     Transportation shall--
       (1) not distribute from the obligation limitation for 
     Federal-aid Highways amounts authorized for administrative 
     expenses and programs funded from the administrative takedown 
     authorized by section 104(a)(1)(A) of title 23, United States

       (3) determine the ratio that--
       (A) the obligation limitation for Federal-aid Highways less 
     the aggregate of amounts not distributed under paragraphs (1) 
     and (2), bears to
       (B) the total of the sums authorized to be appropriated for

     (other than sums authorized to be appropriated for sections 
     set forth in paragraphs (1) through (7) of subsection (b) and

     determined by multiplying the ratio determined under 
     paragraph (3) by the sums authorized to be appropriated for 
     such section (except in the case of section 105, 
     $2,000,000,000) for such fiscal year;
       (5) distribute the obligation limitation provided for

     the ratio determined under paragraph (3) by the sums 
     authorized to be appropriated for such program for such 
     fiscal year; and

     the Secretary under title 23, United States Code, in the 
     ratio that--
       (A) sums authorized to be appropriated for such programs 
     that are apportioned to each State for such fiscal year, bear 
     to
       (B) the total of the sums authorized to be appropriated for

     fiscal year.
       (b) Exceptions From Obligation Limitation.--The obligation

     Notwithstanding subsection (a), the Secretary shall after 
     August 1 for such fiscal year revise a distribution of the 
     obligation limitation made available under subsection (a) if 
     a State will not obligate the amount distributed during that 
     fiscal year and redistribute sufficient amounts to those 
     States able to obligate amounts in addition to those 
     previously distributed during that fiscal year giving 
     priority to those States having large unobligated balances of 
     funds apportioned under sections 104 and 144 of title 23,

     before the enactment of the Transportation Equity Act for the

     Transportation Research Programs.--The obligation limitation 
     shall apply to transportation research programs carried out 
     under chapter 5 of title 23, United States Code, except that

     such limitation shall remain available for a period of 3 
     fiscal years.
       (e) Redistribution of Certain Authorized Funds.--Not later

     to be appropriated for such fiscal year for Federal-aid 
     highways programs (other than the program under section 160 
     of title 23, United States Code) and for carrying out 
     subchapter I of chapter 311 of title 49, United States Code, 
     and highway-related programs under chapter 4 of title 23, 
     United States Code; and (2) that the Secretary determines 
     will not be allocated to the States, and will not be 
     available for obligation, in such fiscal year due to the 
     imposition of any obligation limitation for such fiscal year. 
     Such distribution to the States shall be made in the same 
     ratio as the distribution of obligation authority under 
     subsection (a)(6). The funds so distributed shall be 
     available for any purposes described in section 133(b) of 
     title 23, United States Code.
       (f) Special Rule.--Obligation limitation distributed for a 
     fiscal year under subsection (a)(4) of this section for a

       Sec. 352. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) The condition of highway, railway, and waterway 
     infrastructure across the Nation varies widely and is in need 
     of improvement and investment.
       (2) Thousands of tons of hazardous materials, including a 
     very small amount of high-level radioactive material, are 
     transported along the Nation's highways, railways, and 
     waterways each year.
       (3) The volume of hazardous material transport increased by 
     over one-third in the last 25 years and is expected to 
     continue to increase. Some propose significantly increasing 
     radioactive material transport.
       (4) Approximately 261,000 people were evacuated across the 
     Nation because of rail-related incidents involving hazardous 
     materials between 1978 and 1995, and during that period 
     industry reported 8 transportation accidents involving the 
     small volume of high level radioactive waste transported 
     during that period.
       (5) The Federal Railroad Administration has significantly 
     decreased railroad inspections and has allocated few 
     resources since 1993 to assure the structural integrity of 
     railroad bridges. Train derailments have increased by 18 
     percent over roughly the same period.
       (6) The poor condition of highway, railway, and waterway 
     infrastructure, increases in the volume of hazardous material 
     transport, and proposed increases in radioactive material 
     transport increase the risk of incidents involving such 
     materials.
       (7) Measuring the risks of hazardous or radioactive 
     material incidents and preventing such incidents requires 
     specific information concerning the condition and suitability 
     of specific transportation routes contemplated for such 
     transport to inform and enable investment in related 
     infrastructure.
       (8) Mitigating the impact of hazardous and radioactive 
     material transportation incidents requires skilled,

     transport pose threats to the public health and safety, the 
     environment, and the economy.
       (b) Study.--The Secretary of Transportation shall, in 
     consultation with the Comptroller General of the United 
     States, conduct a study of the effects to public health and 
     safety, the environment, and the economy associated with the 
     transportation of hazardous and radioactive material.
       (c) Matters to be Addressed.--The study under subsection 
     (b) shall address the following matters:
       (1) Whether the Federal Government conducts or reviews 
     individualized and detailed evaluations and inspections of 
     the condition and suitability of specific transportation 
     routes for the current, and any anticipated or proposed, 
     transport of hazardous and radioactive material, including 
     whether resources and information are adequate to conduct 
     such evaluations and inspections.
       (2) The costs and time required to ensure adequate 
     inspection of specific transportation routes and related

     radioactive material transport.
       (5) The availability of, or requirements to, establish 
     governmental and commercial information collection and 
     dissemination systems adequate to provide public and 
     emergency responders in an accessible manner, with timely, 
     complete, specific, and accurate information (including 
     databases) concerning actual, proposed, or anticipated 
     shipments by highway, railway, or waterway of hazardous and 
     radioactive materials, including incidents involving the 
     transportation of such materials by those means and the 
     public safety implications of such dissemination.
       (d) Deadline for Completion.--The study under subsection 
     (b) shall be completed not later than six months after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act.

        JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

       The managers on the part of the House of Representatives 
     and the Senate at the conference on the disagreeing votes of 
     the two Houses on the amendment of the Senate to the bill 
     (H.R. 2299) making appropriations for the Department of 
     Transportation and related agencies for the fiscal year 
     ending September 30, 2002, and for other purposes, submit the 
     following joint statement to the House of Representatives and 
     the Senate in explanation of the effect of the action agreed 
     upon by the managers and recommended in the accompanying 
     conference report.
       The Senate deleted the entire House bill after the enacting 
     clause and inserted the Senate bill. The conference agreement 
     includes a revised bill.

                        Congressional Directives

       The conferees agree that Executive Branch propensities 
     cannot substitute for Congress' own statements concerning the 
     best evidence of Congressional intentions; that is, the 
     official reports of the Congress. The committee of conference 
     approves report language included by the House (House Report 
     107-108) or the Senate (Senate Report 107-38 accompanying the 
     companion measure S. 1178) that is not changed by the 
     conference. The statement of the managers, while repeating 
     some report language for emphasis, is not intended to negate 
     the language referred to above unless expressly provided 
     herein.

                     Program, Project, and Activity

       During fiscal year 2002, for the purposes of the Balanced 
     Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law 
     99-177), as amended, with respect to funds provided for the 
     Department of Transportation and related agencies, the terms 
     ``program, project, and activity'' shall mean any item for 
     which a dollar amount is contained in an appropriations Act 
     (including joint resolutions providing continuing 
     appropriations) or accompanying reports of the House and 
     Senate Committees on Appropriations, or accompanying 
     conference reports and joint explanatory statements of the 
     committee of conference. In addition, the reductions made 
     pursuant to any sequestration order to funds appropriated for 
     ``Federal Aviation Administration, Facilities and equipment'' 
     and for ``Coast Guard, Acquisition, construction, and 
     improvements'' shall be applied equally to each ``budget 
     item'' that is listed under said accounts in the budget 
     justifications submitted to the House and Senate Committees 
     on Appropriations as modified by subsequent appropriations 
     Acts and accompanying committee reports, conference reports, 
     or joint explanatory statements of the committee of 
     conference. The conferees recognize that adjustments to the 
     above allocations may be required due to changing program 
     requirements or priorities. The conferees expect any such 
     adjustment, if required, to be accomplished only through the 
     normal reprogramming process.

                                TITLE I

                      DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

                        Office of the Secretary


                         Salaries and Expenses

       The conference agreement provides $67,778,000 for the 
     salaries and expenses of the office of the secretary instead 
     of $68,446,000 as proposed by the House and $67,349,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. New bill language is included that 
     specifies amounts by office, consistent with actions in prior 
     years, and limits transfers among each office to no more than 
     7 percent. The bill language specifies that any transfer 
     shall be submitted for approval to the House and Senate 
     Committees on Appropriations. The following table summarizes 
     the fiscal year 2002 appropriation for each office:

Immediate office of the Secretary............................$1,929,000
Immediate office of the Deputy Secretary....................... 619,000
Office of the General Counsel................................13,355,000
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy..................3,058,000
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Aviation and International 
  Affairs.....................................................7,421,000
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Budget and Programs.....7,728,000
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Government Affairs......2,282,000
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration.........19,250,000
Office of Public Affairs......................................1,723,000
Executive Secretariat.........................................1,204,000
Board of Contract Appeals.......................................507,000
Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization........1,240,000
Office of Intelligence and Security...........................1,321,000
Office of the Chief Information Officer.......................6,141,000

       The conferees direct the office of the secretary to submit 
     its congressional justification materials in support of the 
     individual offices of the offices of the secretary at the 
     same level of detail provided in the congressional 
     justifications presented in fiscal year 2002.
       Bill language, as proposed by both the House and the 
     Senate, allows the Department to spend up to $60,000 for 
     official reception and representation activities.
       The conference agreement modifies bill language that was 
     contained in both the House and the Senate bills that credits 
     to this appropriation up to $2,500,000 in funds received in 
     user fees by excluding fees authorized in Public Law 107-71.
       Aviation consumer hotline.--The conference agreement 
     includes $720,000 for the Department's Aviation Consumer 
     Protection Division's consumer hotline. The conferees note 
     that a hotline for consumer complaints currently exists in 
     the Office of the General Counsel. However, the phone line is 
     understaffed, leaving many consumers frustrated when a phone 
     recording is the only place to register a complaint. This can 
     cause considerable hardship for individuals with disabilities 
     who may have travel complaints that warrant immediate 
     attention. The conferees direct that these funds are to be 
     used to establish a 1-800 disability inquiry line that is

[[Page H8667]]

     staffed from 7:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. each day.
       Study of air travel services.--The conferees are interested 
     in the impact the joint entry of suppliers of air travel 
     services into the market for direct distribution has had to 
     date on consumers, airline competition, and ticket prices.
       Accordingly, the conferees request the Office of the 
     Assistant Secretary for Aviation and International Affairs 
     report on its monitoring efforts pursuant to the launch of 
     the joint airline distribution ventures. The report should 
     address, at a minimum, the following issues raised by the 
     Department as potential concerns related to such ventures:
       Deviations from plans, polices, and procedures initially 
     proposed in the joint venture's business plan and contained 
     in its charter associate agreements;
       The extent to which the joint venture has adhered to its 
     commitment to not bias displays of fares or services;
       The extent to which ties between the airline-owners and the 
     ``Most Favored Nation'' clause in the charter agreement have 
     resulted in monopolistic or other anti-competitive market 
     behavior; and
       Whether airline-owners of the joint ventures or charter 
     associates have acted in an anti-competitive manner by 
     choosing not to distribute fares through other online 
     distribution outlets.
       The conferees request the Office of Aviation and 
     International Affairs to submit its findings to the DOT 
     Inspector General's office no later than April 1, 2002, for 
     its evaluation and comment. The House and Senate 
     Transportation Appropriations Subcommittees request the 
     Inspector General to report on these findings no later than 
     90 days after receiving the findings from the Office of 
     Aviation and International Affairs.
       Reorganization.--The conferees are aware that consideration 
     is being given to a reorganization of functions and offices 
     within the office of the secretary and the department is in 
     the process of establishing the new Transportation Security 
     Administration. The conferees expect that any transfer of 
     functions or reorganization must be formally approved by the 
     House and Senate Committees on Appropriations through the 
     regular reprogramming process.
       Administrative directions.--The conferees direct the 
     department to submit its annual congressional justifications 
     for each modal administration to the House and Senate 
     Committees on Appropriations on the date on which the 
     President's budget is delivered officially to Congress.
       Assessments.--The conferees direct that assessments charged 
     by the office of the secretary to modal administrations 
     should be for administrative activities, not policy 
     initiatives. The conferees have seen violations of this 
     direction in fiscal year 2001 and will not tolerate further 
     problems.


                         Office of Civil Rights

       The conference agreement provides $8,500,000 for the office 
     of civil rights as proposed by both the House and the Senate.


