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

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 2008 Budget proposes a $50
million program to be fully financed from overflight fees. The Budget
proposes a general provision to restructure the program.

Through 1997, this program was funded from the Airport and Airway
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 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 in 2006.

The Administration will transmit a reauthorization proposal in 2007
that transforms the FAA's excise tax financing system to a cost-based
system that recovers most of costs of air traffic services through user
fees. The Budget estimates in the Appendix present FAA's accounts under
current law financing mechanisms for 2008; estimates beyond 2008 assume
enactment of the Administration's proposal.
Under the proposal, FAA's financing sources shift from a mix of fuel
taxes, other excise taxes, and general fund contributions to user fees,
fuel taxes, and a general fund contribution. FAA would have the
authority to collect the user fees that directly offset the cost of
FAA's operations; expenditure of the available fees would be affirmed in
the appropriations process. Air traffic user fees would be collected
from commercial aviation operators. General aviation users would
continue to pay a fuel tax that would be deposited into the Airport and
Airway Trust Fund; fuel tax rates will be calibrated based on the costs
that these users impose on the system. The general fund component of
FAA's budget would cover activities that benefit the public good like
safety and public use of the airspace. Finally, the Airport Improvements
Grants program and the majority of Research, Engineering, and
Development program would continue to be funded by fuel taxes paid by
all aviation users into the Airport and Airway Trust Fund.
To illustrate how implementing a user fee system impacts the Budget,
the above table shows tax receipts and FAA's budget accounts in 2008,
under both current law and the reauthorization proposal. Tax receipts
would decrease by an estimated $8.1 billion, and net discretionary
spending would decrease by $7.5 billion. The table also shows the
funding sources (user fees, Trust Fund revenue, and general fund) for
each FAA account.
The reform of FAA's financing structure is necessary because under
the existing aviation tax structure, there is no relationship between
the taxes paid by users and the air traffic control services rendered by
the FAA. For example, when a full plane flies from New York to Boston it
imposes the same workload on the FAA as when a less crowded plane of the
same size travels the same route. However, since the current tax
structure is primarily based on the price of a ticket, the full plane
pays much more in taxes than the less crowded plane. User fees allow
commercial aviation users to pay directly for the services that FAA
provides for managing the use of the national airspace. Under the
proposal, aviation users would pay a total of $11.5 billion in user fees
and fuel taxes in 2008; under the current tax structure aviation users
would pay $12.1 billion in excise and fuel taxes, a difference of $600
million. FAA aims to create a more direct relationship between user fees
collected and services received, thereby creating incentives to make the
system more responsive to user needs and more efficient.
The following table depicts the total funding for all Federal
Aviation Administration programs, for which more detail is furnished in

Operations and Facilities and Equipment accounts with the Air Traffic
Organization and Safety and Operations accounts. No further budget
authority is requested in 2008 in the Operations account and its
schedule shows obligation and outlay amounts from prior years. Instead,
2008 funding is requested for these activities in the Air Traffic
Organization and Safety and Operations accounts.

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.
[[Page 798]]
The Homeland Security Act of 2002 (P.L. 107-296) required the
Secretary to provide additional war risk insurance coverage (Hull Loss
and Passenger and Crew Liability) to air carriers insured for Third-
Party War Risk Liability as of June 19, 2002, as authorized under
existing law. Continuation of this coverage was subsequently directed by
several appropriations acts, the last being the Transportation,
Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, the Judiciary, District of
Columbia, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act for 2006 (P.L.
105-115). The Continuing Appropriations Act for 2007, as amended (P.L.
109-383) further extended the requirement to provide insurance coverage
through the duration of the resolution, February 15, 2007. The Secretary
is authorized to limit an air carrier's third party liability to $100
million, when the Secretary certifies that the loss was from an act of
terrorism. The FAA insurance policy covers: (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.

In 2008, FAA has a new account structure that replaces the
Operations and Facilities and Equipment accounts with the Air Traffic
Organization and Safety and Operations accounts. No budget authority is
requested in 2008 in the Facilities and Equipment account and its
schedule shows obligation and outlay amounts from prior years. Instead,
2008 funding is requested for these activities in the Air Traffic
Organization and Safety and Operations accounts.

For FY 2008, the Budget proposes $11,327 million for FAA activities,
of which $8,709 million would be provided from the Airport and Airway
Trust Fund.
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 support of the Administration's National Strategy
to Reduce Congestion on America's Transportation Network, existing
budgetary resources will be used to focus on a number of high-priority
efforts to help reduce highway congestion.
In 2008, the Federal Highway Administration continues core programs,
including the Surface Transportation Program, the National Highway
System, Interstate Maintenance, Highway Safety Improvement Program,
Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program, the Federal Lands
Highways Program, and the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
Improvement Program. In addition, the Transportation Infrastructure
Finance and Innovation program provides Federal credit assistance to
nationally or regionally significant surface transportation projects,
and the Equity Bonus program provides funding to States based on equity
considerations. Other programs new in SAFETEA-LU include the Coordinated
Border Infrastructure Program, Highways for Life Pilot Program, National
Corridor Infrastructure Improvement Program, Projects of National and
Regional Significance, and Safe Routes to School.
In summary, the 2008 Budget consists of $40,836 million in new
budget authority and $38,153 million in outlays. The following table
reflects program levels (obligations). Because project selection is
determined by the States, the 2007 and 2008 program levels are
estimates.

