concerned with planning, analysis, and information development needed to
support the Secretary's responsibilities in the formulation of national

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 take off nor land in the United States,
commonly known as overflight fees. The Act permanently appropriated the
first $50 million of such fees for the Essential Air Service program and
rural airport improvements. To the extent that fee collections fall
below $50 million, the law required the difference to be covered by
Federal Aviation Administration funds. The 2007 Budget proposes a $50
million program to be fully financed from overflight fees. The Budget
proposes a general provision to restructure the program.

Trust Fund. Starting in 1998, the FAA reauthorization funded it as a
mandatory program supported by overflight fees under the Essential Air
Service and Rural Airport Improvement Fund. In 2006, in addition to
mandatory funding supported by overflight fees, direct appropriations
from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund to the Payments to Air Carriers
program were enacted to meet the needs of the essential air service
program.

For 2007, the Budget requests $8,366 million. These funds will be
used to continue to promote aviation safety and efficiency. In
particular, the Budget supports the Air Traffic Organization (ATO). The
ATO is responsible for managing the air traffic control system. As a
performance-based organization, the ATO is designed to provide cost-
effective, efficient, and, above all, safe air traffic services. The
budget also funds the Aviation Safety Organization (AVS) which ensures
the safe operation of the airlines and certifies new aviation products.

The fund provides direct support for the aviation insurance program
(chapter 443 of title 49, U.S. Code). Income to the fund is derived from
premium collections 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.
The Homeland Security Act of 2002 (P.L. 107-296) required the
Secretary to provide additional war risk insurance coverage (Hull,
Passenger and Crew Liability) to air carriers insured for Third-Party
War Risk Liability as of June 19, 2002, as authorized under existing
law. Under P.L. 108-11, the Wartime Supplemental, and subsequently P.L.
108-447, Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005, the Secretary of
Transportation was directed to extend coverage for premium War Risk
Insurance through August 31, 2005, to all airlines covered as of
November 25, 2002. The Department of Transportation, Treasury, Housing
and Urban Development, Judiciary, District of Columbia and Independent
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006 (P.L. 109-115), includes an option for
a further extension until December 31, 2006. The Secretary is authorized
to limit an air carrier's, and aircraft and aircraft engine
manufacturers' third-party liability to $100 million, when the Secretary
certifies that the loss is from an act of terrorism. The FAA insurance
policies cover: (i) hull losses at agreed value; (ii) death, injury, or
property loss to passengers or crew, the limit being the same as that of
the air carrier's commercial coverage before September 11, 2001; and
(iii) third party liability, the limit generally being twice that of
such coverage.

FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION
The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity
Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), enacted August 10, 2005, provides
for increased transportation infrastructure investment, strengthens
transportation safety programs and environmental programs, and continues
core research activities. SAFETEA-LU, along with Title 23, United States
Code (``Highways'') and other supporting legislation, provides authority
for the various programs of the Federal Highway Administration designed
to improve highways throughout the Nation. The President's Budget
continues transportation infrastructure investment to increase the
mobility and productivity of the Nation, strengthens transportation
safety programs, and provides focus on program efficiencies, oversight,
and accountability.
In 2007, the Federal Highway Administration continues major
programs, including the Surface Transportation Program, the National
Highway System, Interstate Maintenance, Highway Bridge Replacement and
Rehabilitation Program, Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
Improvement Program, and Transportation Infrastructure Finance and
Innovation programs. SAFETEA-LU authorizes a new Highway Safety
Improvement Program (HSIP), and an Equity Bonus program that replaces
the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century's (TEA-21) Minimum
Guarantee program. Other new programs include the Coordinated Border
Infrastructure Program, Highways for Life Pilot Program, National

The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1968 authorized the establishment of
a right-of-way revolving fund. This fund was used to make cash advances
to States for the purpose of purchasing right-of-way parcels in advance
of highway construction and thereby preventing the inflation of land
prices from significantly increasing construction costs.
This program was terminated by TEA-21, 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.

