    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 1999 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 $369 million for drug interdiction activities. An additional 
$67 million for drug interdiction capital expenses is requested in the 
Acquisition, Construction, and Improvements account.

    As part of a continuing effort to streamline the Coast Guard, the 
1999 Budget assumes facility closures and other streamlining that will 
yield over $20 million in annual savings by 2001.

    The Acquisition, construction, and improvements (AC&I) appropriation 
provides for the acquisition, construction, and improvement of the 
vessels, aircraft, information management resources, shore facilities, 
and aids to navigation required to execute the Coast Guard's missions 
and achieve its performance goals.

    The 1999 Budget proposes the establishment and collection of a user 
fee on commercial cargo carriers for navigational assistance provided by 
the Coast Guard. This fee will be credited to the Acquisition, 
Construction, and Improvements account. Fiscal year 1999 fee collections 
are estimated to be $35 million, based on one-quarter year 
implementation of the charge (yielding a 1999 AC&I program level of 
$442,773,000). When fully implemented, fees are expected to recover $165 
million of the Coast Guard's costs annually.

    A Presidential Advisory Council will review the Coast Guard's 
missions beginning in early 1998. Special attention will be given to the 
Coast Guard's deepwater missions; the Council's recommendations will 
help to shape the Deepwater Capability Replacement Project, a 
recapitalization of the Coast Guard's large cutters and aircraft set to 
begin in 2001. This review, which will be similar to recent reviews of 
the Department of Defense, is the first comprehensive study of the Coast 
Guard since 1982.

    Vessels.--In 1999, the Coast Guard will acquire multi-mission 
platforms that use advanced technology to reduce life cycle operating 
costs. The seagoing buoy tender, coastal patrol boat, motor lifeboat and 
buoy boat acquisitions will continue. The Deepwater capability 
replacement analysis will commence in 1998. This analysis will identify 
the types of assets and technologies needed to perform basic Deepwater 
mission functions at minimum cost. Such information will advise future 
decisions on the scope of the Deepwater project.

    Aircraft.--In 1999, the Coast Guard will acquire assets that ensure 
safety in the performance of missions. Conversion of the HC-130 engines 
will be completed in 1999. Improvements to the HH-65 helicopter and 
upgrade of the HC-130 sensors will continue.

    Other Equipment.--In 1999, the Coast Guard will invest in numerous 
management information and decision support systems that will result in 
increased efficiencies, FTE reduc- tions, and operating and maintenance 
savings. The Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement (MISLE), 
National Distress System (NDS) and Communications System 2000 projects 
will continue.

    Shore Facilities.--In 1999, the Coast Guard will invest in modern 
structures that are more energy-efficient, comply with regulatory codes, 
and minimize follow-on maintenance requirements.

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

    This appropriation provides the Government's share of the costs for 
altering or removing bridges determined to be obstructions to 
navigation. Consistent with proposed National Economic Crossroads 
Transportation Efficiency Act (NEXTEA) legislation, alteration of 
obstructive highway and railroad bridges will be eligible for funding 
from the Federal-Aid Highways program. The Coast Guard will continue to 
make the determinations as to whether any bridge presents an 
unreasonable obstruction to navigation, and to administer the program.

    This account provides grants 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 1999 from the 
Boat Safety Account of the Aquatic Resources Trust Fund. Federal funding 
for grants 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 1999.

    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 only. Legislation 
has been proposed to reauthorize the transfer of certain receipts into 
the Aquatic Resources Trust Fund. The proposed reauthorization of the 
Boat Safety program would alter the distribution of motorboat fuel tax 
receipts between the Boat Safety and Sport Fish Restoration accounts.

    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 remove the cap on the Fund's balance.

    Funding for the Federal Aviation Administration is proposed as part 
of the Transportation Fund for America. This proposal highlights the 
Administration's priority to fund

transportation programs. A discussion of the Transportation Fund for 
America, and two other funds for the environment and research, can be 
found in Section II of the Budget.

    In addition, the Budget proposes to present obligation limitations 
as discretionary budget authority. This will clarify the budget 
presentation and provide transportation programs with the same budgetary 
treatment as all other programs funded through obligation limitations.

