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).

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.
Operations
(Legislative Proposals)
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 fund currently provides direct support for the aviation
insurance program authorized under chapter 443 of title 49, U.S. Code
(formerly Title XIII of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958). Income to the
fund is derived from premium deposits for premium insurance coverage
issued, income from authorized investments, and binder fees for
nonpremium coverage issued. The binders provide aviation insurance
coverage for U.S. air carrier aircraft used in connection with certain
Government contract operations by the Department of Defense and the
Department of State.

donated), and an amount necessary to maintain a reasonable operating
reserve, as determined by the FAA Administrator: Provided further, That
such fund shall provide services on a competitive basis: Provided
further, That an amount not to exceed four percent of the total annual

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.

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 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.

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.

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-
[[Page 808]]
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 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.

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.

Public Law 99-198 amended section 901 of the Merchant Marine Act to
increase from 50 to 75 percent the amount
[[Page 825]]
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.