The Highway Revenue Act of 1956, as amended, provides for the
transfer from the General Fund to the Highway Trust Fund of revenue from
the motor fuel tax and certain other taxes paid by highway users. The
Secretary of the Treasury estimates the amounts to be transferred. In
turn, appropriations are authorized from this fund to meet expenditures
for Federal-aid highways and other programs as specified by law.
The following table presents the status of the Highway Trust Fund.
The rule governing most trust funds is that the legal authority to incur
obligations against the receipts estimated to be collected by the fund
cannot exceed the cash balances of the fund, i.e., the actual receipts
estimated to be collected in that year. The laws governing the Highway
Trust Fund provide an exception to this rule. The legal authority to
incur obligations against the Highway Trust Fund can exceed the actual
cash balances up to the receipts anticipated to be collected in the
following two years.
Cash balances. The table begins with the unexpended balance on a
``cash basis'' at the start of the year. The table shows the amount of
cash invested in Federal securities at par value and the amount of cash
on hand, i.e., uninvested balance. Next, the table provides the amounts
of cash income and cash outlays during each year to show the cash
balance at the end of each year.
Commitments in excess of cash balances. Since this trust fund has
legal authority to incur obligations in excess of the cash balances, the
last part of the table presents the extent to which there are
commmitments in excess of the cash balances at the end of the year.
The status of the fund is as follows:

The Federal-Aid Highways (FAH) program is designed to aid in the
development, operations and management 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 most are 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 continues to fund most programs from within the
Federal-Aid Highway obligation limitation. Emergency Relief and a
portion of the Equity Bonus program ($639 million) will be exempt from
the limitation.
The FAH program is funded by contract authority in P.L. 109-59, the
Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A
Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). The Budget proposes an obligation
limitation for FAH of $39.1 billion. This funding level reflects the
obligation limitation authorized in SAFETEA-LU for FY 2007 and includes
an upward adjustment of $842 million based on the revenue aligned budget
authority (RABA) calculation enacted in SAFETEA-LU. Of the amount
provided under RABA, $4 million is estimated to be transferred to the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration for the motor carrier safety
grant program.
Surface transportation program (STP).--STP funds may be used by
States and localities for projects on any Federal-aid highway, bridge
projects on any public road, transit capital projects, and intracity and
intercity bus terminals and facilities. A portion of STP funds are set
aside for transportation enhancements and State sub-allocations are
provided.
National highway system (NHS).--The NHS program provides funding for
a designated National Highway System consisting of roads that are of
primary Federal interest. The NHS 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 and TEA-21 added to the system the highways and
connections to transportation facilities identified in the May 24, 1996
report to Congress.
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 (ER).--The ER program provides funds for the repair
or reconstruction of Federal-aid highways and bridges and Federally-
owned roads and bridges that have suffered serious damage as the result
of natural disasters or catastrophic failures. The ER program
supplements the commitment of resources by States, their political
subdivisions, or Federal agencies to help pay for unusually heavy
expenses resulting from extraordinary conditions.
Bridge replacement and rehabilitation.--The bridge program enables
States to improve the condition of their bridges through replacement,
rehabilitation, and systematic preventive maintenance. The funds are
available for use on all bridges, including those on roads functionally
classified as rural minor collectors and as local.
Congestion mitigation and air quality improvement program (CMAQ).--
The CMAQ program directs funds toward transpor
[[Page 866]]
tation 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.
Federal lands.--This category funds improvement for forest highways;
park roads and parkways; Indian reservation roads; and refuge roads. The
Federal Lands Highways program provides for transportation planning,
research, engineering, and construction of highways, roads, parkways,
and transit facilities that provide access to or within pubic lands,
National parks, and Indian reservations.
Transportation infrastructure finance and innovation (TIFIA)
program.--The TIFIA credit program provides funds to assist in the
development of surface transportation projects of regional and national
significance. The goal is to develop major infrastructure facilities
through greater non-Federal and private sector participation, building
on public willingness to dedicate future revenues or user fees in order
to receive transportation benefits earlier than would be possible under
traditional funding techniques. The TIFIA program provides secured
loans, loan guarantees, and standby lines of credit that may be drawn
upon to supplement project revenues, if needed, during the first 10
years of project operations.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct
loans, loan guarantees, and lines of credit obligated 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.
Federal highway research, technology and education.--Research,
technology, and education programs develop new transportation technology
that can be applied nationwide. Activities include surface
transportation research, including Intelligent Transportation Systems;
development and deployment, training and education; University
Transportation Research.
Highway safety improvement (HSIP).--The new highway infrastructure
safety program (previously funded by set-aside from STP), is established
as a core program beginning in 2006. The program, which features
strategic safety planning and performance, devotes additional resources
and supports innovative approaches to reducing highway fatalities and
injuries on all public roads.
Equity Bonus program.--The Equity Bonus (replaces TEA-21's Minimum
Guarantee) provides additional funds to States to ensure that each State
receives an amount based on equity considerations. Each State is
guaranteed a minimum rate of return on its share of contributions to the
Highway Account of the Highway Trust Fund, and a minimum increase
relative to the average dollar amount of apportionments under TEA-21.
Certain States will maintain the share of total apportionments they each
received during TEA-21. An open-ended authorization is provided,
ensuring that there will be sufficient funds to meet the objectives of
the Equity Bonus.
High priority projects.--Funds are provided for specific projects
identified in SAFETEA-LU. A total of 5,091 projects are identified, each
with a specified amount of funding over the 5 years of SAFETEA-LU.
Projects of national and regional significance.--Provides funding
for specific projects of national or regional importance. All the funds
authorized for this program from the Highway Trust Fund are designated
for projects listed in SAFETEA-LU.
Open Roads Financing Pilot Project.--This pilot project intends to
use existing budgetary resources to explore on a broad scale the
feasibility of implementing direct user charge methods to more
efficiently finance and manage major portions of State highway systems.
The concept of direct highway charges, including charges for congestion
costs, has been tested with significant success in other countries. In
addition, a handful of small-scale or individual facility demonstration
projects have achieved positive results in the United States. The funds
expended under this pilot will be used to partner with state and local
governments to demonstrate the efficacy of cost-based direct charging
concepts on a larger scale than any project to date in the U.S. Among
other potential implementation costs, pilot funds will assist with
deployment of technologies. Predictions of declining Federal
transportation revenues, deteriorating highway performance, and the
emergence of viable non-Federal revenue alternatives that can
significantly improve system management, require that we be proactive in
exploring these alternatives.

