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.

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.

FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION
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
[[Page 699]]
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:

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 $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.

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), 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.

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.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

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
[[Page 723]]
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
provide over $5 billion in financial assistance from 1998 to 2002.

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.

Funding of $91.9 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, $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.

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
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 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 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.

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
[[Page 747]]
the nation's transportation systems. The Bureau's customers are Federal,
State, and local governments, private entities and individuals.
Financing of the Bureau's operations is authorized as contract
authority out of the Highway Trust Fund. The 1999 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 personnel obligations, and outlays are counted.
The Bureau also includes the Office of Airline Information and the
responsibility for collecting motor carrier financial and safety data.
MARITIME ADMINISTRATION
The Maritime Administration (MARAD) is responsible for programs
authorized by the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as amended, and other
related acts, to promote a strong U.S. Merchant Marine. Emphasis is
placed on increasing the competitiveness and productivity of the U.S.
maritime industries as well as ensuring adequate seafaring manpower for
peacetime and national emergencies. Programs include: providing
operating aid to U.S.-flag operators; administering the Maritime
Guaranteed Loan (Title XI) portfolio; reimbursing the Commodity Credit
Corporation for the expanded cargo preference requirement in the Food
Security Act of 1985; preserving and maintaining merchant ships retained
in the National Defense Reserve Fleet including the Ready Reserve Force;
emergency planning and coordination; promoting port and intermodal
development; and conducting Federal technology assessment projects.

The Operating-Differential Subsidies (ODS) account helps to maintain
a U.S.-flag merchant fleet to serve both the commercial and national
security needs of the U.S. by providing operating subsides to U.S.-flag
ship operators to offset certain differences between U.S. and foreign
operating costs. Appropriations are provided to liquidate contract
authority. This program has been replaced by the Maritime Security
Program. 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.

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

requirement in section 44936(f)(1) of title 49, United States Code that