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.

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
[[Page 807]]
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 four 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 $39.6 billion. This funding level for 2008
reflects the obligation limitation authorized in SAFETEA-LU, but does
not reflect an upward adjustment based on the revenue aligned budget
authority (RABA) calculation enacted in SAFETEA-LU.
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 bridges located on any public road.
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.
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.
[[Page 810]]
Highway safety improvement (HSIP).--The highway infrastructure
safety program, established as a core program in 2006, 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 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 and transportation improvements.--Funds are
provided for specific projects identified in SAFETEA-LU, 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.
Congestion Reduction Initiative.--In support of a Department-wide
effort to tackle congestion in all modes, the 2008 Budget includes a new
$175 million initiative for reducing highway congestion. The Budget
proposes to fund the initiative by reprogramming $175 million in
unobligated balances associated with inactive Federal-aid highway
program demonstration projects. To implement this initiative, FHWA would
invite local governments to apply for Federal funds to demonstrate
innovative ideas for curbing congestion. FHWA would select a number of
large-scale pilot projects based on their potential to reduce traffic
congestion. The desired outcome of these projects is to improve quality
of life and economic growth by spreading the demand by route, mode, and
time of day, and by more efficient operation of the existing
transportation system.

Motor Carrier Safety Grants are funded at $300 million in 2008, of
which $202 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; $3 million for
Safety data improvement program to improve the accuracy, timeliness, and
complete
[[Page 814]]

A total of $233.75 million (including the National Driver Register
program) 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.--Provides 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; develops
alternative solutions; and assesses 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
improving data systems.
Highway Safety Research 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. Provides funding to
gather objective quantitative information about NHTSA's regulatory and
highway safety programs 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.

SAFETEA-LU updated the following programs:
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.--Section 2009 of SAFETEA-LU
established a new program to administer at least two high-visibility
traffic safety law enforcement campaigns each year to achieve one or
both of the following objectives: (1) reduce alcohol-impaired or
drug-impaired operation of motor vehicles; and/or (2) increase the
use of safety belts by occupants of motor vehicles. These funds may
be used to pay for the development, production, and use of broadcast
and print media advertising in carrying out traffic safety law
enforcement campaigns. Consideration is to be given to advertising
directed at non-English speaking populations, including those who
listen, read or watch non-traditional media.
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.

For FY 2008, the Administration is proposing a Capital Grant Program
that will encourage state participation in its passenger rail service.
Under this new program, a State or States would apply to FRA for grants
for up to 50 percent of the cost of capital investments necessary to
support improved intercity passenger rail service that either requires
no operating subsidy or for which the State or States agree to provide
any needed operating subsidy. To qualify for funding, States would have
to include intercity passenger rail service as an integral part of
Statewide transportation planning as required under 23 U.S.C. 135.
Additionally, the specific project would have to be on the Statewide
Transportation Improvement Plan at the time of application.

section 505 redeemable preference shares program expired on September
30, 1988. The account reflects actual and projected outlays resulting
from payments of principal and interest as well as repurchases of
redeemable preference shares and the sale of redeemable preference
shares to the private sector.
Section 511--Loan repayments.--This program reflects repayments of
principal and interest on outstanding borrowings by the railroads to the
Federal Financing Bank under the section 511 loan guarantee program.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
records, for this program, all cash flows to and from the Government
resulting from direct loans obligated and loan guarantees committed
prior to 1992. All new activity in this program (including modifications
of direct loans or loan guarantees that resulted from obligations or
commitments in any year) is recorded in corresponding program accounts
and financing accounts.

FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) provides grant funding to
State and local governments, public and private transit operators, and
other recipients to subsidize public transit operations; construct new
public transit systems; purchase and maintain transit vehicles and
equipment; support regional transportation planning efforts; and improve
the technology and service methods used in the delivery of public
transportation services. FTA programs also provide financial assistance
to help implement national policy goals relating to mobility for the
elderly, for individuals with disabilities, and for those who are
economically disadvantaged. In 2008, FTA will again increase public
transportation funding predictability and transparency by distributing
more funds by formula, including the rural (non-urbanized area) program
funds to address unmet public transportation needs in underserved rural
communities.
This table below presents the total 2008 funding for all Federal
Transit Administration programs with additional detail provided in the
budget schedules that follow.