                 Transportation Security Administration

       The conference agreement provides $1,250,000,000 for the 
     new multi-modal Transportation Security Administration for 
     civil aviation security services pursuant to Public Law 107-
     71. Neither the House nor the Senate bill contained a similar 
     appropriation. The bill language specifies that the security 
     fees shall be credited to this appropriation as offsetting 
     collections. The bill also specifies that the general fund 
     appropriation shall be reduced, as fees are collected, to 
     result in an anticipated final fiscal year appropriation 
     of zero.


           Transportation Planning, Research, and Development

       The conference agreement provides $11,993,000 for 
     transportation planning, research, and development instead of 
     $5,193,000 as proposed by the House and $15,592,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. Adjustments to the budget request 
     shall be available for the following activities:

Northeast advanced vehicle consortium........................$2,600,000
WestStart's vehicular flywheel project in the Pacific Northwes1,000,000
International ferry service from Blaine, WA to White Rock, B.C..200,000
North Dakota State University system planning and resource manag150,000
Auburn University, AL campus transit study......................375,000
Bypass mail system computer software and hardware upgrades in 2,075,000
North Puget Sound intermodal center planning study..............400,000


              Transportation Administrative Service Center

       The conference agreement includes a limitation of 
     $125,323,000 on activities of the transportation 
     administration service center (TASC) as proposed by both the 
     House and the Senate.
       Modal usage of TASC.--The conferees direct the department, 
     in its fiscal year 2003 Congressional justifications for each 
     modal administration, to account for increases and decreases 
     in TASC billings based on planned usage requested or 
     anticipated by the modes rather than TASC as proposed by the 
     House.
       Information technology omnibus procurement (ITOP).--The 
     conferees direct the DOT Inspector General to conduct a 
     thorough review of the ITOP program and report findings to 
     the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no later 
     than February 15, 2002 as specified in the House report.


               Minority Business Resource Center Program

       The conference agreement provides an appropriation of 
     $900,000 for the minority business resource center program 
     and limits the loans to $18,367,000 as proposed by both the 
     House and the Senate.


                       Minority Business Outreach

       The conference agreement provides a total of $3,000,000 for 
     minority business outreach as proposed by the House and the 
     Senate. Language pertaining to funding availability, as 
     proposed by the Senate, has been deleted.


                        Payments to Air Carriers

                    (Airport and Airway Trust Fund)

       The conference agreement provides $63,000,000 for payments 
     to air carriers as proposed by the House instead of 
     $50,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. Of this total, 
     $13,000,000 is in new appropriations and the remainder is to 
     be derived from overflight user fees and, if necessary, 
     unobligated balances from the facilities and equipment 
     account of the Federal Aviation Administration. The 
     conference agreement does not include a provision contained 
     in the Senate bill that tightens the eligibility criteria for 
     communities to receive essential air service subsidies.

                              Coast Guard


                           Operating Expenses

       The conference agreement provides $3,382,000,000 for Coast 
     Guard operating expenses instead of $3,382,588,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $3,427,588,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The agreement specifies that $440,000,000 of the 
     total is available only for defense-related activities 
     instead of $340,000,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $695,000,000 proposed by the Senate. The agreement includes 
     $24,945,000 to be derived from the oil spill liability trust 
     fund as proposed by the House instead of $25,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       Funding for search and rescue stations, surf stations, and 
     command centers.--The conference agreement specifies that 
     $14,541,000 is only for increased staffing, training, and 
     personnel protective gear at search and rescue stations, surf 
     stations, and command centers, instead of $13,541,000 
     proposed by the Senate. Further, the agreement includes 
     language, proposed by the Senate, requiring the Inspector 
     General to audit and certify that these funds are being used 
     solely to supplement the fiscal year 2001 level of effort in 
     this area. The conferees agree that these activities are in 
     dire need of increased funding, and that the Coast Guard 
     should give search and rescue a higher priority for funding 
     in future budget submissions.
       Specific adjustments.--The following table summarizes the 
     House and Senate's proposed adjustments to the Coast Guard's 
     budget request and the final conference agreement:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       Aviation depot maintenance.--The conferees agree that the 
     Coast Guard should work toward developing full and open 
     competition for aviation depot maintenance services of C-130 
     aircraft as soon as possible, but no later than fiscal year 
     2003.
       Marine Fire and Safety Association.--The conferees remain 
     supportive of efforts by the Marine Fire and Safety 
     Association (MFSA) to provide specialized firefighting 
     training and retain an oil spill response contingency plan 
     for the Columbia River. The conferees direct the Secretary to 
     provide $255,000 to continue efforts by the nonprofit 
     organization comprised of numerous fire departments on both 
     sides of the Columbia River. The funding will be utilized to 
     provide specialized communications, firefighting training and 
     equipment, and to implement the oil spill response 
     contingency plan for the Columbia River.
       Lighthouse conveyances.--The conference agreement includes 
     sufficient funding to

[[Page H8668]]

     complete the conveyance of several Coast Guard lighthouse 
     properties and improvements, as authorized under Public Law 
     105-383, that have not been transferred. The conferees expect 
     the Coast Guard to convey the remaining authorized lighthouse 
     properties not later than the end of fiscal year 2002. If the 
     Commandant determines, by June 31, 2002, that the Coast Guard 
     is unable to complete any of the conveyances in the coming 
     fiscal year, the conferees direct the Commandant to submit a 
     report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
     within fifteen days of that decision explaining the reasons 
     why each property has not been transferred and providing an 
     estimated date of completion of that transfer.


              Acquisition, Construction, and Improvements

       The conference agreement includes $636,354,000 for 
     acquisition, construction, and improvement programs of the 
     Coast Guard instead of $600,000,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $669,323,000 as proposed by the Senate. The bill 
     specifies that $20,000,000 of total funding is to be derived 
     from the oil spill liability trust fund, as proposed by the 
     Senate, instead of $19,956,000 proposed by the House. 
     Consistent with past years and the House and Senate bills, 
     the conference agreement distributes funds in the bill by 
     budget activity.
       A table showing the distribution of this appropriation by 
     project as included in the fiscal year 2002 budget estimate, 
     House bill, Senate bill, and the conference agreement 
     follows:

       Integrated deepwater systems (IDS).--The conference 
     agreement includes $320,190,000 for the integrated deepwater 
     systems (IDS) program instead of $300,000,000 proposed by the 
     House and $325,200,000 proposed by the Senate. The agreement 
     includes language, proposed by the House and Senate, 
     prohibiting obligation of funds for the IDS systems 
     integration contract until (1) certification is received from 
     the Department of Transportation and the Office of Management 
     and Budget that the program is fully funded in fiscal year 
     2003-2007 budget plans; (2) certification is received that 
     the national distress and response system modernization 
     program is funded to allow for full deployment by fiscal year 
     2006, and that other essential search and rescue procurements 
     are fully funded; and (3) the Department of Transportation 
     and Office of Management and Budget approve a contingency 
     procurement strategy for assets and capabilities encompassed 
     by the IDS program. Certification authorities for the 
     Department of Transportation for the above items are the 
     Secretary or Deputy Secretary, as proposed by the Senate, 
     instead of the Secretary or his designee, as proposed by the 
     House. Further, the bill includes language, proposed by the 
     Senate, requiring future IDS budget submissions to be 
     specified to a certain level of detail, and making funds 
     available for obligation for five years, instead of three 
     years as proposed by the House.
       Capital investment plan.--The bill includes language, 
     proposed by the Senate, specifying a rescission of $100,000 
     per day for each day after initial submission of the fiscal 
     year 2003 President's budget that the Coast Guard capital 
     investment plan has not been submitted to the Congress. A 
     similar provision is included under Federal Aviation 
     Administration, ``Facilities and equipment''.
       41-foot utility boat replacement.--The conference agreement 
     includes $12,000,000 to begin replacement of the existing 41-
     foot utility boat fleet, instead of $18,000,000 as proposed 
     by the House. The conferees do not accept Coast Guard 
     statements that a full year or more will be needed to develop 
     requirements and specifications for this urgently-needed 
     replacement vessel. The conferees urge the Coast Guard to 
     streamline and expedite the requirements process so that 
     contract award for this replacement project can take place by 
     the end of fiscal year 2002. In the development of 
     requirements, the Coast Guard is to actively involve, and 
     consider the input of, field commanders and enlisted 
     personnel who operate and maintain these boats in carrying 
     out search and rescue missions.
       ATC glass technology.--The conferees agree that, of the 
     funds provided for aviation parts and support, $1,000,000 is 
     only for the application of ambient temperature-cured (ATC) 
     glass technology to Coast Guard aircraft, as proposed by the 
     House.
       National distress and response system modernization program 
     (NDRSMP).--The conferees believe the Secretary or Deputy 
     Secretary of Transportation and the Director of OMB should be 
     attendant to the following milestones in assessing whether 
     the national distress and response system modernization 
     program (NDRSMP) will be fully deployed by fiscal year 2006. 
     Not later than the end of fiscal year 2003, the Coast Guard 
     should prove, at initial operating capability (IOC), the 
     fully integrated technology of the NDRSMP at two of the 46 
     NDRSMP regions and complete low rate initial production at an 
     additional four regions. IOC should include: (1) the 
     capability to locate distressed vessels by identifying 
     vessels through identification of the origin of the 
     communications signal; (2) the ability to send and receive 
     data among Coast Guard and other federal and state research 
     and rescue assets; and (3) the compatibility with 
     international communications standards under the 
     International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea. The Coast 
     Guard should also complete the following percentages of the 
     NDRSMP by the end of the corresponding years shown below:
       Fiscal year 2004: 35 percent;
       Fiscal year 2005: 70 percent; and
       Fiscal year 2006: 100 percent.
       Coast Guard Marine Safety and Rescue Station, Chicago, 
     IL.--The conference agreement includes $2,000,000 for Coast 
     Guard participation in reconstruction of a joint-use Coast 
     Guard Marine Safety and Rescue Station along the Chicago Lake 
     Michigan shoreline. Specifically, the facility would house 
     Coast Guard, City of Chicago, and State of Illinois equipment 
     and personnel for the purposes of air/marine search and 
     rescue, port security, research, and maritime safety. The 
     conferees expect the Coast Guard to work with the City of 
     Chicago and the State of Illinois to plan, fund, and 
     construct this facility. The conferees intend for the Chicago 
     Coast Guard Marine Safety and Rescue Station to complement 
     the air search and rescue station in Waukegan, Illinois and 
     the Coast Guard Marine Safety Office Chicago in Burr Ridge, 
     Illinois.


              acquisition, construction, and improvements

                             (rescissions)

       The conference agreement deletes rescissions proposed by 
     the Senate totaling $8,700,000. Funding in the programs 
     proposed for rescission is no longer available.


                environmental compliance and restoration

       The conference agreement includes $16,927,000 for 
     environmental compliance and restoration as proposed by both 
     the House and Senate.


                         alteration of bridges

       The conference agreement includes $15,466,000 for 
     alteration of bridges deemed hazardous to marine navigation 
     as proposed by the House and Senate. The conference agreement 
     distributes these funds as follows:

       Millenium port selection.--In an effort to expand U.S. 
     trade with Latin America and South America, the State of 
     Louisiana has developed the Millenium Port Commission. Funds 
     were provided in fiscal years 2000 and 2001 for federal 
     support of this commission's activities. The conferees 
     encourage the Millenium Port Commission, cooperating 
     Louisiana ports, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to 
     complete a detailed feasibility analysis of all major options 
     for the Millenium Port by January 1, 2002.


                              retired pay

       The conference agreement includes $876,346,000 for Coast 
     Guard retired pay as proposed by both the House and the 
     Senate. This is scored as a mandatory program for federal 
     budget purposes. The conference agreement includes language 
     proposed by the Senate authorizing these funds for the 
     payment of fifteen-year career status bonuses.


                            reserve training

                     (including transfer of funds)

       The conference agreement provides $83,194,000 for reserve 
     training as proposed by the House and Senate. The agreement 
     allows the Reserves to reimburse Coast Guard ``Operations'' 
     up to $25,800,000 for Coast Guard support of Reserve 
     activities, as proposed by the House and Senate.


              Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation

       The conference agreement provides $20,222,000 for Coast 
     Guard research, development, test, and evaluation instead of 
     $21,722,000 as proposed by the House and Senate. The 
     conferees agree that within the funding provided, $500,000 is 
     for the University of Maine Advanced Engineered Wood 
     Composites Center's demonstration and evaluation of 
     engineered wood composites at Coast Guard facilities, instead 
     of $1,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       Columbia River Aquatic Nuisance Species Initiative 
     (CRANSI).--The conferees are concerned over threats that 
     invasive, non-indigenous plants and animals pose to U.S. 
     waterways and the economy. Within the funds provided, the 
     conferees agree that $500,000 is for the Columbia River 
     Aquatic Nuisance Species Initiative (CRANSI), at the Center 
     for Lakes and Reservoirs at Portland State University, to 
     support surveys of non-indigenous aquatic species in the 
     Columbia River, as proposed by the Senate.