    The following table depicts the total funding for all Federal 
Aviation Administration programs, for which more detail is furnished in 
the budget schedules:

    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 1999 budget requests a 
total funding level of $5,631 million for FAA operations, including 
$5,588 million in appropriated spending and $43 million in direct 
spending. This funding level represents a 5.5 percent increase for FAA 
operations relative to 1998, and will provide a net increase of 185 air 
traffic controllers, 150 maintenance technicians, and 45 aviation safety 
inspectors and aircraft certification personnel.

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 $93 million in overflight 
fees will be collected in 1999, of which $43 million will be available 
without further appropriation action to fund FAA Operations.

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.

(Public Law 101-508) and 1993 (Public Law 103-66), the Small Business 
Job Protection Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-188) and the Taxpayer Relief 
Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-34) provides for the receipts received in 
the Treasury from the 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. The Budget assumes 
that the current excise taxes will be eliminated over time to be 
replaced incrementally with more efficient, service-based charges. By 
2003, the NAS is proposed to be completely funded by direct user fees 
that inspire improved system management and more accurately reflect 
system use.

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

    Note.--Mission Support, has an estimated contingent liability of $87 
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 and terminal 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, Air Traffic Control Beacon Interrogator 
Replacement, Terminal Digital Radar, Terminal Automation (STARS), Wide 
Area Augmentation System for GPS, Display System Replacement, Weather 
and Radar Processor, Voice Switching and Control System, Oceanic 
Automation System, Aeronautical Data Link, and Operational and 
Supportability Implementation System (OASIS).

    The 1999 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.

    Beginning in 1999, the Budget includes funding for the Flight 2000 
free-flight demonstration program. Flight 2000 will test, in airspace 
over Alaska and Hawaii, the technology and procedures necessary to gain 
significant operational efficiencies promised by collaborative air 
traffic managment.

                     FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION

    Funding for the Federal Highway Administration is proposed as part 
of the Transportation Fund for America. This proposal highlights the 
Administration's priority to fund transportation programs. A discussion 
of the Transportation Fund for America, and two other funds for the 
environment and research, can be found in Section II of the Budget.

    In addition, the Budget proposes to present obligation limitations 
as discretionary budget authority. This will clarify the budget 
presentation and provide transportation programs with the same budgetary 
treatment as all other programs funded through obligation limitations.

    The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 
1991, which authorized most surface transportation programs from 1992 
through 1997 expired September 30, 1997. The President's Budget and 
reauthorization proposal The National Economic Crossroads Transportation 
Efficiency Act 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 1999, 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 
Enhancement Program, the Intelligent Transportation Incentive Deployment 
Program and the National Motor Carrier Safety Program.

    In summary, the 1999 Budget consists of $22,610 million in new 
budget authority and $22,962 million in outlays. The following table 
compares 1999 program levels (obligations) with those of prior years. 
Because project selection is determined by the States, the 1998 and 1999 
program levels are estimates.

1329    Weighted average subsidy rate...        6.64
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Future Federal credit enhancements for transportation infrastructure 
will be made under the proposed Transportation Infrastructure Credit 
Enhancement Program.

    Note.--The subsidy rate shown for these projects has been modified 
due to legislation enacted in 1997. It is assumed that the interest rate 
charged to these loans will be sufficient to ensure that the subsidy 
budget authority provided will support the full line of credit 
authorized using the current risk assumptions.

    The 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.

[[Page 710]]

    This program was terminated in 1996 but will continue to be shown 
for reporting purposes as loan balances remain outstanding. The purchase 
of right-of-way is an eligible expense of the Federal-aid program and 
therefore a separate program is unnecessary. A prohibition on further 
obligations is requested for 1999.

    State Infrastructure Banks are a promising way of facilitating 
needed infrastructure investment.

    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. As a result of P.L. 
104-205, the Department has expanded the pilot from 10 to 39 SIBs. Four 
of the 39 SIBs received conditional approval to participate in the pilot 
based on passage of necessary state implementing legislation.

    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.

    In 1997, State Infrastructure Banks received additional funding 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.

    This table shows the status of the resources of the Highway Trust 
Fund relative to the obligational authority that has been made available 
for programs financed by the trust fund. The encumbered balance 
indicates the degree to which the outstanding obligational authority 
exceeds the estimated cash balances of the fund each year. Under the 
laws governing the Highway Trust Fund, the amount of obligational 
authority available at any time cannot exceed the actual cash balances 
plus the amount of receipts estimated to be collected during the 
following two years; for most other trust funds obligational authority 
is limited to the actual receipts of the fund.

