactment of proposals such
    as this one.

        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) and the Small Business
    Job Protection Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-188), 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; was reenacted in August 1996; but expired again in December
    1996. Reenactment is assumed to occur by April 1, 1997. It is estimated
    that $2 billion of aviation tax revenue will be foregone in 1997.

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

        Subchapter I of chapter 471, title 49, U.S. Code (formerly the
    Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, as amended) provides for
    airport improvement grants which emphasize capacity development, safety
    and security needs and chapter 475 provides for grants for aircraft
    noise mitigation and planning. Since smaller airports with scheduled
    passenger service have fewer alternatives for funding airport
    improvements, the 1998 Budget proposes maintaining the level of
    development funding available to them at the 1997 amounts.

        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 continued
    implementation of voice switching and control system, to modernize the
    system's communications network.

        The Administration supports full funding of multi-year, fixed asset
    projects as part of an ongoing attempt to improve the cost and
    performance of agency procurements. To implement the Administration's
    full funding policy, advance appropriations are requested for the
    following multi-year projects, or usable project segments: Aviation
    Weather Services Improvements, Terminal Digital Radar, Terminal
    Automation (STARS), Wide Area Augmentation System for GPS, Display
    System Replacement, Weather and Radar Processor, Voice Switching and
    Control System, Tower Automation Program, Oceanic Automation System,
    Aeronautical Data Link, Operational and Supportability Implementation
    System (OASIS), Northern California TRACON, and Alaskan NAS
    Interfacility Communications System. This request for advance
    appropriations is subject to change based on future enactment of FAA
    financial reform legislation that converts the FAA to user-fee
    financing.

        An advance appropriation of $100 million in 1999 is requested to
    purchase additional advanced security equipment to improve security at
    U.S. airports. The 1997 funds appropriated for this purpose will be
    expended throughout 1997 and 1998. The $100 million requested for 1999
    will continue the Federal effort in this area for an additional year.
    Longer-

    [[Page 781]]

    term decisions regarding aviation security financing will be made based
    on the work of the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and
    Security and the National Civil Aviation Review Commission.

        The 1998 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 1998, it is
    proposed that a total funding level of $5,386,100,000 be provided for
    FAA operations, including $3,425,000,000 from the Trust Fund,
    $1,611,100,000 from the General Fund, $300,000,000 from new user fees,
    and $50,000,000 in direct spending supported by fees authorized by P.L.

                         FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION

        The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of
    1991, which authorized most surface transportation programs from 1992
    through 1997 expires September 30, 1997. The President's Budget and
    reauthorization proposals build and improve upon ISTEA's successes. The
    President's Budget maintains transportation infrastructure investment,
    strengthens transportation safety programs and environmental programs,
    and continues core research activities.

        Title 23 U.S.C. (``Highways'') and other supporting legislation
    provide authority for the various programs of the Federal Highway
    Administration designed to improve highways throughout the Nation.

        In 1998, the Federal Highway Administration continues major
    programs, including the Surface Transportation Program, the National
    Highway System, Interstate Maintenance, the Highway Bridge Replacement
    and Rehabilitation Program, and the Congestion Mitigation and Air
    Quality Improvement Program. New programs include the Flexible Highway
    Infrastructure Safety Program, the Transportation Infrastructure Credit
    Program, the Intelligent Transportation Integration Program and the
    National Motor Carrier Safety Program.

        In summary, the 1998 Budget consists of $22,819 million in budget
    authority and $20,287 million in outlays. The following table compares
    1998 program levels (obligations) with those of prior years. Because
    project selection is determined by the States, the 1997 and 1998 program
    levels are estimates.

        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.

        Future Federal loans and loan guarantees for transportation
    infrastructure will be made under the proposed Transportation
    Infrastructure Credit Program.

                  High Priority Corridors Loan Program Account

        This program provided funds to make loans in 1995 to construct
    projects identified as High Priority Corridors in section 1105(f) of
    Public Law 102-240. This funding assisted in expediting the construction
    of projects already funded by section 1105(f). Current activity in this
    account reflects the repayment of the 1995 loans. Future federal loans
    and loan guarantees for transportation infrastructure will be made under
    the proposed Transportation Infrastructure Credit Program.

        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 Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1968 authorized the establishment of
    a right-of-way revolving fund. This fund was 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 1998.