                    Federal Aviation Administration


                               operations

       The conference agreement provides $6,886,000,000 for 
     operating expenses of the Federal Aviation Administration 
     instead of $6,870,000,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $6,916,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. These funds are in 
     addition to amounts made available as a mandatory 
     appropriation of user fees in the Federal Aviation 
     Administration Reauthorization Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-
     264). Of the total amount provided, $5,773,519,000 is to be 
     derived from the airport and airway trust fund, consistent 
     with Public Law 106-181. The total funding provided is 
     $341,765,000 (5.2 percent) above the fiscal year 2001 enacted 
     level and is the maximum amount authorized. The bill 
     specifies amounts by budget activity, as proposed by the 
     House, continuing a practice initiated in fiscal year 2001.
       Aeronautical charting and cartography.--The conference 
     agreement includes language proposed by the House prohibiting 
     funds for any aeronautical charting and cartography 
     activities conducted by, or coordinated through, the 
     Transportation Administrative Service Center.
       User fees.--The conference agreement modifies language 
     proposed by the House prohibiting funds to plan, finalize, or 
     implement new user fees not specifically authorized by 
     Congress. The agreement prohibits funds only for the 
     finalization or implementation of new, unauthorized fees.
       Use of credit hours.--The conferees direct FAA to 
     discontinue the granting of credit hours, or related 
     benefits, in the settlement of union grievances until the OST 
     office of general counsel, working with legal counsel of the 
     FAA and OIG, determines in writing that such practice is 
     consistent with the 1998 collective bargaining agreement with 
     the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) and 
     other existing labor agreements. Once this determination is 
     made, the Secretary is requested to make its finding 
     available to the House and Senate Committees on 
     Appropriations. The House proposed a prohibition on the 
     granting of credit hours for the settlement of union 
     grievances during fiscal year 2002.

       Travel policy.--The conferees do not agree with House 
     direction prohibiting FAA from changing its travel policy 
     regarding per diem payments for extended temporary duty 
     assignments. The conferees understand that FAA has modified 
     its travel policies to address findings of the DOT Inspector 
     General in this area.
       Personnel reform.--The conferees direct the Administrator 
     to report to the House and Senate Committees on 
     Appropriations, not later than January 15, 2002, on how the 
     agency has implemented, and/or plans to implement, the Senate 
     directive regarding personnel reform.
       Airspace redesign.--The conference agreement includes 
     $12,500,000 for the New York/New Jersey airspace redesign, as 
     proposed by the Senate, instead of $8,500,000 proposed by the 
     House.
       Restoration of air traffic supervisors.--The conference 
     agreement restores $5,000,000 of the proposed reductions in 
     air traffic supervisor staffing included in the President's 
     budget. The budget proposed a reduction of $5,400,000 due to 
     planned expansion of the controller-in-charge (CIC) concept. 
     In restoring these positions, the conferees agree with the 
     position of the House that supervisory levels should not be 
     reduced further at this time.
       National airspace system (NAS) handoff.--The conference 
     agreement provides $7,600,000 in this appropriation and 
     $51,006,100 in ``Facilities and equipment'' (F&E) for second 
     year maintenance costs for newly commissioned equipment under 
     the National airspace system (NAS) handoff program. The 
     President's budget included $76,400,000 under F&E for this 
     purpose. The conferees believe it is inconsistent with the 
     principles of existing authorizing legislation to fund these 
     costs under F&E. In all budget submissions through fiscal 
     year 2001, costs to operate and maintain such systems after 
     the first year of operation were to transition to FAA's 
     operating budget. However, due to operating budget pressures, 
     this year the Administration proposed to shift the second 
     year of such costs to the F&E appropriation. These are, in 
     effect, operating costs transferred to a capital 
     appropriation. While the conferees note that Public Law 106-
     181 significantly raised F&E funding, it did so with an 
     understanding that those additional funds would be used for 
     capital costs and not to cover shortfalls in a constrained 
     operating budget. The conferees believe that FAA needs to 
     live within its authorized funding levels for operations 
     without program shifts of this nature.
       GPS non-precision approaches.--The conference agreement 
     includes $5,000,000 to increase the number of GPS non-
     precision instrument approaches developed and published for 
     airports that are not part 139 certificated, and to develop 
     GPS routes to help supplement the current airway route 
     system. These routes will provide important safety and other 
     benefits to general aviation pilots, including increased 
     access to currently inaccessible airports. In that regard, 
     the conferees direct FAA to assure that the GPS instrument 
     approaches provide the necessary procedural information known 
     as LNAV/VNAV minima, to enable their use by pilots in 
     obtaining guidance to the runway once the wide area 
     augmentation system is in place.
       Aviation safety reporting system.--The conferees are aware 
     that the NASA's aviation safety reporting system (ASRS) is a 
     critical component of our aviation safety system. The success 
     of ASRS lies in its ability to offer confidentiality and 
     limited immunity to those who submit reports on unintentional 
     violations of federal aviation regulations. The conferees 
     direct the FAA to work to meet the goal of funding ASRS at 
     $3,400,000 in fiscal year 2002.
       The following table compares the conference agreement to 
     the levels proposed in the House and Senate bills by budget 
     activity:

                         Facilities and Equipment

                    (Airport and Airway Trust Fund)

       The conference agreement provides $2,914,000,000 for 
     facilities and equipment as proposed by the House and the 
     Senate. This is the level mandated by Public Law 106-181, and 
     represents an increase of $257,235,000 (9.7 percent) above 
     the fiscal year 2001 enacted level.
       Administration of potential shortfall due to EAS 
     transfer.--Public Law 104-264 requires the FAA Administrator 
     to cover any shortfall in funding for the essential air 
     service program (below the mandatory amount of $50,000,000) 
     out of any funds otherwise available to the Administrator. 
     While P.L. 104-264 authorized the collection of overflight 
     user fees to cover these expenses, fee receipts have never 
     equaled the mandatory appropriation level, and are not 
     expected to do so in fiscal year 2002. The conferees agree 
     that any shortfall due to transfer of funds to the essential 
     air service program should be borne by unobligated balances 
     from the ``Facilities and equipment'' appropriation, and 
     should not be derived from programs, projects, or activities 
     designated as items of special Congressional interest in 
     Congressional reports or in the fiscal year 2002 base for 
     reprogramming document. The Senate proposed up to $10,000,000 
     of any shortfall should be derived from ``Grants-in-aid for 
     airports''.
       Capital investment plan.--The conference agreement includes 
     a provision, proposed by the Senate, specifying a rescission 
     of $100,000 per day for each day after initial submission of 
     the fiscal year 2003 President's budget that the FAA's 
     capital investment plan has not been submitted to the 
     Congress. This is similar to a provision enacted for 
     fiscal year 2001.
       The following table provides a breakdown of the House and 
     Senate bills and the conference agreement by program:

       Advanced technology development and prototyping.--The 
     conference agreement includes $55,991,000 for advanced 
     technology development and prototyping. A comparison of the 
     budget estimate to the House and Senate proposed levels and 
     the conference agreement follows:

       Concrete pavement research.--Funds provided for concrete 
     pavement research are for airfield pavement improvement 
     activities authorized under sections 905 and 743 of Public 
     Law 106-181.
       Louisville, KY technology demonstration.--The conference 
     agreement includes $5,000,000 to initiate an operational 
     demonstration integrating numerous advanced technologies 
     being developed separately by the FAA into a single airport 
     environment. Although FAA has been developing technologies 
     under several programs, there has been limited testing of 
     these concepts as an integrated system at individual 
     airports. This demonstration will focus on the various 
     operational impacts of integrating GPS-based technology, 
     common ARTS, wake vortex alerting systems, and the 
     application of improved area navigation procedures. 
     Louisville International Airport is ideal for such a program 
     due to its unique operating characteristics.
       Fogeye demonstration.--The conferees are aware of emerging 
     technology, known as fogeye, which utilizes ultraviolet light 
     to assist in low visibility landings and prevent runway 
     incursions. The conference agreement includes $1,000,000 for 
     further evaluation of this technology. In utilizing these 
     funds, the FAA is encouraged to seek the full participation 
     of an airline and airport sponsor to develop a plan for an 
     operational demonstration of fogeye technology to demonstrate 
     the effectiveness of the system at a commercial service 
     airport.
       Local area augmentation system.--The conference agreement 
     includes $43,109,700 for this program, $9,000,000 above the 
     budget estimate, all of which is provided in budget activity 
     one as proposed by the House. The conferees encourage FAA to 
     consider installation of this system at Las Vegas-McCarran 
     International Airport in Nevada once the systems are ready 
     for production. The conferees continue to view the LAAS 
     procurement as an opportunity for FAA to expedite the cost 
     advantageous procurement of precision approach capability 
     through an aggressive public-private cooperative acquisition 
     strategy. The agreement provides the flexibility and 
     resources to continue this innovative acquisition. The 
     following milestones are anticipated in fiscal year 2002: (1) 
     category I contract award by the fourth quarter; (2) category 
     II/III integrity and continuity allocations between avionics 
     and ground equipment determined; (3) finalization of the 
     concept of operations required for fiscal year 2003 
     development of airport procedures; (4) integration of LAAS 
     capabilities into a certifiable avionics receiver; and (5) 
     development of a data collection plan and initiation of 
     flight evaluations for development of complex LAAS approaches 
     (e.g., curved, segmented, and offset). The FAA is directed to 
     report quarterly to the House and Senate Committees on 
     Appropriations regarding the progress toward these and other 
     LAAS milestones.
       Wide area augmentation system.--The conferees agree to 
     provide total funding of $80,900,000 for further development 
     and implementation of the wide area augmentation system 
     (WAAS), all of which is provided in budget activity one as 
     proposed by the House. The conferees do not agree to a 
     specific amount for the development of WAAS standards and 
     procedures. The $5,000,000 provided above the budget estimate 
     is only for initial funds for geostationary satellite 
     services, as recommended by FAA since initial submission of 
     the President's budget. The conferees agree that acquisition 
     of communication services from a third geostationary 
     satellite are critically needed for the program to proceed 
     expeditiously. The conferees continue to have concerns over 
     the schedule slippages and certification issues that plague 
     this program. It appears that the answer to each emerging 
     challenge is a dramatically more expensive version of the 
     original program, with lower performance criteria. The 
     conferees believe the solution to WAAS certification may lie, 
     in part, from the use of positioning data from other 
     navigational or communication capabilities which should not 
     be ignored by the agency. In addition, the FAA should not 
     feel compelled to clear certification hurdles for the entire 
     WAAS program before certifying individual applications for 
     the WAAS signal. Safety and efficiency benefits from WAAS-
     based applications should be measured against the 
     current national airspace system, not against a notional 
     system should the entire WAAS system be eventually 
     certified for use. As in past years, the conferees 
     continue to urge FAA to assess the role and requirements 
     for emerging communications, navigation, and surveillance 
     capabilities as this troubled procurement proceeds.
       ASR-9.--The conferees do not agree with Senate direction to 
     leave in place the ASR-9 radar being sited between Salt Lake 
     City and Provo, Utah for the 2002 Winter Olympics until an 
     ASR-11 radar system is available to replace it. The conferees 
     leave it to the agency's discretion to decide where this 
     system is most needed after completion of the Winter 
     Olympics.
       Aviation weather services improvements.--Of the funding 
     provided for this program, the conferees agree that 
     $3,000,000 is to continue the collaborative effort between 
     FAA and NOAA's National Severe Storms Laboratory to continue 
     research and testing of phased array radar technology and to 
     incorporate airport/aircraft tracking and weather 
     information. The same level of funding was provided in fiscal 
     year 2001.
       Terminal automation.--The conference agreement provides 
     $96,000,000 for this program, instead of $98,500,000 proposed 
     by the House and $87,500,000 proposed by the Senate. Within 
     the funding provided, the conferees agree that ARTS 
     sustainment activities are to be fully funded at the budget 
     request level.
       Automated observation of visibility for cloud height and 
     cloud coverage (AOVCC).--For the past two years, the 
     conferees have requested FAA to implement product 
     improvements and upgrades to current automated weather 
     information programs at airports and report to Congress on 
     the agency's plans to accelerate the deployment of upgrade 
     technology upon successful demonstration of the automated 
     observation of visibility for cloud height and cloud coverage 
     (AOVCC) system. Despite this direction, such report has not 
     been received. Therefore, the conferees direct FAA, in 
     coordination with the National Aeronautics and Space 
     Administration, to complete this testing expeditiously and 
     submit the previously-directed report no later than April 1, 
     2002.
       Instrument landing system establishment/upgrade.--Funding 
     provided for instrument landing systems (ILS) shall be 
     distributed as follows:

       Runway visual range.--Of the $7,085,000 provided for this 
     program, $85,000 is for RVR equipment at the Minneapolis-St. 
     Paul International Airport in Minnesota, and $5,000,000 is 
     for continued acquisition of next generation RVR systems.
       Airport movement area safety system.--The conference 
     agreement does not include direction proposed by the Senate 
     on this program.
       Terminal air traffic control facilities replacement.--The 
     conference agreement includes $131,620,000 for replacement of 
     air traffic control towers and other terminal facilities. The 
     agreement distributes these funds as follows:

       Terminal digital radar (ASR-11).--The conference agreement 
     includes $65,000,000 for continued site implementation and 
     limited production of the ASR-11 radar system. The conferees 
     are aware of the continued uncertainty over the future of 
     this system. If funds become excess to requirements during 
     the year, FAA may use this funding to develop interim or 
     alternate solutions to the problem of providing digital 
     radar coverage in the national airspace system and 
     augmenting funds for upgrade of the ASR-9 radar system.
       Transponder landing systems.--The conference agreement 
     includes $6,000,000 for transponder landing systems as 
     proposed by the Senate instead of $3,000,000 as proposed by 
     the House. The conferees agree that, once the system is 
     certified, the funds made available in this and prior 
     appropriations Acts should be used for both the procurement 
     and installation of these systems. The conferees direct the 
     administrator to rapidly conclude benefit-cost studies and 
     site surveys at locations listed in the Senate report, as 
     well as previous Congressional reports, with the goal of 
     funding the procurement and installation of those projects 
     with the highest justifiable need during fiscal year 2002. 
     The conferees continue to support this program and encourage 
     FAA to work rapidly toward certifying the system.
       Approach lighting system improvement program (ALSIP).--The 
     conference agreement provides $46,481,500 for this program, 
     to be distributed as follows:

       The recommendation includes elimination of the $967,000 
     requested for procurement and installation of an ALSF-2 at 
     Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Funds are 
     provided elsewhere in this budget line for similar activities 
     at that location. The conferees emphasize that the 
     $10,000,000 in additional funding for MALSR systems is for 
     installation of previously purchased systems and to keep the 
     production line operational for future procurements.
       Explosive detection systems.--The conferees agree to 
     provide $97,500,000 for the acquisition and deployment of 
     explosive detection systems at airports. Consistent with the 
     President's budget, the conference agreement distributes 
     funds as shown below:

       Bulk explosive detection systems.--Given the current 
     security situation and requirements in the recently enacted 
     Aviation and Transportation Security Act for improved baggage 
     screening, orders for bulk explosive detection systems (EDS) 
     are expected to grow substantially. Section 110 of the 
     Aviation and Transportation Security Act requires that 
     systems be in operation to screen all checked baggage at 
     airports in the United States as soon as practicable, but not 
     later than the sixty days following enactment of that Act. 
     Although this provision allows the use of manual or canine 
     searches to supplement electronic screening as an interim 
     measure, to minimize the intrusiveness and inefficiency of 
     this procedure, the Act also requires the Undersecretary of 
     Transportation for Security to ensure that EDS systems are 
     deployed as soon as possible to ensure that airports have the 
     equipment necessary to electronically screen all checked 
     baggage no later than December 31, 2002. Given these 
     requirements, it is imperative for the Federal Government to 
     ensure the continued viability of competition for these 
     systems, which has been a struggle over the past few years. 
     Therefore, the conferees do not agree with direction proposed 
     by the House, but instead direct FAA to take all necessary 
     actions to maintain two certified manufacturers of bulk 
     explosive detection systems within the United States. In 
     addition, implementation of these systems has been plagued by 
     FAA's inability to specify maintenance requirements such as 
     mean time between failure and mean time to restore the system 
     after a failure occurs. Without such guidance, vendors cannot 
     design their systems to meet the operational needs of 
     screening forces at our nation's airports. In order to 
     address this issue as quickly as possible, the conferees 
     direct FAA to develop specifications for reliability, 
     maintainability, and availability for bulk EDS systems over 
     the coming year and include them in solicitations for the 
     further acquisition of these systems.
       Trace explosive detection systems.--The conferees 
     understand that new non-intrusive screening technology for 
     the detection of explosives carried by passengers is now 
     ready for deployment after careful and thorough evaluation by 
     the FAA. This commercially available technology, funded by 
     the FAA, builds on existing trace detection instrument 
     capacities already in use protecting airport passengers, the 
     military, U.S. embassies, and commercial nuclear power 
     plants. The conferees urge FAA to accelerate deployment of 
     new non-intrusive screening technologies to airports, to 
     address the threat of explosives carriage on board commercial 
     aircraft.
       Model guidelines for encoded data on driver's licenses.--In 
     light of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, it is clear 
     that all levels of government need to work in concert to 
     deter and prevent future attacks. One means of doing so is to 
     ensure that individuals asked to identify themselves are not 
     using false identities. The increasing availability through 
     the internet of expertly crafted false identification makes 
     the task very difficult. The conferees are aware of 
     technology, existing today, that can quickly scan any encoded 
     data on the reverse of a driver's license to validate the 
     license as legitimately issued. By reviewing personal data 
     encoded on the license, it can also be used to assist in 
     making a quick determination that the person displaying 
     the license is the person to whom it was issued. The 
     conferees strongly encourage the department to consider 
     the development of model guidelines specifying the types 
     of encoded data that should be placed on driver's licenses 
     for security purposes, and to work in concert with states 
     and related licensing bodies toward the early 
     implementation of such measures. This could benefit the 
     nation's efforts to improve security as well as assist in 
     reducing fraud and underage drinking.
       Document and biometric scanning technologies.--Document and 
     biometric scanners linked to federal databases by computers 
     and containing advanced authentication capabilities would 
     facilitate the processing of background checks, provide 
     fingerprint and additional biometric identification 
     capabilities, and authenticate documents presented for 
     identification. It is the conferees' understanding that such 
     off the shelf, commercially available technology is in use or 
     being tested by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. 
     The conferees encourage FAA to assess such document and 
     biometric scanning technologies for use at all commercial 
     service airports. The conferees also recommend that the 
     Secretary implement standards to make use of technologies 
     that quickly and inexpensively assess the daily fitness-for-
     duty of airport security screeners with respect to impairment 
     due to illegal drugs, sleep deprivation, legal medications, 
     and alcohol.
       Fingerprint identification technologies.--The conferees are 
     aware of the promise of forensic-quality fingerprint and 
     palmprint identification technologies for the rapid 
     verification of identities and employee background checks. 
     The Aviation and Transportation Security Act requires the 
     department

[[Page H8680]]

     to investigate the application of biometric technologies such 
     as these off the shelf systems. The conferees encourage FAA 
     and the Transportation Security Administration to evaluate 
     these technologies for their immediate application to 
     aviation security missions.
       Lambert St. Louis International Airport, MO.--In order for 
     the new 9000 foot commercial runway at Lambert St. Louis 
     International Airport to open as scheduled in 2005, the 
     airport must have a mobile ASR-9 Radar Unit moved to St. 
     Louis in 2002. FAA has previously committed to St. Louis to 
     carry out this relocation. The conferees direct FAA to honor 
     this commitment thereby allowing FAA sufficient time to 
     relocate the existing ASR-9 radar to a new site by early 2003 
     in order to accommodate the navigational aide requirements of 
     the new runway.


                        facilities and equipment

                    (airport and airway trust fund)

                              (rescission)

       The conference agreement rescinds $15,000,000 in 
     unobligated balances from the ``Facilities and equipment'' 
     appropriation. The administrator is requested to notify the 
     House and Senate Committees on Appropriations describing the 
     individual programs, projects, or activities from which this 
     reduction is to be drawn before such action is finalized.


                 research, engineering, and development

                    (airport and airway trust fund)

       The conference agreement provides $195,000,000 for FAA 
     research, engineering, and development instead of 
     $191,481,000 as proposed by the House and $195,808,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       The following table shows the distribution of funds in the 
     House and Senate bills and the conference agreement:

[[Page H8681]]

[[Page H8682]]

       System planning and resource management.--The conferees do 
     not agree with Senate direction on this program. Funds for 
     this activity have been provided under Office of the 
     Secretary, ``Transportation planning, research, and 
     development''.
       Propulsion and fuel systems.--Of the funds provided, 
     $2,000,000 is for the Specialty Metals Processing Consortium, 
     $1,000,000 is for research into the use of blended aviation 
     fuels containing at least 80 percent ethanol, and $400,000 is 
     for the General Aviation Propulsion-Compression Ignition Test 
     and Evaluation Program (GAP-CITEP), a joint FAA-NASA effort 
     to evaluate alternative fuels to facilitate the transition 
     away from leaded fuels for general aviation aircraft.
       Flight safety/atmospheric hazards research.--As proposed by 
     the Senate, the conferees agree to provide funding for the 
     joint industry-university aviation safety initiative at 
     Roswell Industrial Air Center in New Mexico, and agree to 
     Senate direction on this program. The conferees stipulate 
     that the funding is intended for start-up costs, and that 
     this activity should work to reach a self-sufficient funding 
     level, without Federal support, once the activity has begun 
     operations.
       Weather.--Of the funds provided, $4,000,000 is for wake 
     turbulence research, instead of $5,000,000 proposed by the 
     Senate.
       Aging aircraft.--The conference agreement provides 
     $32,000,000 for this program instead of $32,111,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $31,911,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. Of the funds provided, the conferees agree to the 
     following allocations:


                                                             Conference
        Activity                                              agreement
National Institute for Aviation Research.....................$4,200,000
Center for Aviation System Reliability........................3,000,000
Aircraft Nondestructive Inspection Validation Center..........3,000,000
Engine Titanium Consortium....................................3,600,000
Airworthiness Assurance Center of Excellence..................4,600,000

       Explosives and weapons detection.--Of the funds provided, 
     $5,000,000 is only for further development of pulsed fast 
     neutron analysis (PFNA) technology, as proposed by the 
     Senate. The conferees note that, during fiscal year 2002, 
     additional funds for activities under this heading may 
     materialize, to be offset by new security user fees that are 
     being put in place. The Aviation and Transportation Security 
     Act (Public Law 107-71) authorizes appropriation of the new 
     user fees for research and development related to aviation 
     security.
       Environment and energy.--The conference agreement includes 
     $22,081,000, of which $20,000,000 is for lower noise aircraft 
     technologies as proposed by the House. The conferees are 
     concerned that necessary airport infrastructure cannot be 
     expanded in some locations due to understandable community 
     concerns over aircraft noise. Further, aircraft noise results 
     in millions of federal dollars being spent each year on 
     mitigation measures, diverting funds which could be applied 
     to capacity enhancement or safety projects. Therefore, the 
     conferees have provided $20,000,000 to speed up the 
     introduction of lower noise aircraft technologies. The 
     conferees expect FAA to work directly with the National 
     Aeronautics and Space Administration to advance aircraft 
     engine noise research.


                       grants-in-aid for airports

                (liquidation of contract authorization)

                      (limitation on obligations)

                    (airport and airway trust fund)

         The conference agreement includes a liquidating cash 
     appropriation of $1,800,000,000, as proposed by the House and 
     the Senate.
       Obligation limitation.--The conferees agree to an 
     obligation limitation of $3,300,000,000 for the ``Grants-in-
     aid for airports'' program as proposed by the House and the 
     Senate. This is the amount mandated by Public Law 106-181.
       Administration.--The conference agreement includes funding 
     to administer the ``Grants-in-aid for airports'' program 
     under a limitation on obligations in this account, as 
     proposed by the Senate, with a modified amount. The agreement 
     includes a limitation of $57,050,000 instead of $64,597,000 
     as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement includes 
     $7,497,000 for airport-related research under ``Facilities 
     and equipment''. The House bill included no funding to 
     administer this program.
       Runway incursion prevention devices.--The bill includes 
     language proposed by the House allowing funds under this 
     limitation to be used for procurement, installation, and 
     commissioning of runway incursion prevention devices and 
     systems. This continues a provision initiated in fiscal 
     year 2001.
       Small Community Air Service Development Pilot Program.--The 
     bill includes language proposed by the House authorizing the 
     use of funds for section 203 of Public Law 106-181 (the Small 
     Community Air Service Development Pilot Program). Further, 
     the bill specifies that $20,000,000 of the funds limited 
     under this program is available only for the conduct of this 
     program in fiscal year 2002. The Senate bill included 
     $27,000,000 for this program in a separate appropriation.
       Letters of intent.--The conference agreement includes 
     funding under the limitation on obligations for the following 
     existing letters of intent:

       High priority projects.--Of the funds covered by the 
     obligation limitation in this bill, the conferees direct FAA 
     to provide not less than the following funding levels, out of 
     available resources, for the following projects in the 
     corresponding amounts. The conferees agree that state 
     apportionment funds may be construed as discretionary funds 
     for the purposes of implementing this provision, consistent 
     with the practice begun in fiscal year 2001. To the maximum 
     extent possible, the administrator is directed to ensure that 
     the airport sponsors for these projects first use available 
     entitlement funds to finance these projects. The conferees 
     note that, separate from the funding for high priority 
     projects cited below, the FAA Administrator will have at 
     least $750,000,000 in additional funds available for 
     competitive discretionary grants for airport projects, new 
     letters of intent, carryover grants from fiscal year 2001, 
     and grants under the Small Community Air Service Development 
     Pilot Program.