Motor Carrier Safety Grants are funded at $294 million in 2007, of
which $197 million is dedicated to Motor Carrier Safety Assistance
Program (MCSAP) State grants. Grants will be used to support State
compliance reviews; identify and apprehend traffic violators; conduct
roadside inspections; and support safety audits on new entrant carriers.
State safety enforcement efforts, at both the southern and northern
borders, are funded at a total of $32 million to ensure that all points
of entry into the U.S. are fortified with comprehensive safety measures.
In addition, $25 million is included to improve State commercial
driver's license (CDL) oversight activities to prevent unqualified
drivers from being issued CDLs, and $5 million is provided for the
Performance and Registration Information Systems and Management (PRISM)
program, which links State motor vehicle registration systems with
carrier safety data in order to identify unsafe commercial motor
carriers. It also includes $25 million for Commercial Vehicle
Information Systems and Networks Deployment (CVISN) to improve safety
and productivity of commercial vehicles and drivers, and $3 million for
Safety data improvement program to improve the accuracy, timeliness, and
completeness of commercial motor vehicle safety data, and $7 million to
modernize its Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS).

====================================
A total of $227.25 million is proposed for Operations and Research.
The Budget proposes to fund all NHTSA programs from the Highway Trust
Fund.
Programs funded under the Operations and Research appropriation are
described below.
Safety Performance Standards (Rulemaking) Programs.--Supports the
promulgation of Federal motor vehicle safety standards for motor
vehicles and safety-related equipment; automotive fuel economy standards
required by the Energy Policy and Conservation Act; international
harmonization of vehicle standards; and consumer information on motor
vehicle safety, including the New Car Assessment Program.
Safety Assurance (Enforcement) Programs.--Provide support to ensure
compliance with motor vehicle safety and automotive fuel economy
standards, investigate safety-related motor vehicle defects, enforce
Federal odometer law, encourage enforcement of State odometer law, and
conduct safety recalls when warranted.
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 crash
worthiness and crash avoidance, with emphasis on increasing safety belt
use, decreasing alcohol involvement in crashes, decreasing the number of
rollover crashes, improving vehicle-to-vehicle crash compatibility, and
improved data systems.
Highway Safety Programs.--Provide research, demonstrations,
technical assistance, and national leadership for highway safety
programs conducted by State and local governments, the private sector,
universities, research units, and various safety associations and
organizations. This program emphasizes alcohol and drug countermeasures,
vehicle occupant protection, traffic law enforcement, emergency medical
and trauma care systems, traffic records and licensing, State and
community evaluation, motorcycle riders, pedestrian and bicycle safety,
pupil transportation, young and older driver safety programs, and
development of improved accident investigation procedures.
General Administration.--Provides program evaluation, strategic
planning, and economic analysis for agency programs. Objective
quantitative information about NHTSA's regulatory and highway safety
programs is gathered to measure their effectiveness in achieving
objectives. This activity also funds development of methods to estimate
economic consequences of motor vehicle injuries in forms suitable for
agency use in problem identification, regulatory analysis, priority
setting, and policy analysis.
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,
such as driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