        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'') and P.L.
    104-205 expanded the authorization to all States. SIBs will 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 has approved 10 SIBs and is currently accepting
    applications from additional States.

        The SIB Program is designed to strategically attract non-Federal
    funds to increase overall transportation infrastructure investment. A
    SIB is initially capitalized with Federal funds and non-Federal matching
    funds. The SIB then uses these capitalization grant funds to assist
    projects through loans and other forms of financial assistance. As loans
    are repaid, the SIB funds are replenished and the SIB can provide new
    loans or guarantees to additional transportation projects. Financial
    assistance from a SIB provides additional security or credit support for
    project financing that may result in lower capital costs.

        To capitalize a SIB, the State may deposit funds into either a
    highway or transit account or both. To initiate a SIB highway account, a
    State may deposit up to 10 percent of most of its Federal-aid highway
    apportionments. To fund a SIB transit account, a State may deposit up to
    10 percent of some of its Federal transit capital funds. A State then
    matches the SIB Federal capitalization funds in both modal accounts at
    its traditional matching ratio. Once capitalized, a SIB may provide a
    variety of financial support alternatives to assist a public or private
    project sponsor during all project stages. A SIB offers a variety of
    financial assistance which may include loans, credit enhancements,
    interest rate subsidies, letters of credit, capital reserves for bond
    financing, construction loans, and purchase and lease agreements for
    highway and transit projects. A SIB may assist a project at any portion
    of the project's total cost.

        In 1997, State Infrastructure Banks were funded from the General
    Fund.

        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 proposes that surface transportation activities
    previously supported by the General Fund be funded instead from the
    Highway Trust Fund. A payment from the Highway Trust Fund to the General
    Fund is proposed to be made equal to the funding level for such
    activities as highway construction projects for the National Park
    Service, Forest Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, among others. In
    addition, the budget proposes funding the National Passenger Rail
    Corporation and State Infrastructure Banks from the Highway Trust Fund.

        Receipts increased 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 status of the fund is as follows:

        The Federal-Aid Highways (FAH) program is designed to aid in the
    development of an intermodal transportation system that is economically
    efficient, environmentally sound, provides the foundation for the Nation
    to compete in the global economy, and moves people and goods safely.

        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 most programs from within the Federal-Aid
    Highway obligation limitation. Emergency Relief and Minimum Allocation
    programs will continue to be exempt from the limitation.

        The FAH program is funded by contract authority found in legislation
    currently provided through 1997 by the Intermodal Surface Transportation
    Efficiency Act (ISTEA).

        National highway program.--The National Highway System (NHS) Program
    provides funding for a designated National Highway System consisting of
    roads that are of primary Federal interest. 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 and
    roads connecting the NHS to intermodal facilities. Legislation
    designating the 161,000 mile system was enacted in 1995. Eligible on an
    interim basis are an additional 1,925 miles of connectors proposed by
    DOT in 1996.

        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 STP will continue with some improvements. STP funds may be
    used for transit projects. Eligibility will be expanded to include
    intercity passenger rail projects only.

        Bridge replacement and rehabilitation.--The bridge program enables
    States to respond to the problem of unsafe and inadequate bridges. The
    reauthorization proposal will consolidate the formula and discretionary
    bridge programs. 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
    will be funded under the bridge program. Funds will no longer be
    eligible for transfer to other programs unless certification is obtained
    that bridges are in good repair.

        Interstate maintenance (IM).--The IM program finances projects to
    rehabilitate, restore, and resurface the Interstate system.
    Reconstruction that does not increase capacity also is eligible.

        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. The 1998 Budget
    proposes programmatic changes to make this program comparable to other
    similar Federal disaster assistance programs. The mandatory portion of
    the ER program will be funded at $100 million.

        The 1998 budget also requests $5.8 billion in contingent funding for
    FY 1998. This fund will be available to this and other accounts as the
    need arises. Please see the Emergency Requirements for Natural Disasters
    account in the Funds Appropriated to the President chapter for more
    detailed information. The requested amount for 1998 and future years
    will be based on the average amount of emergency funding under the BEA.

        The Department of Transportation will have access to the proposed
    contingency fund once FHWA ER funds have been obligated, and a
    Presidential decision has been made to make additional funds available.
    The fund is intended to be flexible enough to respond to a variety of
    disasters and thus does not reserve or dedicate specific amounts within
    the total for the eligible programs. This flexibility is essential to
    meet the full range of disaster funding requirements.