    The budget proposes that surface transportation activities 
previously supported by the General Fund be funded instead from the 
Highway Trust Fund. The budget proposes funding the National Passenger 
Rail Corporation, State Infrastructure

[[Page 711]]

Banks, and the Transportation credit enhancement program from the 
Highway Trust Fund.

    This Budget also reflects the transfer of receipts generated by 4.3 
cents of the motor fuel tax from the General Fund to the Highway Trust 
Fund effective in 1998, per P.L. 105-34.

    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 the 
Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) (which expired 
on September 30, 1997). This authority was extended for the first six 
months of 1998 by the Surface Transportation Extension Act. The programs 
described below are as proposed in the President's Reauthorization 
proposal, the National Economic Crossroads Transportation Efficiency Act 
(NEXTEA).

    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 2,032 miles of connectors proposed by 
DOT in 1996.

    Surface Transportation Program (STP).--The ISTEA established a new 
program that may be used by States and localities for any roads that are 
not classified as local or rural minor collector roads. STP funds may be 
used for transit projects. The STP will continue with some improvements. 
Eligibility will be expanded to include publicly owned intercity 
passenger rail projects and publicly or privately owned vehicles and 
facilities used to provide intercity passenger service by bus or rail. 
NEXTEA retains the 10% set-aside of STP funds for transportation 
enhancements and also retains State sub-allocations including the 
special rule for areas less than 5,000 population.

    Bridge replacement and rehabilitation.--The bridge program enables 
States to respond to the problem of unsafe and inadequate bridges. The 
funds are available for use on all bridges, 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 a State has no NHS 
bridges requiring posting. Any funds transferred out of the Bridge 
program must be restored to the Bridge program by the last year of the 
6-year reauthorization period.

    Interstate maintenance (IM).--The IM program finances projects to 
rehabilitate, restore, resurface and reconstruct the Interstate system. 
Reconstruction that increases capacity, other than HOV lanes, is not 
eligible for IM funds.

    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

[[Page 713]]

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 mandatory portion of the ER program will 
be funded at $100 million.

    Federal lands.--This category includes the Public Lands Highways, 
Forest Highways, Park Roads and Parkways, and Indian Reservation Roads 
programs. Roads funded under this program are open to public travel. 
State and local roads (29,500 miles) that provide important access 
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 
within the National Park System. Indian Reservation Roads program 
consists of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (25,000 miles) and State and 
local roads (25,000 miles) that provide access within Indian lands.

    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 and integrated safety 
fund.--Addressing the safety needs related to the highway infrastructure 
was previously funded by a 10% set-aside from STP funds. NEXTEA 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. NEXTEA proposes a new incentive grant program (Integrated 
Safety Fund) to foster integrated safety planning. Funds can be used 
flexibly for intrastructure safety, section 402 activities, and motor 
carrier safety activities.

    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. 
NEXTEA expands and clarifies eligibility under several of 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 support integration of the 
metropolitan travel management intelligent infrastructure and deployment 
of commercial vehicle information system and network, and rural 
intelligent transportation infrastructure.

    Miscellaneous.--This category includes Scenic Byways, Tax Evasion 
Projects, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, National Recreational 
Trails, value pricing, trade corridor and border gateway pilot, Woodrow 
Wilson Bridge, Appalachian Highways, University Transportation Centers, 
and University Research Institutes, and the Research and Special Program 
Administration's Strategic Planning and Intermodal Research Initiative.

    The Highway Safety Act of 1970 authorized grants to States and 
communities for implementing and maintaining highway-related safety 
standards. Beginning in 1997, the Highway-Related Safety Grants program 
is merged with the highway traffic safety programs of the National 
Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

    The Motor Carrier Safety 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. As part of the NEXTEA proposal, 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 Enhancement Program 
will provide $100 million per year in grants to assist in the funding of 
nationally-significant transportation projects that otherwise might be 
delayed or not constructed at all because of their size and uncertainty 
over timing of revenues. The goal is to encourage the development of 
large, capital-intensive infrastructure facilities through public-
private partnerships consisting of a State or local government and one 
or more private sector firms involved in the design, construction or 
operation of the facility. It will encourage more private sector and 
non-Federal participation, and build on the public's willingness to pay 
user fees to receive the benefits and services of transportation 
infrastructure sooner than would be possible under traditional funding 
techniques. Grants may be used to secure junior lien debt or other 
obligations requiring credit enhancement.

             NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION

    Funding for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is 
proposed as part of the Transportation Fund for America. This proposal 
highlights the Administration's priority to fund transportation 
programs. A discussion of the Transportation Fund for America, and two 
other funds for the environment and research, can be found in Section II 
of the Budget.

    In addition, the Budget proposes to present obligation limitations 
as discretionary budget authority. This will clarify the budget 
presentation and provide transportation programs with the same budgetary 
treatment as all other programs funded through obligation limitations.

    The programs administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration (NHTSA) are authorized by three separate laws: The 
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, and the Highway Safety 
Act, and the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act. The 
following table shows the funding for NHTSA programs.

    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.

[[Page 719]]

    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 odometer law and encourage enforcement of 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 1999 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 a goal for the Nation to reduce 
alcohol-related traffic fatalities to no more than 11,000 by the year 
2005. The President has established a goal of increasing safety belt use 
to 85 percent by 2000.

    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. States use this funding 
to reduce traffic crashes, fatalities, and injuries. The grants are used 
to support State highway safety programs, within national priorities, 
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 deaths and injuries on the Nation's 
highways, such as grants associated with excessive speeds, failure to 
use occupant restraints, alcohol/drug impaired driving and roadway 
safety.

    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 by implementing criteria that include: administrative license 
revocation, .08 BAC laws, stepped-up police enforcement coupled with 
publicity, and graduated licensing laws with nighttime driving 
restrictions and Zero Tolerance. States are also awarded basic grants 
for demonstrating consistently high performance in reducing alcohol-
related fatalities. There are 10 supplemental grant criteria including 
open container laws; mandatory alcohol testing for drunk driving 
suspects involved in fatal or serious injury; 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 to meet the President's 
goal to reach 85 percent belt use by 2000.

    Drugged Driving Incentive Grants.--A new incentive grant program is 
provided to encourage States to pass stronger anti-drugged driving laws 
and implement the most effective countermeasures to reduce drug-impaired 
driving, such as zero tolerance, mandatory drug testing, administrative 
license revocation, and graduated licensing systems.

    National Driver Register.--Provides funding 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.

    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 be fully offset by fees collected from rail carriers 
beginning in 1999.

    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, pro

cedures, and regulations, administers post-accident and random testing 
of railroad employees, provides technical training and manages highway-
rail grade crossing projects.

    This $3 million appropriation, along with $5.5 million in Federal 
Highway Administration funding, will enable installation, operation and 
maintenance of Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System (NDGPS) 
transmitters throughout the United States and allow enhancement and 
completion of the existing Coast Guard network. The primary beneficiary 
of NDGPS are commercial agricultural users. However, the NDGPS system 
will provide additional positioning, navigation, and timing accuracy for 
the Nation's surface intermodal transportation networks.

    The Federal Railroad Administration and the Department of 
Transportation plans to complete, by the end of calendar year 1999, a 
rulemaking to require installation of NDGPS for use as positive train 
control on our Nation's Class I railroads. As part of this rulemaking, 
DOT will also examine whether these requirements should also apply to 
automobile manufacturers.

    Future capital funding, if any, for NDGPS, will be provided through 
contributions from federal agencies whose programs will benefit from the 
new technology. Future operational funding for the NDGPS system will 
come through fees on users or manufacturers of equipment.

    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 line 
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 1999, as 
all funds required to complete this project were provided in 1997.

    The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) was established 
in 1970 through the Rail Passenger Service Act. Amtrak is operated and 
managed as a for profit corporation with all Board members appointed by 
the Executive Branch of the Federal Government, with the advice and 
consent of the Senate, and is not an agency or instrumentality of the 
U.S. Government. Funding for Amtrak will be derived from the Highway 
Trust Fund beginning in 1999.

    Northeast Corridor Improvements.--Provides support for capital 
improvements in the Northeast Corridor, including upgrading of passenger 
rail service between Washington, D.C. and Boston, MA.

    Capital grants.--Provides support for Amtrak capital requirements. 
Financing for these programs was derived from the General Fund prior to 
1999.