Section 402.--SAFETEA-LU reauthorized the State and Community
Highway Safety formula grant program to support State highway safety
programs, designed to reduce traffic crashes and resulting deaths,
injuries, and property damage. A State may use these grant funds only
for highway safety purposes; at least 40 percent of these funds are to
be expended by political subdivisions of the State.
Section 405.--SAFETEA-LU amended Section 405(a) of Chapter 4 of
Title 23 to encourage States to adopt and implement effective programs
to reduce deaths and injuries from riding unrestrained or improperly
restrained in motor vehicles. A State may use these grant funds only to
implement and enforce occupant protection programs.
Section 406.--SAFETEA-LU established a new program of incentive
grants to encourage the enactment and enforcement of laws requiring the
use of safety belts in passenger motor vehicles. A State may use these
grant funds for any safety purpose under Title 23 or for any project
that corrects or improves a hazardous roadway location or feature or
proactively addresses highway safety problems. However, at least $1
million of amounts received by States must be obligated for behavioral
highway safety activities.
Section 408.--SAFETEA-LU established a new program of incentive
grants to encourage States to adopt and implement effective programs to
improve the timeliness, accuracy, completeness, uniformity, integration,
and accessibility of State data that is needed to identify priorities
for national, State, and local highway and traffic safety programs; to
evaluate the effectiveness of efforts to make such improvements; to link
these State data systems, including traffic records, with other data
systems within the State; and to improve the compatibility of the State
data system with national data systems and data systems of other States
to enhance the ability to observe and analyze national trends in crash
occurrences, rates, outcomes, and circumstances. A State may use these
grant funds only to implement such data improvement programs.
Section 410.--SAFETEA-LU amended the alcohol-impaired driving
countermeasures incentive grant program to encourage States to adopt and
implement effective programs to reduce traffic safety problems resulting
from individuals driving while under the influence of alcohol. A state
may use these grant funds to implement the impaired driving activities
described in the Programmatic Criteria, as well as costs for high
visibility enforcement; the costs of training and equipment for law
enforcement; the costs of advertising and educational campaigns that
publicize checkpoints, increase law enforcement efforts and target
impaired drivers under 34 years of age; the costs of a State impaired
operator information system, and the costs of vehicle or license plate
impoundment.
Child Safety and Child Booster Seat Safety Incentive Grants.--
SAFETEA-LU established a new incentive grant program to make grants
available to States that are enforcing a law requiring any child riding
in a passenger vehicle who is too large to be secured in a child safety
seat to be secured in a child restraint that meets the requirements
prescribed under section 3 of Anton's Law (49 U.S.C. 30127 note; 116
Stat. 2772). These grant funds may be used only for child safety seat
and child restraint programs.
Motorcyclist Safety.--SAFETEA-LU established a new program of
incentive grants to encourage States to adopt and implement effective
programs to reduce the number of single and multi-vehicle crashes
involving motorcyclists. A State may use these grants funds only for
motorcyclist safety training and motorcyclist awareness programs,
including improvement of training curricula, delivery of training,
recruitment or retention of motorcyclist safety instructors, and public
awareness and outreach programs.
High Visibility Enforcement.--Supports the States' increased
enforcement programs through the continued provision of national paid
media during mobilization and crackdown efforts.
Grant Administrative Expenses.--Provides funding for salaries and
operating expenses related to the administration of the Grants Programs
and supports the National Occupant Protection User Survey (NOPUS) and
Highway Safety Research programs.

Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Program
[The Secretary of Transportation is authorized to issue to the
Secretary of the Treasury notes or other obligations pursuant to section
512 of the Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act of 1976
(Public Law 94-210), as amended, in such amounts and at such times as
may be necessary to pay any amounts required pursuant to the guarantee
of the principal amount of obligations under sections 511 through 513 of
such Act, such authority to exist as long as any such guaranteed
obligation is outstanding: Provided, That pursuant to section 502 of
such Act, as amended, no new direct loans or loan guarantee commitments
shall be made using Federal funds for the credit risk premium during
fiscal
[[Page 882]]
year 2006] Beginning in fiscal year 2007 and thereafter, sections 821
through 823 of title 45, United States Code, are repealed. (Department
of Transportation Appropriations Act, 2006.)
The Administration proposes eliminating the Railroad Rehabilitation
and Improvement Financing loan program. There are several reasons to
question the program's necessity, including that all railroads,
regardless of size, are eligible for this credit assistance. Further,
recent changes to the law blocked DOT's discretion over whether or not
to issue a loan to an applicant. In the event of a loan default, the
Federal government would be responsible for covering any losses, which
could be significant given that Congress recently expanded the program
size from $3.5 billion to $35 billion. Additionally, railroads already
benefit from 2004 changes to the tax code, including relieving them from
paying diesel taxes. There is not clear justification for the Federal
government to extend such favorable loan terms to private rail
companies.

FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) provides funding to transit
operators, State and local governments and other recipients for the
construction of facilities; the purchase of vehicles and equipment; the
improvement of technology, service techniques, and methods; the support
of region-wide 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 through funding for job access and the New
Freedom program and improved transportation service coordination. The
FTA budget increases funding predictability and stability by
distributing more funds by formula, such as the Job Access and Reverse
Commute program, thereby providing greater efficiency in delivering
resources. Increased funding in this budget for the rural (non-urbanized
area) program helps address unmet transportation needs in underserved
rural communities. The budget expands eligibility for the New Starts
program to include non-fixed guideway corridor-based projects and
streamlines project delivery for smaller projects seeking New Starts
capital investment funding.
In 2007, an obligation limitation of $8,875 million is proposed for
transit programs.
The following tables show the funding for the Federal Transit
Administration programs.

In 2007, the National Research Program, Transit Cooperative Research
Program, and the National Transit Institute are funded in the Research
and University Research Centers account.
Funding for the National Research Program will be used for FTA's
essential safety and security activities and transit safety data
collection. Under the national component of the Program, FTA is a
catalyst in the research, development and deployment of transportation
methods and technologies which address issues such as accessibility for
the disabled, air quality, traffic congestion, transit service and
operational improvements. Funding for the University Research Centers
program will provide continued support for research, education and
technology transfer activities aimed at addressing regional and national
transportation problems.
This account was renamed in FY 2006 from Transit Planning and
Research consistent with the account restructuring in the Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for
Users (SAFETEA-LU). Funding for metropolitan and statewide planning
programs are now funded under the Formula and Bus Grants account.