        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 (29,600 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 (24,000 miles) and State and
    local roads (25,000 miles) that provide access to, and within, Indian
    lands.

        Transportation Enhancements Program.--In 1998, the President's
    budget proposes continued funding for Transportation Enhancements. The
    reimbursement of owners with reversionary property rights along rail-
    banked corridors will be an eligible activity.

        Congestion mitigation and air quality improvement program (CMAQ).--
    The CMAQ program directs funds toward transportation projects and
    programs to help meet and maintain national ambient air quality
    standards for ozone, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. A minimum
    \1/2\ percent of the apportionment is guaranteed to each State.

        Flexible highway infrastructure safety program.--Addressing the
    safety needs related to the highway infrastructure was previously funded
    by a 10% set-aside from the STP program funds. Legislation now proposes
    a separate highway safety program which maintains independent
    allocations for railroad/highway grade crossings and hazard elimination.
    The ability to flex hazard elimination funds to non-infrastructure
    activities would be allowed if the State has an integrated planning
    process.

        Federal highway research and technology.--The research and
    technology program develops new transportation technology that can be
    applied nationwide. The proposed elements of this program include long-
    term, advanced research; a national technology deployment program to
    accelerate the implementation of specific ``customer-driven''
    technologies; support for the delivery of new and innovative technology
    as well as the development of knowledge and skills within the
    transportation community needed to apply new technology; and, funding
    for State research, development, and technology implementation.

        Intelligent transportation systems (ITS).--The ITS program is a
    cooperative, public/private initiative to research, develop, test, and
    evaluate advanced electronic systems that can improve the operational
    safety and efficiency of existing surface transportation infrastructure.
    Proposed legislation expands and clarifies eligibility under the major
    grant programs to encompass ITS capital, operations, and maintenance for
    all infrastructure-based technology and services. Also proposed is an
    ITS deployment incentive program to provide funding

    [[Page 790]]

    to State and local officials to launch integrated Intelligent
    Transportation Infrastructure components, both rural and urban, and/or
    the development of commercial vehicle information systems and networks.

        Miscellaneous.--This category includes Scenic Byways, Tax Evasion
    Projects, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, National Recreational
    Trails, value pricing pilot, gateway border crossing pilot, and the
    Research and Special Program Administration's Strategic Planning and
    Intermodal Research Initiative.

        The National Motor Carrier Safety Program (formerly the Motor
    Carrier Safety Assistance Program) contains three components: safety
    grants, information system and analysis, and strategic safety reform.
    The purpose of the program is to provide grants to States to enforce
    Federal and compatible States standards applicable to commercial motor
    vehicle safety. In 1998, this program adds a focus on performance.

        The safety grant program is comprised of basic grants, which support
    uniform roadside driver and vehicle safety inspections, traffic
    enforcement, and compliance reviews, and performance incentive grants,
    which are designed to encourage States to plan, identify, and implement
    crash countermeasures that address those problems in their own State and
    measure program success based on the desired performance. The
    information system and analysis program would provide funding to collect
    and analyze information necessary to evaluate performance in a timely
    and accurate manner to support enforcement activities undertaken by the
    Federal and State governments. The strategic safety reform program
    focuses on providing funding for driver training programs, judicial
    outreach, and research to support regulatory reinvention initiatives.

        The new Transportation Infrastructure Credit program will provide
    direct loans and loan guarantees to States, local governments and public
    entities to assist the financing of large transportation infrastructure
    projects of regional or national significance. The loans will be for
    projects that will generate public benefits in excess of their public
    costs. Single State projects will be eligible only if the project will
    generate benefits beyond the state borders. This credit program is
    designed to increase investment in the nation's transportation system by
    attracting and expanding the use of private capital in financing
    strategic infrastructure projects with independent revenue streams.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records the subsidy costs associated with any direct loans obligates and
    loan guarantees committed (including modifications of direct loans, loan
    guarantees that result from obligations or commitments in any year), as

        Programs funded under the Operations and Research appropriation are
    described below.