    Pennsylvania Station Redevelopment Project.--Provides funds to 
complete the Federal commitment of $100 million to this project.

    The President's 1999 Budget provides Amtrak with record levels of 
Federal capital financial assistance. The budget requests $621 million 
in discretionary capital appropriations in 1999 and significant amounts 
in the outyears ($571 million in 2000 and $521 million annually in 2001 
through 2003). These discretionary appropriations, when combined with 
$2.183 billion in funds made available under the Taxpayer Relief Act 
(TRA), will provide Amtrak with close to $5 billion in Federal resources 
from 1999 through 2003: nearly $4 billion to meet the Amtrak requested 
level of capital assistance and $1 billion in funds to meet the 
previously agreed to glide path for operating assistance. This will also

    The President's budget continues to highlight this Administration's 
support for Amtrak. By signing the Taxpayer Relief Act, and the Amtrak 
Reform and Accountability Act (ARAA) of 1997, President Clinton, working 
with the Congress, has provided Amtrak with record levels of Federal 
capital support while combining that support with the vigorous and 
essential reforms needed to increase Amtrak's long-term viability. This 
budget continues this approach charted in the TRA and ARAA by:

    (1) Meeting Amtrak's stated capital needs over the next five years. 
In 1997 Amtrak stated that it would need an average of $782 million per 
year over a five year period to meet its capital needs. This budget 
provides an average of $786 million per year over a five year period to 
meet Amtrak's capital needs. This commitment of funds for capital will 
provide Amtrak the firm financial footing it needs to succeed as a vital 
part of our Nation's transportation network. Amtrak's need for this 
level of capital funding was acknowledged by Congress in passage of the 
TRA and ARAA and by the General Accounting Office in its analysis of 
Amtrak's finances presented to Congress in 1997. The capital investment 
in intercity rail passenger service is not solely the responsibility of 
the Federal Government, and Amtrak must continue to work with States, 
cities and the private sector to supplement these funds.

    (2) Requiring the expenditure of these funds in a prudent and 
thoughtful fashion. The President asks the Congress to require Amtrak to 
deposit the capital funds it received under the TRA into the Capital 
Grant account and to make release of the TRA funds, as well as the $621 
million in 1999 capital appropriations, contingent upon creation of a 
thorough and prudent capital investment plan. The Administration is 
committed to working with Amtrak to ensure that the funds it has 
received are spent as part of a coherent capital plan which will lead to 
future corporate success for Amtrak.

    (3) Conforming with the carefully crafted provisions of the TRA for 
providing financial assistance to Amtrak. Section 977 of the TRA allows 
Amtrak to use over $2 billion in funding for ``the acquisition of 
equipment, rolling stock, and other capital improvements, the upgrading 
of maintenance facilities, and the maintenance of existing equipment, in 
intercity passenger rail service. . . .'' Amtrak estimates that 
approximately $400 million of its annual ``operating expenses'' are 
spent on progressive overhauls and maintenance of existing equipment and 
that these expenses are eligible for funding under the TRA. Accordingly, 
an amount of Amtrak's ``operating expenses'' (consistent with the 
previously agreed glide path to reduce federal operating assistance) is 
funded through the TRA.


 
                     FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION

    Funding for the Federal Transit Administration is proposed as part 
of the Transportation Fund for America. This proposal highlights the 
Administration's priority to fund transportation programs. A discussion 
of the Transportation Fund for America, and two other funds for the 
environment and research, can be found in Section II of the Budget.

    In addition, the Budget proposes to present obligation limitations 
as discretionary budget authority. This will clarify the budget 
presentation and provide transportation programs with the same budgetary 
treatment as all other programs funded through obligation limitations.

    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 1999, FTA's budget request totals $4.8 
billion, all of which will come from the Mass Transit Account of the 
Highway Trust Fund under legislation proposed for FY 1998 to FY 2003.

    In 1997, Congress enacted a six-month extension of the transit 
authorizations, and action on a full year authorization is pending. The 
Administration's NEXTEA proposal would provide a multi-year 
reauthorization of transit programs and restructure the programs 
accordingly.

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

    In 1999, $876 million will be available for the construction of new 
fixed guideway systems and extensions to existing fixed guideway 
systems. This will fully fund all projects that are currently under Full 
Funding Grant Agreements.