     [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TH29NO01.009
     


[[Page H8685]]

       The conferees further direct that the specific funding 
     allocated above shall not diminish or prejudice the 
     application of a specific airport or geographic region to 
     receive other AIP discretionary grants or multiyear letters 
     of intent.
       Alliance Airport, TX.--The Alliance facility serves as a 
     major alternative hub for air cargo traffic. The conferees 
     continue to voice strong support for the runway extension 
     project at Alliance Airport, and encourage FAA to complete a 
     letter of intent and support funding for the timely 
     completion of this project.
       Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, LA.--The FAA is directed 
     to expedite the review, and act upon, the Baton Rouge 
     Metropolitan Airport's application for the reconstruction of 
     runway 4L/22R.


                       Grants-In-Aid for Airports

                    (Airport and Airway Trust Fund)

                 (Rescission of Contract Authorization)

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of unused 
     contract authority totaling $301,720,000. These funds are 
     above the annual obligation ceiling for fiscal year 2002, and 
     remain unavailable to the program. The conference agreement 
     also deletes an appropriation of $720,000, proposed by the 
     House under this heading, for ``Office of the secretary, 
     salaries and expenses''. The conference agreement includes 
     funding for this office under the Office of the Secretary.


                   Aviation Insurance Revolving Fund

       The conference agreement retains language authorizing 
     expenditures and investments from the Aviation Insurance 
     Revolving Fund for aviation insurance activities, as proposed 
     by the Senate. The House had proposed to relocate this 
     language to title III of the bill (general provisions). This 
     provision has been carried in appropriations Acts for many 
     years.


                Small Community Air Service Development

       The conference agreement deletes the appropriation of 
     $20,000,000 for this program proposed by the Senate. The 
     conferees agree that this is a worthy program, as authorized 
     by Public Law 106-181. Funding of $20,000,000 has been 
     provided for this program under the ``Grants-in-aid for 
     airports'' program.

                     Federal Highway Administration


                 LIMITATION ON ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

       The conference agreement limits administrative expenses of 
     the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to $311,000,000, 
     instead of $311,837,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $316,521,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement provides that certain sums be made 
     available under section 104(a)(1)(A) of title 23, U.S.C. to 
     carry out specified activities as follows: $7,500,000 shall 
     be available for child passenger protection education grants 
     as authorized under section 2003(b) of Public Law 105-178, as 
     amended; $4,000,000 shall be available for motor carrier 
     safety research; $841,000 shall be available for motor 
     carrier crash data improvement program; $1,500,000 shall be 
     available for environmental streamlining; and $6,000,000 
     shall be available for the nationwide differential global 
     positioning system.
       The conferees recommend the following adjustments to the 
     budget request by program and activity of the funding 
     provided for FHWA's administrative expenses:

Department of Defense trade collections data................-$1,616,000
Equipment (information technology)...........................-2,529,000
Five new innovative finance positions..........................-500,000
Undistributed reduction in administrative expenses...........-2,048,000

       FHWA streamlining.--The conferees direct the Federal 
     Highway Administration (FHWA) to provide the House and Senate 
     Committees on Appropriations a report, not later than January 
     2, 2002, summarizing FHWA's streamlining efforts. The report 
     should include specific examples of FHWA activities that help 
     streamline the environmental process.
       Incidental Appurtenances For Recreational Vehicles.--The 
     conferees encourage the FHWA Administrator to include in its 
     final rule regarding exclusion of devices from commercial 
     vehicle length and width requirements, an allowance for the 
     commercial transport of recreational vehicles with incidental 
     appurtenances (retractable awnings).
       Performance based outcomes.--The conferees recognize the 
     impact the performance based outcomes can have on the road 
     building industry by allowing contractors the freedom and 
     flexibility to focus on quality and long term performance and 
     encourage the Department of Transportation to further explore 
     their use.


                         FEDERAL--AID HIGHWAYS

       The conference agreement limits obligations for the 
     federal-aid highways program to $31,799,104,000 instead of 
     $31,716,797,000 as proposed by the House and $31,919,103,000 
     as proposed by the Senate.
       Rural consultation in planning process.--The conferees 
     direct the FHWA to submit a letter to the House and Senate 
     Committees on Appropriations, no later than February 1, 2002, 
     describing actions the administration has taken to ensure 
     that transportation officials from rural areas are being 
     consulted in the long-range transportation planning process.
       I-90 Steering Committee.--The conferees direct the FHWA to 
     continue working with the I-90 Steering Committee in 
     Washington State to advance the R-8A alternative through the 
     environmental review process.
       Work zone safety.--The conferees are concerned that each 
     year over 700 people are killed in work zones throughout our 
     nation. The conferees are aware that the Federal Highway 
     Administration has collaborated with the Texas transportation 
     institute (TTI) to establish the national work zone safety 
     information clearinghouse. The clearinghouse serves as a 
     valuable resource in the development and distribution of work 
     zone safety materials for state and local agencies. The 
     conferees are aware that TTI has proposed a work zone safety 
     research program that seeks to improve data collection in an 
     effort to better manage the dangers of roadway work zones. 
     The conferees encourage the Federal Highway Administration 
     to evaluate TTI's proposals and consider requesting 
     funding in future budget submissions.
       Environmental streamlining pilot projects.--The conferees

              Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration


                          motor carrier safety

                 limitation on administrative expenses

                    (including rescission of funds)

       The conference agreement includes $110,000,000 for 
     administrative expenses of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 
     Administration instead of $92,307,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $105,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. Within the 
     $110,000,000 provided, the conferees allocate the following 
     amounts:

Personnel and administration...............................$100,341,000
Commercial drivers license program............................5,000,000
Hotline.........................................................375,000
Reviews of conditional motor carriers.........................1,000,000
Crash data collection.........................................3,284,000

       The conference agreement includes $400,000 to study fatigue 
     management techniques and $100,000 for the deployment of a 
     nation-wide share the road safely program, as outlined in the 
     Senate report.
       Highway watch program.--Within the amount provided for 
     motor carrier research, the conferees direct not less than 
     $500,000 be made available to analyze, evaluate, and expand 
     the highway watch program.
       Bill language is included that rescinds $6,665,342 in 
     unavailable contract authority associated with administrative 
     balances, as proposed by the Senate. The House bill proposed 
     no similar rescission.


                 NATIONAL MOTOR CARRIER SAFETY PROGRAM

                (LIQUIDATION OF CONTRACT AUTHORIZATION)

                          (HIGHWAY TRUST FUND)

       The conference agreement provides a liquidating cash 
     appropriation of $205,896,000 for the national motor carrier 
     safety program as proposed by the House instead of 
     $204,837,000 as proposed by the Senate.


                 NATIONAL MOTOR CARRIER SAFETY PROGRAM

                      (LIMITATION ON OBLIGATIONS)

                          (HIGHWAY TRUST FUND)

         The conference agreement includes a limitation on 
     obligations of $205,896,000 for motor carrier safety grants. 
     This is consistent with the President's budget request. Of 
     this total, $23,896,000 is derived from revenue aligned 
     budget authority. Of this amount $18,000,000 is reserved for 
     Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas to hire border 
     truck safety inspectors and $5,896,000 is reserved for the 
     commercial drivers license program.
       Hazardous materials motor carriers.--The conferees 
     understand that since September 11th FMCSA is giving top 
     priority to visits to all 34,000 hazardous materials motor 
     carriers to ensure that these carriers are aware of the 
     security measures that should be in place. FMCSA had 
     conducted about half of these visits through the end of 
     November, 2001. The conferees direct the FMCSA to give top 
     priority to continuing such visits and to monitoring these 
     carriers after all visits have been completed. A truck 
     carrying hazardous materials can be used as a weapon and 
     FMCSA and the carriers should take every action to prevent 
     this from happening; no activity should be a higher priority 
     to the FMCSA. The conferees direct the FMCSA to report to the 
     House and Senate Committees on Appropriations by January 31, 
     2002 on the status of the visits, what FMCSA found during the 
     visits and what further actions are planned by FMCSA.

             National Highway Traffic Safety Administration


                        Operations and Research

     instead of $122,420,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $132,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       A total of $95,835,000 shall remain available until 
     September 30, 2004 instead of $90,430,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $96,360,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       Bill language is included that rescinds $1,516,000 in 
     unobligated balances authorized under 23 U.S.C. 403 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The House bill contained no similar 
     rescission.
       The agreement includes a provision carried since fiscal 
     year 1996 that prohibits NHTSA from obligating or expending 
     funds to plan, finalize, or implement any rulemakings that 
     would add requirements pertaining to tire grading standards 
     that are not related to safety performance. This provision 
     was contained in both the House and Senate bills.

                (Liquidation of Contract Authorization)

                       (Limitation on Obligation)

                          (Highway Trust Fund)


            (Including Rescission of Contract Authorization)

       The conference agreement provides $72,000,000 from the 
     highway trust fund to carry out provisions of 23 U.S.C. 403 
     as proposed by both the House and the Senate.
       The following table summarizes the conference agreement for 
     operations and research (general fund and highway trust fund 
     combined) by budget activity:

Salaries and benefits.......................................$61,451,000
Travel........................................................1,297,000
Operating expenses...........................................23,113,000
Contract programs:
  Safety performance..........................................7,891,000
  Safety assurance...........................................15,064,000
  Highway safety programs....................................46,133,000
  Research and analysis......................................57,338,000
  General administration........................................643,000
Grant administration reimbursements.........................-11,150,000
                                                       ________________
                                                       