In 2008, 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, and 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 2006 from Transit Planning and Research
in accordance with the account restructuring in the Safe, Accountable,
Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users
(SAFETEA-LU) and funding for metropolitan and statewide planning
programs is thereby provided under the Formula and Bus Grants account.

For 2008, 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.--$4,279.8 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 capital assets in urban areas over 200,000 in population. In urban
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.--$1,569.8 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.--$927.6 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.--$876.9 million. Nonurbanized Area
Formula--$506.5 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 $8.8 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--
$127 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--$156 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 De
[[Page 832]]
partment of Transportation. New Freedom Program--$87.5 million, to
provide additional tools to overcome significant barriers facing
Americans with disabilities seeking access to jobs and integration into
the workforce.
Planning.--$107 million to fund metropolitan and statewide planning
activities.
Over-the-Road Bus Accessibility Program.--$8.3 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.--$49 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.--$25 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 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 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.
Coordination and advancement of research and development activities
is led by the RITA Office of Research, Development and Technology and is
funded through the General Fund. RITA also coordinates and reviews the
following programs and activities: the Volpe Center that services many
of the research, development, and technology needs of the Department's
operating administrations on a fee-for-service basis; University
Transportation Centers and Intelligent Transportation Systems programs
that provide reimbursable services; and the Transportation Safety
Institute that provides training in a variety of transportation safety
topics on a fee-for-service basis.
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.
2008 Program Request.--$23.085 million is requested to implement
rulemakings and adjudicate the ongoing caseload within the directives
and deadlines set forth by the ICCTA.
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
2008 appropriation request of $26.495 million and a request for $1.250
million from reimbursements from the offsetting collection of user fees
to operate at 150 FTEs. 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. The 2008 Budget 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 U.S. economic
and national security needs, as authorized by the Merchant Marine Act.
MARAD has made congestion relief a top priority and is working
extensively on efforts to reduce transportation system congestion.
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. In addition, MARAD
operates the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and helps support six State
maritime schools in order to provide new merchant marine officers for
the nation's maritime industry.
In 2008, MARAD requests funds to continue its support of the U.S.
as a maritime nation and to dispose of obsolete merchant-type vessels in
the National Defense Reserve Fleet.

Ocean freight differential is the difference in cost incurred in
the movement of ocean cargoes. In general, when applied to cargo
preference policy implementation, it is the cost difference between
U.S.-flag carriers and foreign-flag carriers. Public Law 99-108 amended
the cargo preference requirement in Section 901 of the Merchant Marine
Act to increase the minimum required tonnage of certain government-
sponsored food-aid shipments that must be shipped on U.S.-flag vessels
from 50 to 75 percent. The Maritime Administration is required to
reimburse government agencies that sponsor these food-aid shipments for
the increase in ocean freight differential associated with compliance
with this expanded U.S.-flag shipping requirement.

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. Since 1996,
funding for the RRF account is included in appropriations for the
Department of Defense (DOD). However, the program is managed by MARAD
with resources provided by reimbursement from DOD that are reflected in
MARAD's Vessel Operations Revolving Fund account.
The obligations shown above are the spendout of funding appropriated

The Maritime Administration (MARAD) is authorized to reactivate,
maintain, operate, and deactivate government-owned merchant vessels
comprising the National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF) and the Ready
Reserve Force (RRF), a subset of the NDRF. Resources for RRF vessel
maintenance, preservation, activation and operation costs, as well as
RRF infrastructure support costs and additional DOD/Navy-sponsored
sealift activities and special projects, are provided by reimbursement
from the Defense Sealift Fund. MARAD incurs similar obligations for
government-owned merchant vessels outside the RRF fleet and for the
charter of privately-owned merchant vessels, the cost of which is
likewise provided by reimbursement from sponsoring Federal agencies.
In addition, the fund is used by MARAD to finance the acquisition,
maintenance, preservation, protection and use of merchant vessels
involved in mortgage foreclosure or collateral forfeiture proceedings
instituted by the Federal Government and not financed by the Federal
Ship Financing Fund or the Maritime Guaranteed Loan Program; and to
finance the acquisition and disposition of merchant vessels under the
Trade-In/Scrap Out program. Direct appropriations for the disposal of
merchant vessels are received in a separate account.

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 now used only to underwrite guarantees made under the Title XI
loan guarantee program prior to 1992.
Maritime Guaranteed Loan (Title XI) Program Account
(including transfer of funds)
For administrative expenses to carry out the guaranteed loan
program, $3,408,000 from amounts made available for highway priority
projects identified pursuant to section 112 of title I, Public Law 109-
115, for ``Maritime Guaranteed Loans (Title XI),'' which shall be
transferred to and merged with the appropriation for ``Operations and
Training,'' Maritime Administration.
Note.--A regular 2007 appropriation for this account had not been
enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is
operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 109-289, as amended). The
amounts included for 2007 in this budget reflect the levels provided by
the continuing resolution.