    The Administration's NEXTEA proposal is pending and would 
restructure this program beginning in 1998. Funding previously provided 
in this program for fixed guideway modernization and bus and bus-related 
facilities has been merged into the Formula Programs account.

million will be apportioned to States for Metropolitan Planning, $8.25 
million for the Transit Cooperative Research Program, $8.25 million for 
Statewide Planning, $26.9 million for the National Planning and Research 
Program, $3.0 million for the National Transit Institute, and $6.0 
million for University Transportation Centers.

    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 transit service and 
operational improvements. The National Planning and Research Program 
supports the development of innovative transit technologies, such as 
hybrid electric buses, fuel cells, and battery powered propulsion 
systems. National program funds also support the implementation of the 
Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA).

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

    In 1999, 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.

    In 1999, 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 1999, $50 million is requested under the 1990 authorization to 
complete the Federal funding for 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 for the Green Line's 
Mid-City segment and Branch Avenue extension, and to provide for project 
management and other expenses such as contingencies and insurance. An 
additional $25 million will be transferred to WMATA in 1999 for 
transportation-related expenses associated with the new D.C. convention 
center.

    Formula Programs, requested at a $3.7 billion level in 1999, consist 
of several activities designed to provide safe and reliable 
transportation service to the American public. In areas over 200,000 in 
population, formula funding can be used for all transit capital purposes 
(including planning, bus and railcar purchases, preventive maintenance 
and construction). In areas under 200,000 population, operating costs 
are also eligible. This helps maximize flexibility for transit 
authorities and allows them to prioritize and target funds to their most 
important needs.

    The Administration's NEXTEA proposal is pending and would 
restructure this program beginning in 1998. This new 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.--$3,411 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. 
Last year, the definition of capital was expanded to include costs 
associated with routine maintenance, thus allowing transit providers the 
flexibility to more effectively manage Federal capital investments. 
Also, in urbanized areas under 200,000 both capital and operating costs 
were eligible expenditures. This redefinition will be continued in 1999. 
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 1999, 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.--$135 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.--$63 million will be apportioned to each 
State according to a legislatively required formula to assist in 
providing transportation to the elderly and individuals 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.

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 
1999-2003. 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 Water Resources Development Act of 1986 authorizes use of the 
Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund as the major source of funding for the 
Corporation's operations and maintenance activities. Proposed 
legislation to establish a performance-based organization (PBO) would 
finance this using mandatory (permanent) budget authority.

    A legislative proposal to establish a PBO will be transmitted 
following the 1999 budget. This proposal would finance this program 
using mandatory (permanent) budget authority.

    The Federal Hazardous Materials Transportation law (Federal hazmat 
law), 49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq., 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 Federal hazmat law, there are permanent 
appropriations for the planning and training grants, monitoring and 
technical assistance, and for administrative expenses. As enacted for 
1998, the Budget proposes to limit 1999 activities to those authorized 
for the Department of Transportation. Appropriations are requested for 
the training curriculum.

    The Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA) intends to 
propose a rulemaking to increase the annual level

[[Page 744]]

of funding for the Emergency Preparedness Grants program to 
approximately $14.3 million beginning in 1999. RSPA is considering a 
number of ways to increase registration collections to this level.

    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 that the public and 
environment is provided with an adequate level of protection from such 
spills through data analysis, spill monitoring, pipeline mapping, 
environmental indexing, and advancing technologies to detect and prevent 
leaks.

    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.

    1999 Program Request.--A total of $16 million is requested to 
implement rulemakings and adjudicate the ongoing caseload within the 
directives and deadlines set forth by the ICCTA. 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. It is presented without change or correction.

    The Board's Request to OMB.--The Board had submitted to the 
Secretary of Transportation and the Office of Management and Budget a 
1999 appropriation request of $14.190 million and a request for $2.0 
million from reimbursements from the offsetting collection of user fees. 
This funding request supports the 135 FTEs, which mirrors the Board's 
1998 budgetary authority granted to date, and is necessary for continued 
expeditious processing of the Board's caseload. The appropriation 
request included $13.853 million, the current level of funding provided 
by the 1998 Department of Transportation Appropriations Act, plus $0.147 
million for annual pay and non-pay adjustments. The $2.0 million request 
from the offsetting collection of user fees is commensurate with the 
$2.0 million offsetting collection level authorized by the 1998 
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.