    Total..................................................$201,780,000

       Salaries and benefits.--A total of $61,451,000 is provided 
     for salaries and benefits. This level will support an FTP 
     level of 709, including 15 new FTPs (7.5 FTEs) to assist in 
     regulatory issues as proposed by the Senate. The House 
     approved an FTP level of 664.
       Operating expenses.--Within the $23,113,000 provided for 
     operating expenses, the conferees direct that funding for 
     computer support should continue at the fiscal year 2001 
     level. The conferees believe that this level of funding is 
     adequate, and urge NHTSA to adopt a more cost-effective 
     approach to managing computer support expenses.
       Executive bonuses.--The conferees reduce funding within the 
     salaries and benefits account for executive bonuses because 
     performance goals are not being met (-$20,000).
       Safety performance.--The conference agreement provides 
     $7,891,000 for safety performance, $550,000 above the budget 
     request as proposed by the Senate. The additional funding 
     should be used to expedite key motor vehicle safety standards 
     including TREAD activities and several other backlogged 
     regulatory items. NHTSA is directed to submit a notification 
     letter to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
     if there is a reasonable likelihood that the agency will not 
     meet any deadlines specified in the TREAD Act. In addition, 
     NHTSA shall submit a strategic implementation plan to both 
     the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations with the 
     submission of the fiscal year 2003 budget that specifies 
     timetables, milestones, and the research necessary to 
     implement each provision of TREAD, as well as the amounts 
     provided to these activities in fiscal years 2001 and 2002.
       National occupant protection program.--The conference 
     agreement provides $2,000,000 above the budget request to 
     bolster the national occupant protection program. Of these 
     additional funds, $1,000,000 shall be targeted at high-risk 
     groups, such as minorities, younger drivers, and the 
     occasional seat belt user to increase seat belt usage; and 
     $1,000,000 shall be used to increase local efforts to boost 
     seat belt usage rates in their jurisdictions.
       The conferees remain disappointed that NHTSA has been 
     unable to raise seat belt usage to the Presidential directive 
     of 85 percent by 2000 and direct the agency to refocus its 
     program on achieving meaningful results. As part of this 
     effort, NHTSA shall provide a report to the House and Senate 
     Committee on Appropriations describing its plans to 
     accelerate progress in raising seat belt use. This report is 
     due by February 1, 2002.
       Within the funds provided, NHTSA shall contract with the 
     National Academy of Sciences to conduct a study on the 
     benefits and acceptability of technologies that may enhance 
     seat belt usage in passenger vehicles, as well as any 
     legislative or regulatory actions that may be necessary to 
     enable installation of devices, as proposed by the House.
       Older driver research.--The conferees support NHTSA's 
     efforts to promote the safe mobility of older Americans. As 
     the agency analyzes ways to rehabilitate older Americans who 
     have suffered strokes or other medical conditions to resume 
     some or all of their driving, the conferees encourage NHTSA 
     to closely examine the potential of occupational therapy as 
     an appropriate intervention to improve safety for older 
     drivers.
       Impaired driving.--The conference agreement provides 
     $2,500,000 above the budget request to help states and 
     communities decrease the number of impaired driving 
     offenders, including repeat offenders and those with high 
     blood alcohol content. Up to half of these funds may be 
     awarded to states and communities that want to implement 
     promising new strategies.
       Emergency medical services head injury research.--A total 
     of $2,245,000 has been provided for emergency medical 
     services. Of this amount, $750,000 shall be used to continue 
     training emergency medical service personnel in delivering 
     prehospital care to patients with traumatic brain injuries.
       Biomechanics.--Within the funds provided for biomechanical 
     research, $1,250,000 shall be used to continue research 
     related to traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries caused by 
     motor vehicle, motorcycle, and bicycle accidents at the 
     Injury Control Research Center and other centers of the 
     Southern Consortium for Injury Biomechanics.
       Brake lining friction.--Within the funds provided for 
     research and analysis, $300,000 shall be used for research 
     into brake lining friction, as proposed by the Senate.


                        National Driver Register

                          (Highway Trust Fund)

       The conference agreement provides $2,000,000 for the 
     National Driver Register as proposed by both the House and 
     the Senate.


                     Highway Traffic Safety Grants

                (Liquidation of Contract Authorization)

                          (Highway Trust Fund)

       The conference agreement provides $223,000,000 to liquidate 
     contract authorizations for highway traffic safety grants, as 
     proposed by both the House and the Senate.


                     highway traffic safety grants

                      (limitation on obligations)


                          (Highway Trust Fund)

       The conference agreement limits obligations for highway 
     traffic safety grants to

[[Page H8694]]

     $223,000,000 as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 
     The bill includes separate obligation limitations with the 
     following funding allocations:

State and community grants.................................$160,000,000
Occupant protection incentive grants.........................15,000,000
Alcohol incentive grants.....................................38,000,000
State highway data improvement grants........................10,000,000

       A total of $11,150,000 has been provided for administration 
     of the grant programs as proposed by both the House and the 
     Senate. Of this total, not more than $8,000,000 of the funds 
     made available for section 402; not more than $750,000 of the 
     funds made available for section 405; not more than 
     $1,900,000 of the funds made available for section 410; and 
     not more than $500,000 of the funds made available for 
     section 411 shall be available to NHTSA for administering 
     highway safety grants under chapter 4 of title 23. This 
     language is necessary to ensure that each grant program does 
     not contribute more than five percent of the total 
     administrative costs.
       The conference agreement retains bill language, proposed by 
     both the House and Senate, that limits technical assistance 
     to states from section 410 to $500,000.
       The conference agreement prohibits the use of funds for 
     construction, rehabilitation or remodeling costs, or for 
     office furnishings and fixtures for state, local, or private 
     buildings or structures, as proposed by both the House and 
     the Senate.

                    Federal Railroad Administration


                         Safety and Operations

       The conference agreement provides $110,857,000 for safety 
     and operations instead of $110,461,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $111,357,000 as proposed by the Senate. Within this 
     total, the conferees have funded 26 new positions and 
     provided $350,000 for the Operation Respond Center in 
     Mississippi. The conferees have decreased funding for 
     technical studies and assessments by $500,000 as proposed by 
     the House.
       The conference agreement includes language that permits 
     $6,509,000 of the total funding to remain available until 
     expended instead of $6,159,000 as proposed by both the House 
     and the Senate.
       The conference agreement deletes language, contained in the 
     Senate bill, that authorizes the Secretary to receive 
     payments from the Union Station Redevelopment Corporation, 
     credit them to the first deed of trust, and make payments on 
     the first deed of trust. This language is no longer 
     necessary, as the deed will be paid in full in 2001.
       Railroad freight congestion.--The conferees are aware of 
     significant delays currently affecting railroad freight in 
     and around Chicago, Illinois. It is not uncommon for freight 
     trains in and around Chicago, Illinois to take 72 hours or 
     more to move cargo through the metropolitan area. The 
     conferees direct the Administrator, in cooperation with the 
     Surface Transportation Board, to prepare a comprehensive 
     analysis of the railroad freight congestion problems in the 
     Chicago region, including possible administrative and 
     legislative solutions, and report back to the House and 
     Senate Committees on Appropriations no later than January 15, 
     2002.
       Cuyahoga Valley scenic rail.--The Federal Railroad 
     Administration is strongly encouraged to work closely with 
     the Cuyahoga Valley scenic rail line to assist them in 
     acquiring the necessary resources so that they may extend the 
     line from Akron to Canton.


                   Railroad Research and Development

       The conference agreement provides $29,000,000 for railroad 
     research and development instead of $27,375,000 as proposed 
     by the House and $30,325,000 as proposed by the Senate. None 
     of this funding is to be offset from user fees.
       The following adjustments were made to the budget request:

Hold Transportation Test Center to 2001 level.................-$400,000
Provide half of new request for ride safely....................-300,000
Integrated railway remote information service................+1,000,000
Marshall University/University of Nebraska...................+1,100,000
Baltimore freight and passenger infrastructure study...........+750,000
Freight rail study along I-81 and I-95 corridors...............+250,000

       Integrated railway remote information service.--The 
     conference agreement provides $1,000,000 for the integrated 
     railway remote information service instead of $2,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The conferees direct FRA to evaluate 
     this initiative and if the evaluation is positive, FRA should 
     consider including sufficient funding in future budget 
     requests to continue this work.
       Marshall University/University of Nebraska.--The conference 
     agreement includes $1,100,000 to support Marshall University/
     University of Nebraska safety research projects in the areas 
     of human factors, equipment defects, and train control 
     methods, as outlined in the Senate report.
       Grade crossing education and enforcement.--FRA should 
     continue to work with affected communities, including those 
     in the states of Illinois and Ohio, to establish a 
     comprehensive strategy to address highway-rail grade crossing 
     safety through voluntary, cooperative, education, and 
     enforcement activities. This program should include public 
     and media information campaigns, meetings with communities on 
     specific crossings and the unique safety problems associated 
     with these crossings, as well as support for increased 
     enforcement at crossings. FRA, in conjunction with the states 
     and localities, should work to identify appropriate state and 
     federal resources that may aid communities in their efforts.
       Baltimore, Maryland freight and passenger infrastructure 
     study.--The conference agreement includes $750,000 to conduct 
     a comprehensive study to assess problems in the freight and 
     passenger rail infrastructure in the vicinity of Baltimore, 
     Maryland. FRA shall carry out this study in cooperation with 
     the state of Maryland, Amtrak, CSX Corporation and Norfolk 
     Southern Corporation, as outlined in the Senate bill (Sec. 
     351). The Administrator of FRA shall submit a report, 
     including recommendations, on the results of the study to the 
     House and Senate Appropriations Committees not later than 24 
     months after the date of enactment of this Act.
       Freight rail study along I-81 and I-95 corridors.--A total 
     of $250,000 has been provided to study ways to address 
     freight rail access problems in Tennessee and Virginia along 
     the I-81 and I-95 corridors. This study should contain a 
     detailed market analysis on options to divert congested 
     highway traffic onto rail and the costs of such options. This 
     work should be carried out in cooperation with the affected 
     states and Norfolk Southern Corporation. Financial support 
     should be provided by each state.


            Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Program

       The conference agreement includes a provision, proposed by 
     both the House and the Senate, specifying that no new direct 
     loans or loan guarantee commitments shall be made using 
     federal funds for the payment of any credit premium amounts 
     during fiscal year 2002. No federal appropriation is required 
     since a non-federal infrastructure partner may contribute the 
     subsidy amount required by the Credit Reform Act of 1990 in 
     the form of a credit risk premium. Once received, statutorily 
     established investigation charges are immediately available 
     for appraisals and necessary determinations and findings.


                    Next Generation High-Speed Rail

       The conference agreement provides $32,300,000 for the next 
     generation high-speed rail program instead of $25,100,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $40,000,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The following table summarizes the conference 
     agreement by budgetary activity:

Train control systems.......................................$11,750,000
  Illinois project..........................................(7,000,000)
  Michigan project..........................................(2,000,000)

                                                       ________________
                                                       
    Total...................................................$32,300,000

       Florida corridor.--The conferees have included $3,000,000 
     for the study and design of high speed rail service in 
     Florida and would urge that the study include St. Petersburg 
     and Pinellas County as a possible terminus of any route plan.
       Rail-highway crossing hazard eliminations.--Under section 
     1103 of TEA21, an automatic set-aside of $5,250,000 is made 
     available each year for the elimination of rail-highway 
     crossing hazards. A limited number of rail corridors are 
     eligible for these funds. Of these set-aside funds, the 
     following allocations were made:

                                                             Conference
High-speed rail corridor between Mobile, AL and New Orleans, $2,000,000
High-speed rail corridor between Stuyvesant and Rennselaer, NY1,500,000
Richland County, SC.............................................800,000
Richmond, VA....................................................250,000
Van Nuys, CA....................................................200,000
High-speed rail corridor between Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN and Chicago, 
  IL (TEA21)....................................................250,000
High-speed rail corridor between Milwaukee and Madison, WI......250,000


                     Alaska Railroad Rehabilitation

       The conference agreement provides $20,000,000 for the 
     Alaska Railroad as proposed by the Senate. The House bill 
     contained no similar appropriation.


          National Rail Development and Rehabilitation Program

       The conference agreement deletes funding for the national 
     rail development and rehabilitation program. The Senate 
     included

[[Page H8695]]

     $12,000,000 for this new program. The House bill contained no 
     similar provision.


     Capital Grants to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation

       The conference agreement provides $521,476,000 for capital 
     grants to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation 
     (Amtrak) as proposed by both the House and the Senate.

                     Federal Transit Administration


                        Administrative Expenses

       The conference agreement provides $67,000,000 for 
     administrative expenses of the Federal Transit Administration 
     as proposed by both the House and the Senate. Within the 
     total, the conference agreement appropriates $13,400,000 from 
     the general fund as proposed by both the House and the 
     Senate.
       The conference agreement includes a provision, contained in 
     both bills, that would reimburse the Department of 
     Transportation's Inspector General $2,000,000 for costs 
     associated with audits and investigations of transit-related 
     issues. The conference agreement also includes a provision 
     that limits the amount of funding available for the National 
     transit database to $2,600,000.
       Full-time equivalent staff.--The conference agreement 
     approves the budget request for 10 new staff; however, 
     funding has been reduced for these positions by $431,000. The 
     reduction reflects half-year funding for these new positions, 
     which is consistent with staffing requests in other modal 
     administrations and takes into consideration the high 
     attrition rate at FTA (7.6 percent).
       Project and financial management oversight activities.--The 
     conferees direct that funding made available for the project 
     management oversight function, section 23, shall include at 
     least $28,580,000 for project management oversight and 
     $4,815,000 for financial management oversight reviews. This 
     funding consists of the takedown from the capital investment 
     grants program ($33,164,000) and savings from funding new 
     staff positions at a half-year level ($431,000). The 
     conferees further direct that the FTA submit to the House and 
     Senate Committees on Appropriations, the Inspector General 
     and the General Accounting Office the quarterly FMO and PMO 
     reports for each project with a full funding grant agreement.
       Full funding grant agreements (FFGAs).--TEA21, as amended, 
     requires that the FTA notify the House and Senate Committees 
     on Appropriations as well as the House Committee on 
     Transportation and Infrastructure and the Senate Committee on 
     Banking 60 days before executing a full funding grant 
     agreement. In its notification to the House and Senate 
     Committees on Appropriations, the conferees direct the FTA to 
     include therein the following: (a) a copy of the proposed 
     full funding grant agreement; (b) the total and annual 
     federal appropriations required for that project; (c) yearly 
     and total federal appropriations that can be reasonably 
     planned or anticipated for future FFGAs for each fiscal year 
     through 2003; (d) a detailed analysis of annual commitments 
     for current and anticipated FFGAs against the program 
     authorization; and (e) a financial analysis of the project's 
     cost and sponsor's ability to finance, which shall be 
     conducted by an independent examiner and shall include an 
     assessment of the capital cost estimate and the finance plan; 
     the source and security of all public- and private-sector 
     financial instruments, the project's operating plan which 
     enumerates the project's future revenue and ridership 
     forecasts, and planned contingencies and risks associated 
     with the project.
       The conferees also direct the FTA to inform the House and 
     Senate Committees on Appropriations before approving scope 
     changes in any full funding grant agreement. Correspondence 
     relating to scope changes shall include any budget revisions 
     or program changes that materially alter the project as 
     originally stipulated in the full funding grant agreement, 
     and shall include any proposed change in rail car 
     procurements.