For 2007, all programs within the Formula and Bus Grant account are
funded from the Mass Transit Account of the Highway Trust Fund.
Formula and Bus Grants are funded by contract authority provided in
SAFETEA-LU (Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity
Act: A Legacy for Users) P.L. 109-59. Formula Grant funds can be used
for all transit purposes including planning, bus and railcar purchases,
facility repair and construction, maintenance and where eligible,
operating expenses. These funds help transit systems alleviate
congestion, ensure basic mobility, promote economically vibrant
communities and meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA) and the Clean Air Act (CAA).
Urbanized Area Formula.--$3,947.3 million in funds will be
apportioned to areas with populations of 50,000 or more.
[[Page 890]]
Funds may be used for any transit capital purpose, including preventive
maintenance for these capital assets, in urban areas over 200,000 in
population. In urbanized areas under 200,000, both capital and operating
costs are eligible expenditures. Urbanized Area Formula includes funding
for the Growing States Program, which distributes funds to the Urbanized
and Nonurbanized Area Formula programs under differing factors.
Fixed Guideway Modernization.--$1,448 million for the acquisition,
reconstruction and improvement of facilities and equipment for use on
fixed guideways, including heavy and light rail, commuter rail, and
ferryboat operations. Funding for this program will help ensure that the
Nation's older fixed guideway systems continue to meet the
transportation needs of the communities they serve.
Bus and Bus Facility Grants.--$855.5 million to provide investments
in bus and bus-related capital projects that enhance the efficiency and
safety of the nation's bus systems.
State Administered Programs.--$808.9 million. Nonurbanized Area
Formula--$466.9 million will be apportioned to a legislative formula
based on each State's nonurban 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,
including $8.1 million for the Rural Transit Assistance Program.
Nonurbanized Area Formula includes funding for the Growing States
Program. Formula Grants for Elderly and Individuals with Disabilities--
$117 million will be apportioned to each State according to a
legislatively required formula for the purchase of vehicles and
equipment and for transportation services under a contract, lease or
similar arrangement. Job Access and Reverse Commute--$144 million, to be
apportioned to the States by formula to provide grants to non-profit
organizations and local transit agencies to fund transportation services
in urban, suburban and rural areas to assist welfare recipients and low-
income individuals to access employment opportunities. Federal transit
funds provide 50 percent of the project costs, with grant recipients
supplying the remaining 50 percent from local or Federal sources, other
than the Department of Transportation. New Freedom Initiative--$81
million, to provide additional tools to overcome significant barriers
facing Americans with disabilities seeking access to jobs and
integration into the workforce.
Planning.--$99 million to fund metropolitan and statewide planning
activities.
Over-the-Road Bus Accessibility Program.--$7.6 million for the Rural
Transportation Accessibility Incentive Program established in TEA-21.
Funding will assist operators of over-the-road buses in financing the
incremental capital and training costs of complying with the Department
of Transportation's final rule regarding disabled accessibility of over-
the-road buses required by the ADA.
Clean Fuels Grant Program.--$45 million to provide financing for the
purchase or lease of clean fuel buses and facilities and the improvement
of existing facilities to accommodate these buses. This includes buses
powered by compressed natural gas, biodiesel fuels, batteries, alcohol-
based fuels, hybrid electric, fuel cell and certain clean diesel (up to
2 percent of grants annually), and other low or zero emissions
technology.
Alternatives Analysis Program.--$25 million provided for transit
projects in the early stage of development and to investigate transit
alternatives to solving local transportation problems.
Alternative Transportation in Parks and Public Lands.--$23 million
to enhance the protection of America's national parks and increase the
enjoyment of those visiting the parks. The goals of the Alternative
Transportation in Parks program include ensuring access for all,
including individuals with disabilities; improving conservation and park
and public land opportunities in urban areas through partnering with
State and local governments; and improving park and public land
transportation.
National Transit Database (NTD).--$3.5 million for operation and
maintenance of the NTD system, a database of statistics on the transit
industry, which is Congressionally mandated under 49 U.S.C.
5335(a)(1)(2). The NTD provides for the national collection and
dissemination of a uniform system of transit system financial accounts
and operating data. As set forth in legislative formulas, these data are
used in the national allocation of FTA formula funding.
This account was renamed in FY 2006 from Trust Fund Share of
Expenses consistent with the account restructuring in SAFETEA-LU.

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)
provides services to advance safety in hazardous materials
transportation. PHMSA's program is focused on five principal areas.
First, PHMSA provides comprehensive regulations for the safe and secure
transportation of hazardous materials. Second, through training,
guidance and outreach materials, PHMSA helps shippers and carriers
understand the regulations and how to comply with them. Third, PHMSA
enforces the regulations on those persons who refuse or neglect to
comply with safety and security requirements. Fourth, PHMSA assists the
Nation's response community to plan for and respond to hazardous
materials transportation emergencies. Finally, PHMSA builds each of
these operational responsibilities on a comprehensive technical and
analytical foundation.

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 Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
(PHMSA) is responsible for the review, approval and testing of these
plans, and for ensuring that the public and the environment are provided
with an adequate level of protection from such spills. PHMSA does this
through data analysis, spill monitoring, pipeline mapping, environmental
indexing, and advanced technologies to detect and prevent leaks.

The Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA) was
established as an administration within the Department of Transportation
to provide strategic clarity to the Department's multi-modal and
intermodal research efforts, while coordinating the multifaceted
research agenda of the Department.
RITA coordinates, facilitates, and reviews the following research
and development programs and activities: advancement and research and
development of innovative technologies, including intelligent
transportation systems; education and training in transportation and
transportation-related fields, including the University Transportation
Centers; Transportation Safety Institute (TSI); and activities of the
Volpe Center. A new transportation futures initiative will provide
leadership in technology innovation, transportation systems analysis,
and systemic approaches for integrating and coordinating the
Department's Research, Development and Technology activities.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) is funded by an
allocation from Federal Highway Administration's Federal-Aid Highway
account. BTS compiles, analyzes, and makes accessible information on the
Nation's transportation systems; collects information on intermodal
transportation and other areas as needed; and enhances the quality and
effectiveness of the statistical programs of the Department of
Transportation through research, the development of guidelines, and the
promotion of improvements in data acquisition and use.