        Safety Performance Standards (Rulemaking) Programs.--Supports the
    promulgation of Federal motor vehicle safety standards for motor
    vehicles, and safety-related equipment; automotive fuel economy
    standards required by the Energy Policy and Conservation Act;
    international harmonization of vehicle standards; and consumer
    information on motor vehicle safety, including the New Car Assessment
    Program.

        Safety Assurance (Enforcement) Programs.--Provides support to ensure
    compliance with motor vehicle safety and automotive fuel economy
    standards, investigate safety-related motor vehicle defects, enforce
    Federal and State Odometer law, conduct safety recalls when warranted,
    and provide safety information via the Auto Safety Hotline.

        Research and Analysis.--Provides motor vehicle safety research and
    development in support of all NHTSA programs, including the collection
    and analysis of crash data to identify safety problems, develop
    alternative solutions, and assess costs, benefits and effectiveness.
    Research will continue to concentrate on improving vehicle
    crashworthiness and crash avoidance, with new emphasis on smart air bag
    technology and continuing emphasis on the National Biomechanics Center.
    The 1998 budget includes funds to continue a national crash data
    collection program and to improve problem identification, regulatory
    reform and program evaluation activities as well as an occupant
    protection survey. Grants will be offered to states desiring to link
    crash and health care data for determining the true costs of traffic
    crashes. Funding is also provided to support the Administration's
    Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV) initiative. Support
    of NHTSA's Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) program and the
    National Advanced Driving Simulator will be provided by funds to be
    transferred from the Federal Highway Administration. Resources will also
    be provided to support the Vehicle Research Test Center (VRTC).

        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. The Safe Communities
    demonstration project provides grants to communities and injury
    prevention centers to develop and manage local injury prevention
    programs. Special emphasis this year will be given to aggressive
    drivers, excessive speeding and air bag outreach education. 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 80 percent by 1999.

        Section 402.--The Section 402 State and Community Grant Program is a
    performance based program administered by NHTSA. Grant allocations are
    determined on the basis of a statutory formula established by Congress.
    States use this funding to reduce traffic crashes, fatalities, and
    injuries. The grants are used to support State highway safety programs
    within national priorities and implemented jointly with all members of
    the highway safety community. States develop safety goals, performance
    measures, and strategic 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 available to improve safety of motorcyclists, pedestrians,
    bicyclists and older/younger drivers, and emergency medical services/
    trauma care, school bus safety, and better traffic records systems. In
    1998 the Section 402 program of the Federal Highway Administration
    (FHWA) will be merged into the National Highway Traffic Safety
    Administration (NHTSA) Section 402 formula grants program.

        Alcohol-Impaired Driving Incentive Grants.--A new ``Alcohol-Impaired
    Driving Countermeasures'' two-tiered basic and supplement grant program
    is being established to reward States that pass new laws and start more
    effective programs to attack drunk and impaired driving. This continues
    the

    [[Page 798]]

    Department's strong emphasis on impaired drivers that was addressed by
    the Section 410 incentive grant program. States may qualify for basic
    grants two ways. First, they can enact administrative license revocation
    and .08 BAC laws. Second, they can implement four of the following six
    programs: prevent persons under age 21 from obtaining alcohol; stepped-
    up police enforcement coupled with publicity; graduated licensing laws
    with nighttime driving restrictions and Zero Tolerance; achieving
    performance-based goals that reduce fatally injured drivers with a .10
    BAC or higher and increase the number of drivers with known BAC test
    results; effective sanctions for repeat DWI offenders; and enacting
    administrative license revocation laws. There are 10 supplemental grant
    criteria including open container laws; mandatory alcohol testing for
    drunk driving suspects involved in fatal or serious injury; 02 BAC per
    se law for persons under age 21 with a minimum of 30 day license
    suspension; financially self-sustaining programs and use of passive
    alcohol sensors by police.

        Occupant Protection Incentive Grants.--A new ``Occupant Protection
    Program'' is being established as a two-tiered basic and supplemental
    incentive grant to encourage States to strengthen laws and programs to
    increase safety belt and child safety seat use. States become eligible
    for basic grants by taking specific actions such as passing primary
    enforcement laws or penalty points for a belt law violation,
    demonstrating 70 percent or higher belt use statewide, and implementing
    a State Traffic Enforcement (STEP) program modeled after the North
    Carolina ``Click It or Ticket'' effort.