                             Formula Grants

                     (including transfer of funds)

       The conference agreement provides a total program level of 
     $3,592,000,000 for transit formula grants, as proposed by 
     both the House and the Senate. Within this total, the 
     conference agreement appropriates $718,400,000 from the 
     general fund as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 
     The conference agreement provides that the general fund 
     appropriation shall be available until expended.
       The conference agreement provides that funding made 
     available under the clean fuels formula grant program under 
     this heading shall be transferred to and merged with funding 
     provided for the replacement, rehabilitation, and purchase of 
     buses and related equipment and the construction of bus-
     related facilities under ``Federal Transit Administration, 
     Capital investment grants''.
       The conference agreement includes a provision that sets 
     aside $5,000,000 for the VIII Paralympiad for the Disabled, 
     as proposed by the Senate. The House set aside $5,000,000 for 
     both the XIX Winter Olympiad and the VIII Paralympiad for the 
     Disabled. The conferees intend that use of these funds be for 
     the transportation systems for athletes, media, spectators, 
     and other officials associated with the VIII Paralympiad for 
     the Disabled. Language is also included that directs that 
     funds shall be distributed by the Secretary in grants only to 
     the Utah Department of Transportation and that such grants 
     shall not be subject to any local share requirement or 
     limitation on operating assistance, or the Federal Transit 
     Act.
       Distribution of formula funding.--Within the total funding 
     level, the conferees anticipate that formula grants will be 
     distributed as follows:
Urbanized area formula (sec. 5307).......................$3,199,959,806
Elderly and individuals with disabilities (sec. 5310)........84,604,801

     feasibility of having large transit and toll road systems use 
     fare card technology that recognizes and accepts the 
     Sacagawea dollar coins by April 1, 2002, as proposed by the

[[Page H8696]]

     available until expended for capital investment grants as 
     proposed by the House instead of $2,941,000,000 as proposed 
     by the Senate. Within the total, the conference agreement 
     appropriates $568,200,000 from the general fund as proposed 
     by both the House and the Senate.
       Within the total program level, $1,136,400,000 is provided 
     for fixed guideway modernization; $568,200,000 is provided 
     for the replacement, rehabilitation, and purchase of buses 
     and related equipment and the construction of bus-related 
     facilities; and $1,136,400,000 is provided for new fixed 
     guideway systems, as proposed by the House. The Senate 
     increased funding for the new fixed guideway systems by 
     $100,000,000, for a total of $1,236,400,000. In addition to 
     the $1,136,400,000 provided in this Act for new starts, the 
     conference agreement reallocates $1,488,840 to other new 
     start projects contained in this Act. Reallocated funds are 
     derived from unobligated balances from the following new 
     start projects:

Hartford-Old Saybrook, CT project..............................$496,280
New London-Waterfront, CT access project........................496,280
North Front Range, CO corridor feasibility study................496,280

       The conference agreement deletes bill language, proposed by 
     the House, prohibiting funding for section 3015(b) of Public 
     Law 105-178. The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       Three year availability of section 5309 discretionary 
     funds.--The conferees direct the FTA to reprogram funds from 
     recoveries and previous appropriations that remain available 
     after three years and are available for reallocation to 
     only those new starts that have full funding grant 
     agreements in place on the date of enactment of this Act, 
     and with respect to bus and bus facilities, only to those 
     bus and bus facilities projects identified in the 
     accompanying reports of the fiscal year 2002 Department of 
     Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. 
     The FTA shall notify the House and Senate Committees on 
     Appropriations 15 days prior to any such proposed 
     reallocation. The conferees, however, direct the FTA not 
     to reallocate funds provided in the 1998 and 1999 
     Department of Transportation and Related Agencies 
     Appropriations Acts for the following projects:

     Riverside County--San Jacinto, CA branch line project

       The conferees agree that when the Congress extends the 
     availability of funds that remain unobligated after three 
     years and would otherwise be available for reallocation at 
     the discretion of the administrator, such funds are extended 
     only for one additional year, absent further congressional 
     direction.
       Bus and bus facilities.--The conference agreement provides 
     $568,200,000, together with $50,000,000 transferred from 
     ``Federal Transit Administration, formula grants'' and merged 
     with funding under this heading, for the replacement, 
     rehabilitation and purchase of buses and related equipment 
     and the construction of bus-related facilities. No funding is 
     made available to carryout the clean fuels program in this 
     Act. In addition, funds made available for bus and bus

       Fiscal year 2001 project clarifications.--The conference 
     agreement permits projects, identified in the House report, 
     to use fiscal year 2001 appropriations for additional work. 
     Specifically, funds appropriated for the Lowell, 
     Massachusetts transit hub can be used for the Hale Street bus 
     maintenance and operations center; funds appropriated for the 
     Municipal Transit Operators in California can be used for bus 
     and bus facilities; funds appropriated for the King County 
     Metro Eastgate park and ride can be used for the Issaquah

     improvements.
       New fixed guideway systems.--In total, the conference 
     agreement provides $1,137,888,840 for new fixed guideway 
     systems, of which $1,136,400,000 is from new appropriations 
     and $1,488,840 is derived from funds made available in 
     previous Appropriations Acts that have been reprogrammed to 
     new starts funding in fiscal year 2002.
       Appropriations for full funding grant agreements (FFGA).--
     The number of potential new starts projects is expanding 
     rapidly. Currently, there are over 110 projects under 
     consideration that are estimated to cost over $60 billion, if 
     funded to completion. While the conference agreement has 
     funded many worthy projects in the new starts program, there 
     are not sufficient federal resources available to fund even a 
     fraction of the projects under consideration. As a result, 
     the conferees direct FTA not to sign any new full funding 
     grant agreements after September 30, 2002 that have a maximum 
     federal share of higher than 60 percent. This policy will 
     provide local sponsors sufficient time to increase their 
     contributions to these projects, if necessary, and will free 
     up additional federal resources for other meritorious 
     projects seeking an FFGA.
       The conference agreement provides for the following 
     distribution of the recommended funding for new fixed 
     guideway systems as follows:

Net adjustment to budget estimate............................-4,713,000

       The conference agreement permits up to $1,200,000 in fees 
     be collected and deposited in the general fund of the

     and private sources for expenses incurred for training, 
     reports publication and dissemination, and travel expenses

     and Senate Committees on Appropriations before February 1, 
     2002, a strategic plan outlining the improvements in 
     information technology and business modernization that will 
     be made during the next few years. The plan should specify 
     the necessary steps to be taken and funds needed to ensure 
     that RSPA's missions and activities will be underpinned by a 
     current information technology infrastructure with the 
     capability for upgrading.

     Senate. Within this total, $20,707,000 is available until

       The conference agreement approves the request for 26 new 
     positions to support a new community based program and to 
     support the new integrity management program. In addition, 
     the conference agreement exceeds the budget request for the 
     integrity management program by $2,500,000 for a total of 
     $7,443,000, and by $1,992,000 for office of pipeline safety 
     research and development for a total of $4,736,000.
       Within the funds provided for the integrity management 
     program, the conference agreement provides $750,000 for the 
     office of pipeline safety and state training, and adequate 
     funds to interpret pigging data submitted by industry, to 
     witness new construction of pipelines, and to develop 
     improved information systems needed to monitor and evaluate 
     industry data supplied to OPS.
       Within the funds provided for the research and development, 
     the conference agreement provides $600,000 for airborne 
     environmental laser mapping technology research and 
     engineering to support improved leak detection, analysis, and 
     response by Federal, state, and industry pipeline safety 
     officials.
       State of Washington.--The conferees direct that of the 
     unobligated fiscal year 2001 funds for the Washington State 
     pipeline safety program, which is estimated at $800,000, be 
     obligated in fiscal year 2002 as soon as possible.


                     emergency preparedness grants

                     (emergency preparedness fund)

       The conference agreement provides $200,000 for emergency 
     preparedness grants as proposed by both the House and the 
     Senate. The conference agreement includes a limitation on 
     obligations of $14,300,000, consistent with both the House 
     and Senate proposals.


                      office of inspector general

                         salaries and expenses

       The conference agreement appropriates $50,614,000 for this 
     office as proposed by both the House and the Senate. In 
     addition, the agreement includes language under the Federal 
     Transit Administration that would reimburse the Department of 
     Transportation's Inspector General $2,000,000 for costs 
     associated with audits and investigations of transit-related 
     issues. Bill language is also included that authorizes the 
     use of funds for investigation of fraud, deceptive trade 
     practices, and unfair methods of competition in the airline 
     industry, as proposed by both the House and the Senate.

                      Surface Transportation Board


                         salaries and expenses

       The conference agreement appropriates $18,457,000 for 
     salaries and expenses of the Surface Transportation Board as 
     proposed by the Senate instead of $18,563,000 as proposed by 
     the House. The conference agreement includes language as 
     proposed by both the House and Senate that allows the Board 
     to offset $950,000 of its appropriation from fees collected 
     during the fiscal year for a total program level of 
     $17,507,000.
       Union Pacific/Southern Pacific merger.--On December 12, 
     1997, the Board granted a joint request of Union Pacific 
     Railroad Company and the City of Wichita and Sedgwick County, 
     KS (Wichita/Sedgwick) to toll the 18-month mitigation study 
     pending in Finance Docket No. 32760. The decision indicated 
     that at such time as the parties reach agreement or 
     discontinue negotiations, the Board would take appropriate 
     action.
       By petition filed June 26, 1998, Wichita/Sedgwick and UP/SP 
     indicated that they had entered into an agreement, and 
     jointly petitioned the Board to impose the agreement as a 
     condition of the Board's approval of the UP/SP merger. By 
     decision dated July 8, 1998, the Board agreed and imposed the 
     agreement as a condition to the UP/SP merger. The terms of 
     the negotiated agreement remain in effect. If UP/SP or any of 
     its divisions or subsidiaries materially changes or is unable 
     to achieve the assumptions on which the Board based its final 
     environmental mitigation measures, then the Board should 
     reopen Finance Docket 32760 if requested by interested 
     parties, and prescribe additional mitigation properly 
     reflecting these changes if shown to be appropriate.
       Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad (DM&E).--For more than 
     3 years, the Surface Transportation Board has been 
     considering an application on the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern 
     Railroad. The conferees believe that the board should 
     complete action on this proceeding. A petitioner has a 
     legitimate expectation of receiving a decision on an 
     application within a reasonable period of time.


                  bureau of transportation statistics

                     office of airline information

                    (airport and airway trust fund)

       The conference agreement deletes funding, proposed by the 
     Senate, for the office of airline information. The House bill 
     contained no similar appropriation.

                            RELATED AGENCIES

       Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board


                         salaries and expenses

       The conference agreement appropriates $5,015,000 for 
     salaries and expenses of the Architectural and Transportation 
     Barriers Compliance Board as proposed by the Senate instead 
     of $5,046,000 as proposed by the House.

                  National Transportation Safety Board


                         Salaries and Expenses

       The conference agreement includes $68,000,000 for salaries 
     and expenses of the National Transportation Safety Board 
     (NTSB), instead of $64,400,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $70,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. This provides an 
     increase of $5,058,000 (8 percent) above the fiscal year 2001 
     enacted level. The additional $3,520,000 above the budget 
     estimate will help the NTSB address needed financial 
     management improvements and overtime requirements.