    The Board's Request to Congress.--The Board has communicated to the 
Department of Transportation its support for a program level of $16.0 
million to be derived entirely from fees.

    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. 1998 appropriations were sufficient to honor existing 
contracts. 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 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 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.

    The Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended, established the Federal 
Ship Financing Fund to assist in the development of the U.S. merchant 
marine by guaranteeing construction loans and mortgages on U.S.-flag 
vessels built in the United States. No new commitments for loan 
guarantees are projected for the Federal Ship Financing Fund as this 
Fund is used only to underwrite guarantees made under the Title XI loan 
guarantee program prior to 1992.

    This program provides for guaranteed loans for purchasers of ships 
from the U.S. shipbuilding industry and for modernization of U.S. 
shipyards.

    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 by reimbursement to the 
Operations and Training account to be obligated and outlayed. The 
schedule above shows the post-transfer amounts for 1997. For 1998 and 
1999, the schedule displays pre-transfer amounts in order to comply with 
the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990.

    [Sec. 340. (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
         (1) Congress has the authority under article I, section 8 of 
    the Constitution to regulate the air commerce of the United States;
         (2) section 47107 of title 49, United States Code, prohibits 
    the diversion of certain revenue generated by a public airport as a 
    condition of receiving a project grant;
         (3) a grant recipient that uses airport revenues for purposes 
    that are not airport-related in a manner inconsistent with chapter 
    471 of title 49, United States Code, illegally diverts airport 
    revenues;
         (4) illegal diversion of airport revenues undermines the 
    interest of the United States in promoting a strong national air 
    transportation system;
         (5) the policy of the United States that airports should be as 
    self-sustaining as possible and that revenues generated at airports 
    should not be diverted from airport purposes was stated by Congress 
    in 1982 and reaffirmed and strengthened in 1987, 1994, and 1996;
         (6) certain airports are constructed on lands that may have 
    belonged, at one time, to Native Americans, Native Hawaiians, or 
    Alaska Natives;
         (7) contrary to the prohibition against diverting airport 
    revenues from airport purposes under section 47107 of title 49, 
    United States

[[Page 757]]

    Code, certain payments from airport revenues may have been made for 
    the betterment of Native Americans, Native Hawaiians, or Alaska 
    Natives based upon the claims related to lands ceded to the United 
    States;
         (8) Federal law prohibits diversions of airport revenues 
    obtained from any source whatsoever to occur in the future whether 
    related to claims for periods of time prior to or after the date of 
    enactment of this Act; and
         (9) because of the special circumstances surrounding such past 
    diversions of airport revenues for the betterment of Native 
    Americans, Native Hawaiians, or Alaska Natives, it is in the 
    national interest that amounts from airport revenues previously 
    received by any entity for the betterment of Native Americans, 
    Native Hawaiians, or Alaska Natives, as specified in subsection (b) 
    of this section, should not be subject to repayment.
    (b) Termination of Repayment Responsibility.--Notwithstanding the 
provisions of 47107 of title 49, United States Code, or any other 
provision of law, monies paid for claims related to ceded lands and 
diverted from airport revenues and received prior to April 1, 1996, by 
any entity for the betterment of Native Americans, Native Hawaiians, or 
Alaska Natives, shall not be subject to repayment.
    (c) Prohibition on Further Diversion.--There shall be no further 
payment of airport revenues for claims related to ceded lands, whether 
characterized as operating expenses, rent, or otherwise, and whether 
related to claims for periods of time prior to or after the date of 
enactment of this Act.
    (d) Clarification.--Nothing in this Act shall be construed to affect 
any existing Federal statutes, enactments, or trust obligations created 
thereunder, or any statute of the several States that define the 
obligations of such States to Native Americans, Native Hawaiians, or 
Alaska Natives in connection with ceded lands, except to make clear that 
airport revenues may not be used to satisfy such obligations.]

Edible Oil Regulatory Reform Act (Public Law 104-55), or the amendments 
made by that Act, that does not recognize and provide for, with respect 
to fats, oils, and greases (as described in that Act, or the amendments 
made by that Act) differences in--

    properties; and
         (2) environmental effects.]

requested records within 30 days, as required by section 44936(f)(5) of 
title 49, United States Code. If the Administrator cannot make the

House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, the reasons why 
the determination cannot be made.]