        National Driver Register.--NDR funding is provided to implement and
    operate the Problem Driver Pointer System (PDPS) and 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. Legislation will be proposed
    to transfer certain activities to create a public/private partnership to
    jointly operate the PDPS.

        The Federal role in the Railroad Safety program is to protect
    railroad employees and the public by ensuring the safe operation of
    passenger and freight trains. The authority to accomplish this role is
    found in Subtitle V of Title 49, United States Code. The programs of the
    Railroad Safety appropriation are grouped under three major activities.
    The Administration proposes that the cost of FRA's rail safety
    activities by fully offset by fees collected from rail carriers
    beginning in 1998.

        Federal enforcement.--Provides support for the field staff of safety
    inspectors and clerical positions located in eight regional offices
    throughout the United States. This staff is responsible for the
    enforcement of Federal safety regulations and standards.

        Automated track inspection program.--Provides support for vehicles
    which are used to survey Class I and regional and shortline routes for
    track maintenance and rehabilitation.

        Safety regulation and program administration.--Provides support for
    safety headquarters which issues standards, procedures, and regulations,
    administers post-accident and random testing of railroad employees,
    provides technical training and manages highway-rail grade crossing
    projects.

        The Alameda Transportation 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. 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 1997. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a
    present value basis. No funds are requested for this account in 1998, as

    Amtrak was derived from the General Fund prior to 1998.

                         FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION

        The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) provides funding to transit
    operators, State and local governments and other recipients for the
    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 1998, FTA's budget request totals $4.4
    billion, all of which will come from the Mass Transit Account of the
    Highway Trust Fund under legislation being proposed for FY 1998 to FY
    2003.

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

        In 1998, $634 million dollars will be available for the construction
    of new fixed guideway systems and extensions to existing fixed guideway
    systems. This will fund all projects that are expected to be under Full
    Funding Grant Agreements by the end of 1997. Funds proposed for the Los
    Angeles MOS-3 project are to be used for the North Hollywood and
    Eastside segments.

        Funding previously provided in this program for fixed guideway
    modernization and bus and bus-related facilities has been merged into
    the Formula Programs account.

        For 1998, $47 million is requested to fund the personnel and other
    support costs associated with management and direction of FTA programs.
    In 1998, FTA's expenses include the added cost of rent currently paid by
    the Department.

        Recognizing the importance of streamlining through automation, FTA
    has been a forerunner in expanding automated systems to provide better
    access to our customers. Our Electronic Grant Making and Management
    (EGGM) efforts provide on-line access to grantees for grant awards and
    disbursements. FTA has become a model of automation within the
    Department.

        Funding of $91.8 million is requested from the Mass Transit Account
    of the Highway Trust Fund 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, $8.25
    million for the Transit Cooperative Research Program, $8.25 million for
    Statewide Planning, $16.8 million for the National Planning and Research
    Program, $3.0 million for the National Transit Institute, $6 million for
    University Transportation Centers, and $10 million to fully fund the
    Federal commitment to demonstrate the Advanced Technology Transit Bus in
    public transit service.

        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 hybrid
    electric transit buses, fuel cells, and battery powered propulsion
    systems.

        Funds for the State and local component of the program improve the
    State and local planning process.

        In 1998 this account will also include $6 million for the University
    Transportation Centers previously funded under a general fund
    appropriation. FTA's $6 million will be combined with a like amount of
    funding from the Federal Highway Administration to support research,
    education, and technology development activities aimed at addressing
    regional and national transportation problems.

        Beginning in 1998, funds for the Washington Metropolitan Area
    Transit Authority (WMATA) are requested from the Mass Transit Account of
    the Highway Trust Fund.

        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 1998, $200 million is requested under the 1990 authorization to
    continue funding the final 13.5 miles of the 103-mile system under the
    Federal Transit Administration's Full Funding Grant Agreements with
    WMATA. These funds will be used to continue construction of the
    Glenmont, Mid-City, and Branch Avenue segments; and to provide for
    project management, real estate acquisition, and other expenses such as
    contingencies and insurance.

        Formula Programs, requested at a $3.4 billion level in 1998, consist
    of several activities designed to provide safe and reliable
    transportation service to the American public. Formula funding can be
    used for all transit purposes (including planning, bus and railcar
    purchases, facility repair and construction, and, in areas under 200,000
    population, operating costs). This helps maximize flexibility for
    transit authorities and allows them to prioritize and target funds to
    their most important needs. This account includes funds previously
    appropriated for fixed guideway modernization and bus and bus-related
    facilities in the Discretionary Grants program.