The Surface Transportation Board was created on January 1, 1996, by
P.L. 104-88, the ICC Termination Act of 1995 (ICCTA). 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.
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.
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.
2007 Program Request.--$22.925 million is requested to implement
rulemakings and adjudicate the ongoing caseload within the directives
and deadlines set forth by the ICCTA. This amount also includes $.375
million to complete the agency's relocation by GSA.
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
2007 appropriation request of $25.618 million and a request for $1.250
million from reimbursements from the offsetting collection of user fees
to operate at 150 FTEs. Included in this request is $0.375 million to
complete the agency's relocation by GSA. 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. In past fiscal years, the Board received both an
appropriation and authorization for offsetting collections to be made
available to the appropriation for the Board's expenses. In light of
Congressional action on the FY 2006 appropriation act, the FY 2007
request reflects offsetting collections as a credit to the appropriation
received, to the extent that they are collected.
This level of funding is necessary to implement rulemakings and
adjudicate the ongoing caseload within the deadlines imposed by 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 non-rail matters.

MARITIME ADMINISTRATION
The Maritime Administration (MARAD) is responsible for programs that
strengthen the U.S. maritime industry in support of the nation's
security and economic needs, as authorized by the Merchant Marine Act.
MARAD works closely with the Department of Defense (DOD) and is
currently supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom through its sealift
program.
MARAD helps provide a seamless, time-phased transition from
peacetime to wartime operations, while balancing the defense and
commercial elements of the maritime transportation system. MARAD
establishes DOD's prioritized use of ports and related intermodal
facilities during DOD mobilizations to ensure the smooth flow of
military cargo through commercial ports. MARAD also manages the Maritime
Security Program, the Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement Program and
the Ready Reserve Force, which assure DOD access to commercial and
strategic sealift and associated intermodal capacity. Further, MARAD's
Education and Training Programs, through the U.S. Merchant Marine
Academy and six State maritime schools, help provide formally trained
merchant marine officers.
In 2007, MARAD requests funds to continue its support of the U.S. as
a maritime nation, and to help meet its management challenge to dispose
of obsolete merchant-type vessels in the National Defense Reserve Fleet
originally directed to conclude by the end of 2006.

The Ship Disposal program provides resources to dispose of obsolete
merchant-type vessels in the National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF),
which the Maritime Administration was required by law to dispose of by
the end of 2006. This deadline will not be achieved. These vessels pose
a significant environmental threat due to the presence of hazardous
substances such as asbestos and solid and liquid polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs).

The Operating-Differential Subsidies (ODS) account helped 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. This program has been replaced by the Maritime Security
Program.

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.
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 schedule.

The Ready Reserve Force (RRF) is comprised of Government-owned,
U.S.-flag merchant ships which are part of the National Defense Reserve
Fleet (NDRF), and maintained in an advanced state of readiness to meet
surge shipping requirements during a national emergency. Beginning in
1996, funding for the RRF account is included in appropriations for the
Department of Defense (DOD). However, the program is managed by MARAD
through reimbursements from DOD that are reflected in MARAD's Vessel
Operations Revolving Fund account.
The obligations shown above are the spendout of funding appropriated
directly to MARAD prior to 1996.

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 or the Maritime Guaranteed Loan (Title XI) Financing
Account; and to process advances received from Federal agencies. Also,
the acquisition and disposal of ships under the trade-in/scrap-out
program is financed through this account. MARAD has a separate account
which receives direct appropriations for its ship disposal program.
Reimbursements from other Federal agencies also pay for 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. 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 to and merged with the
Operations and Training account to be obligated and outlayed. The
schedule above shows the post-transfer amounts for 2005. For 2006 and
2007, the schedule displays pre-transfer amounts in order to comply with
the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990.
[[Page 905]]
In an effort to reduce corporate subsidies, no new funds for loan
guarantees are requested for 2007.
