    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.

    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.

    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 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.

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.

    In 1997, the Federal Aviation Administration established 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 
FAA's internal and external customers on a reimbursable basis. The 
initial activities included in this franchise fund in 1998 are 
international training, accounting, payroll, travel, duplicating 
services, multi-media services, and information technology.

    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.

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.

    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.

              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 
well as administrative expenses.

    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

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 Office of the Administrator is authorized in the Department of 
Transportation Act (P.L. 88-670). The programs under this account are:
        Salaries and expenses.--Provides the administrative and policy 
    support for all FRA activities and the technical support for the 
    passenger and freight programs funded under the Office of the 
    Administrator.

    payments on the property are collected from the Union Station 
    Redevelopment Corporation, credited to the Office of the 
    Administrator account, and made from this account to the deed 
    holder. Receipts are estimated to cover the mortgage payments in 
    1997 and 1998. The deed is expected to be paid in full in 2001.
        Alaska Railroad liabilities.--Provides reimbursement to the 
    Department of Labor for compensation payments to former Federal 
    employees of the Alaska Railroad who were on the rolls during the

    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 
all funds required to complete this project were provided in 1997.

    Operating Grants to the National Railroad Passenger corporation 
provide support for the on-going operations of Am-

trak, including activities previously funded under mandatory passenger 
rail service payments. The Administration will work with Congress, 
Amtrak management and labor, State governments, and other interested 
parties in the coming year to develop an affordable long-range plan that 
eliminates Amtrak's dependence on Federal operating subsidy. Funding for 
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.

    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

    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 Oil Pollution Act of 1990 requires the preparation of oil spill 
response plans by pipeline operators to minimize the environmental 
impact of oil spills and to improve public and private sector response 
capabilities. The Office of Pipeline Safety is responsible for the 
review and approval of these plans, and to ensure they provide the 
public with an adequate level of protection from such spills.

    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.

    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.

    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

[[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.