        All Formula Programs are proposed to be financed from the Mass
    Transit Account of the Highway Trust Fund and apportioned to urbanized
    areas and governors of the States. Liquidating cash appropriations are
    subsequently requested to fund outlays resulting from obligations
    incurred under contract authority.

        Urbanized Area Formula Grants.--$3,127 million in funds will be
    apportioned to areas with populations of 50,000 or more. Funds may be
    used for any transit capital purpose, including preventive maintenance
    for these capital assets, in urban areas over 200,000 in population. The
    definition of capital will be expended to include costs associated with
    routine maintenance, thus allowing transit providers the flexibility to
    more effectively manage Federal capital investments. In urbanized areas
    under 200,000 both capital and operating costs will be eligible
    expenditures. This funding will assist public transit agencies in
    meeting the requirements of the Clean Air Act Amendments and the
    Americans with Disabilities Act. These funds are critical to preserving
    mobility in our cities and supporting welfare reform by providing an
    affordable commute for people making the transition to work.

        Fixed Guideway Modernization.--Beginning in 1998, funds distributed
    by statutory formula for Fixed Guideway Modernization under the current
    Discretionary Grants program will be included in Formula Programs and
    will continue to be distributed by the current statutory formula.
    Grantees will be able to use this funding for any eligible activity
    under the Urbanized Area Formula Grants program, as well as to upgrade
    rail facilities and equipment and replace rail rolling stock.

        Formula Program for other than Urbanized Areas.--$124 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.
    Available funding may be used to support intercity bus service as well
    as to help meet rural and small urban areas' transit needs. This will
    also include resources under the Rural Transit Assistance Program.

        Formula Grants for Special Needs of Elderly Individuals and
    Individuals with Disabilities.--$58 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.
    Grants are made for the purchase of vehicles and equipment and for
    transportation services under a contract, lease or similar arrangement.

        Access to Jobs and Training.--$100 million. Legislation is proposed
    to establish a new activity to help assure that efforts to reform
    welfare will be successful. State and local entities may apply for funds
    to support new or modified service for low-income individuals, including
    former welfare recipients traveling to jobs or training centers.

        The Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (SLSDC) is a
    wholly owned Government Corporation responsible for the operation,
    maintenance and development of the United States portion of the St.
    Lawrence Seaway between Montreal and Lake Erie. Major priorities are to
    control Seaway Corporation costs and to encourage increased use of the
    Seaway system.

        SLSDC is proposed as a performance-based organization (PBO) for
    1998-2002. The PBO will focus on four key performance goals: safety,
    long and short term reliability, trade development, and management
    accountability including customer service, fiscal performance and cost
    effectiveness. No appropriation is requested as financing is proposed to
    be derived from an automatic annual payment from the Harbor Maintenance
    Trust Fund, based on five-year average tonnage through the Seaway.

        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 1997, the Budget proposes to limit 1998
    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 (ICCTA). Consistent with
    the continued trend toward less regulation of the surface transportation
    industry, the ICCTA 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 to substantially improve
    rail service and the profitability of the railroad industry.

        Rail Carriers.--This regulatory oversight encompasses the regulation
    of rates, mergers, and 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 and the processing of truck
    undercharge matters.

        1998 Program Request.--A total of $14.3 million is requested to
    implement rulemakings and adjudicate the ongoing caseload within the
    directives and deadlines set forth by the ICCTA. It reflects the
    elimination of two FTE associated with the completion of one-time
    workload imposed by ICCTA and productivity improvements derived from
    increased automation, revised GSA rent estimates, and the 2.8% payraise.
    It also reflects the anticipated carryover of approximately $0.8 million
    in fees derived from 1997 rail merger activities. The total program
    request amount is proposed to be derived from user fees collected from
    the beneficiaries of the Board's activities. This fee financing proposal
    stems from a proposal put forward by the Board's predecessor, the
    Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC). That proposal suggested ways of
    financing the ICC solely with fees and/or industry assessments. Fee
    financing will relieve the general taxpayer of the burden of supporting
    the Board. Further, fee financing will emphasize the accountability of
    the Board as to the value of the activities it provides to its
    customers.

        The following paragraph is presented in compliance with Section 703
    of the ICCTA and does not reflect the views of the Administration. For
    example, it reflects a higher 1998 payraise for STB employees than the
    Administration requests for other Federal employees. It is presented
    without change or correction.

        The Board's Request.--The Board had submitted to the Secretary of
    Transportation and the Office of Management and Budget a 1998
    appropriation request of $12.753 million and a request for $3.1 million
    from reimbursements from the offsetting collection of user fees. The
    appropriation request included $12.244 million, the current level of
    funding provided by the 1997 Department of Transportation Appropriations
    Act, plus $0.509 million for annual pay and non-pay adjustments. The
    $3.1 million request from the offsetting collection of user fees is
    commensurate with the $3 million offsetting collection level authorized
    by the 1997 Appropriations Act. The offsetting collection of user fees
    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 implement rulemakings and
    adjudicate the ongoing caseload within the deadlines imposed by the
    ICCTA. The Board requires adequate resources to perform key functions
    under the ICCTA, including rail rate reasonableness oversight; the
    processing of rail consolidations, abandonments and other restructuring
    proposals; and the resolution of motor carrier undercharge matters.

                       BUREAU OF TRANSPORTATION STATISTICS

        The Bureau's goal is the improvement of transportation-related
    decisionmaking, in both the public and private sectors, leading to
    increases in efficiency, effectiveness, and safety in all modes of
    transportation. The Bureau is responsible for compiling, analyzing, and
    disseminating information on the nation's transportation systems. The
    Bureau's customers

    [[Page 823]]

    are Federal, state, and local governments, private corporations and
    individuals.

        Financing of the Bureau's operations is authorized as contract
    authority out of the Highway Trust Fund. The 1998 proposed funding level
    is $31 million. 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 $24.7 million in 1997 and $31 million in 1998.

        The Bureau also includes the Office of Airline Information, formerly
    the Office of Airline Statistics in the Research and Special Programs
    Administration.

        During 1996, the Bureau was given responsibility for collecting
    motor carrier financial and safety data. This program was previously
    administered by the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC). Responsibility
    was transferred to the Bureau by the ICC Termination Act of 1995, P.L.
    104-88.

                             MARITIME ADMINISTRATION

        The Maritime Administration is responsible for programs authorized
    by the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as amended, and other related acts, to
    promote a strong U.S. Merchant Marine. Emphasis is placed on increasing
    the competitiveness and productivity of the U.S. maritime industries as
    well as ensuring adequate seafaring manpower for peacetime and national
    emergencies. Programs include: providing operating aid to U.S.-flag
    operators; administering the Federal Ship Financing Fund loan portfolio;
    reimbursing the Commodity Credit Corporation for the expanded cargo
    preference requirement in the Food Security Act of 1985; preserving and
    maintaining merchant ships retained in the National Defense Reserve
    Fleet including the Ready Reserve Force; emergency planning and
    coordination; promoting port and intermodal development; and conducting
    Federal technology assessment projects.

        The Operating-Differential Subsidies (ODS) account helps to maintain
    a U.S.-flag merchant fleet to serve both the commercial and national
    security needs of the U.S. by providing operating subsides to U.S.-flag
    ship operators to offset certain differences between U.S. and foreign
    operating costs. Appropriations are provided to liquidate contract
    authority. This program has been replaced by the Maritime Security
    Program. Appropriations will be provided to honor existing contracts
    through 2002. No new ODS contracts will be entered into and no existing
    contracts will be modified.

        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 are required to keep the vessels in
    active commercial service and are required to provide intermodal sealift
    support to the Department of Defense in times of war or national
    emergency.

    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.

        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

    [[Page 827]]

    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. The Vessel Operations
    Revolving Fund account includes 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.

        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 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 guarantee
    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.

        Funds for administrative expenses for the Title XI program are
    appropriated to this account, then transferred to the Operations and
    Training account to be obligated and outlayed. The schedule above shows
    the post-transfer amounts for 1996. For 1997 and 1998, the schedule
    displays pre-transfer amounts in order to comply with the Federal Credit
    Reform Act of 1990.

        Language will be proposed in the FY 1998 Budget to amend the
    Merchant Marine Act of 1936 such that the Title XI program will conform
    more closely with the Federal Credit Reform Act, thereby reducing the
    risk to the Federal government.