                               TITLE III

                           GENERAL PROVISIONS

     driver's license or motor vehicle record without express 
     consent of the person to whom such information pertains; and

       Sec. 317 allows funds received by the Federal Highway 
     Administration, Federal Transit Administration, and the 
     Federal Railroad Administration from States, counties, 
     municipalities, other public authorities, and private sources 
     for expenses incurred for training may be credited to each

     and Senate.
       Sec. 318 rescinds $9,231,000 of funds made available for

     used by the State of Hawaii to initiate and operate a 
     passenger ferryboat services demonstration project. The House 
     contained no similar provision.

       Sec. 331 modifies the Senate provision that allows the 
     Coast Guard Yard (Curtis Bay, MD) and other Coast Guard 
     specialized facilities in fiscal year 2002 to qualify as 
     components of the Department of Defense for competition and 
     workload assignment purposes when providing support to the 
     Department of Defense, and allows the Yard and other 
     specialized facilities to enter into joint public-private 
     partnerships and other cooperative arrangements for the 
     performance of work which includes allowing the Coast Guard 
     to pay and receive funds, materials, services and the use of 
     facilities from such public and private entities. The Senate 
     proposed to amend section 648 of title 14, United States 
     Code, to include other Coast Guard specialized facilities 
     designated by the Commandant and included Sec. 331 as a new 
     subsection of section 648. The House contained no similar 
     provision.
       Sec. 332 prohibits funds in this Act unless the Secretary 
     of Transportation notifies the House and Senate Committees on 
     Appropriations not less than three full business days before 
     any discretionary grant award, letter of intent, or full 
     funding grant agreement totaling $1,000,000 or more is 
     announced by the department or its modal administration as 
     proposed by both the House and Senate.
       Sec. 333 prohibits funds for design or construction of a 
     light rail system in Houston, Texas, instead of prohibiting 
     funds for planning, design, or construction of a light rail 
     system in Houston, Texas, proposed by the House. The Senate 
     proposed no similar provision. The conference agreement also 
     includes a new provision to allow funds available in this Act 
     for a Houston, Texas, metro advanced transit plan project to 
     be available for obligation under certain conditions. The 
     House and Senate proposed no similar provision.
       Sec. 334 prohibits funds in this Act for engineering work 
     related to an additional runway at New Orleans International 
     Airport as proposed by the House. The Senate contained no 
     similar provision.
       Sec. 335 prohibits funds in this Act to be used to adopt 
     guidelines or regulations requiring airport sponsors to 
     provide the Federal Aviation Administration ``without cost'' 
     buildings, maintenance, or space for FAA services as proposed 
     by both the House and Senate. The prohibition does not apply 
     to negotiations between FAA and airport sponsors concerning 
     ``below market'' rates for such services or to grant 
     assurances that require airport sponsors to provide land 
     without cost to the FAA for air traffic control facilities.
       Sec. 336 includes the Senate provision that provides funds 
     to administer motor carrier safety programs and motor carrier 
     safety research by allowing the Secretary, as the Secretary 
     determines necessary, to deduct a sum not to exceed two-
     fifths of 1 percent of all sums made available from the 
     federal lands highways program, the surface transportation 
     program, the congestion mitigation and air quality 
     improvement program, the National Highway System, the 
     interstate maintenance program, the bridge program, the 
     Appalachian development highway system, and the minimum 
     guarantee program. The House proposed no similar provision.
       Sec. 337 includes the Senate provision that authorizes the 
     Federal Aviation Administration to use funds from airport 
     sponsors, including grants-in-aid for airports funds, for the 
     hiring of additional staff or for obtaining services of 
     consultants for the purpose of facilitating environmental 
     activities related to airport projects that add critical 
     airport capacity to the national air transportation system. 
     The House proposed no similar provision.
       Sec. 338 includes the Senate provision that prohibits funds 
     in this Act to be used for developing a new regional airport 
     for southeast Louisiana until a commission of stakeholders 
     submits a comprehensive plan that is approved by the 
     administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration and the 
     House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. The House 
     proposed no similar provision.
       Sec. 339 modifies the House and Senate provision that 
     allows States to use highway safety program funds (section 
     402 of title 23, United States Code) to produce and place 
     highway safety service messages in television, radio, cinema, 
     internet, and print media based on guidance issued by the 
     Secretary of Transportation; and requires the States to 
     report to the Secretary on the use of such funds for public 
     service messages. Sec. 339 also modifies the Senate provision 
     to require that $8,000,000 of the funds provided for 
     innovative seat belt projects (section 157 of title 23, 
     United States Code) be used by the States, as directed by the 
     Secretary of Transportation, to purchase advertising to 
     publicize the States' seat belt enforcement efforts during 
     one or more of the Operation ABC national mobilizations; and 
     requires that up to $2,000,000 of the funds provided for 
     innovative seat belt projects be used by the Secretary to 
     evaluate the effectiveness of State seat belt programs that 
     purchase such advertising. The Senate proposed that 
     $15,000,000 designated for innovative grant funds be used for 
     national television and radio advertising to support the 
     national law enforcement mobilizations conducted in all 50 
     states aimed at increasing safety belt and child safety seat 
     use and controlling drunk driving. The House proposed no 
     similar proposal on funding.
       Sec. 340 amends item number 1348 in the table contained in 
     section 1602 of Public Law 105-178 to include ``Construct 
     Gastineau Channel Second Crossing to Douglas Island'' as 
     proposed by the House. The Senate proposed to amend item 1348 
     to include ``Second Douglas Island Crossing''.
       Sec. 341 prohibits funds for the Office of the Secretary of 
     Transportation to approve assessments or reimbursable 
     agreements pertaining to funds appropriated to the modal 
     administrations in this Act, unless such assessments or 
     agreements have completed the normal reprogramming process 
     for Congressional notification as proposed by the House. The 
     Senate proposed no similar provision.

[[Page H8705]]

       Sec. 342 amends item 642 in the table contained in section 
     1602 of Public Law 105-178 to redesignate such project in 
     Washington as the ``Passenger only ferry to serve Kitsap and 
     King Counties to Seattle'' instead of ``passenger only ferry 
     to serve Kitsap County-Seattle'' as proposed by both the 
     House and Senate.
       Sec. 343 amends item 1793 in the table contained in section 
     1602 of Public Law 105-178 to redesignate such project in 
     Washington as the ``Passenger only ferry to serve Kitsap and 
     King Counties to Seattle'' instead of ``passenger only ferry 
     to serve Kitsap County-Seattle'' as proposed by both the 
     House and Senate.
       Sec. 344 amends item 576 in the table contained in section 
     1602 of Public Law 105-178 to allow for construction of the 
     Missouri Center for Advanced Highway Safety as proposed by 
     the House. The Senate proposed no similar provision.
       Sec. 345 includes the House provision that designates the 
     Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority transit 
     station located at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport 
     as the ``Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport Station'', 
     and directs the transit authority to modify signs, maps, 
     directories, documents and other records published by the 
     authority to reflect the designation. The Senate proposed no 
     similar provision.
       Sec. 346 prohibits funds in this Act to any person or 
     entity convicted of violating the Buy American Act as 
     proposed by the House. The Senate proposed no similar 
     provision.
       Sec. 347 modifies the Senate provision that allows 
     discretionary bridge program funds in fiscal year 2002 to be 
     used for historic covered bridges eligible for federal 
     assistance under section 1224 of Public 105-178. The House 
     proposed no similar provision.
       Sec. 348 includes the Senate provision that prohibits funds 
     for Coast Guard Acquisition, construction, and improvements 
     after the fifteenth day of any quarter of any fiscal year 
     unless the Commandant of the Coast Guard first submits a 
     quarterly report to the House and Senate Committees on 
     Appropriations on all major Coast Guard acquisition projects. 
     The House proposed no similar provision.
       Sec. 349 reduces transportation administrative service 
     center funds by $5,000,000 instead of reducing funds by 
     $37,000,000 and limiting fiscal year 2002 obligations to no 
     more than $120,323,000 instead of limiting obligations to no 
     more than $88,323,000 as proposed by the Senate. The House 
     proposed no similar provision.
       Sec. 350. The conference agreement modifies provisions 
     proposed by the House and Senate regarding the safety of 
     cross-border trucking between the United States and Mexico. 
     The House proposed to prohibit the use of funds for the 
     processing of applications by Mexico-domiciled motor carriers 
     to operate in the interior of the United States, beyond the 
     commercial zones adjacent to the U.S.-Mexican border. The 
     Senate proposed to condition the use of funds to process 
     applications upon the certification by officials of the 
     Department of Transportation that specific safety-related 
     requirements had been met and upon promulgation in final form 
     of related regulations. The conference agreement includes 
     multiple provisions which, among other things:
       1. Require safety examinations by the DOT of all Mexican 
     motor carriers before they are granted conditional operating 
     authority. Fifty percent of all such examinations are to be 
     conducted on-site, and on-site examinations are to cover at 
     least fifty percent of carriers and 50 percent of estimated 
     truck traffic in a given year. An exemption from the on-site 
     requirement is provided for Mexican motor carriers with three 
     or fewer commercial vehicles. However, such carriers may be 
     subject to on-site examinations or reviews at the discretion 
     of the DOT;
       2. Require a full safety compliance review--and a 
     satisfactory rating resulting from that review--before any 
     Mexican motor carrier can be granted permanent operating 
     authority. Provisions that require on-site performance of 
     safety examinations also apply to compliance reviews. Any 
     carrier that has not received an on-site safety examination 
     must undergo an on-site compliance review. The result of this 
     provision is that every Mexican motor carrier operating four 
     or more commercial vehicles and applying for cross-border 
     authority, will be required to undergo at least one safety or 
     compliance review conducted on-site at the carrier's place of 
     business in Mexico before permanent operating authority is 
     granted;
       3. Require Federal and State inspectors at the border to 
     electronically verify the validity of driver's license of 
     every driver carrying a placardable quantity of hazardous 
     material, every driver undergoing a Level I safety 
     inspection, and at least 50 percent of all other Mexican 
     motor carrier drivers crossing the border;
       4. Require all Mexican motor carriers granted authority to 
     operate in the United States to display a Commercial Vehicle 
     Safety Alliance decal verifying satisfactory completion of a 
     safety inspection. These vehicles must undergo safety 
     inspections at least every 90 days in order to display such a 
     decal. This requirement will no longer apply to a carrier 
     once that carrier has operated for three consecutive years 
     under permanent operating authority;
       5. Require that the 10 highest volume border crossings be 
     equipped with weigh-in motion systems and that inspectors 
     verify the weight of each Mexican motor carrier entering the 
     United States. Of this total, 5 crossings shall be equipped 
     before the border is opened and the remainder shall be 
     equipped within 12 months of enactment of this Act;
       6. Require the Department of Transportation to issue 
     interim final safety-related regulations and policies;
       7. Prohibit Mexican motor carriers from crossing into the 
     United States at any border crossing where a certified motor 
     carrier safety inspector is not on duty or where there is not 
     adequate capacity to either conduct a sufficient number of 
     meaningful vehicle safety inspections or accommodate vehicles 
     placed out-of-service as a result of safety inspections;
       8. Prohibit vehicles that are owned or leased by a Mexican 
     motor carrier, and that carry hazardous materials, to operate 
     beyond the commercial zone, until the United States has 
     completed an agreement with the government of Mexico to 
     ensure that drivers of vehicles carrying a placardable 
     quantity of hazardous materials meet substantially the same 
     safety requirements as those met by U.S. drivers;
       9. Prohibit any Mexican motor carrier from operating beyond 
     the commercial zone until (1) the Department of 
     Transportation Inspector General first conducts a 
     comprehensive review of the DOT's ability to ensure safety on 
     U.S. highways once Mexican motor carriers are allowed to 
     operate within the internal U.S.; and (2) the Secretary of 
     Transportation certifies in writing in a manner addressing 
     the IG's findings that the opening of the border does not 
     pose an unacceptable safety risk to the American public; and
       10. Require the DOT IG to conduct a follow up review at 
     least 180 days following the first review cited above and 
     then annually thereafter.
       The House proposed prohibiting funds in this Act to process 
     applications by Mexico-domiciled motor carriers for 
     conditional or permanent authority to operate beyond the 
     United States municipalities and commercial zones adjacent to 
     the United States-Mexico border. The Senate proposed 
     prohibiting funds for the review or processing of an 
     application by a Mexican motor carrier for authority to 
     operate beyond United States municipalities and commercial 
     zones on the United States-Mexico border until the Federal 
     Motor Carrier Safety Administration performs full safety 
     compliance reviews and inspections of Mexican motor carriers; 
     and until the Department of Transportation Inspector General 
     certifies in writing that certain criteria are met pertaining 
     to fully trained inspectors, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 
     Administration, the information infrastructure of the Mexican 
     government, border crossing capacity, and an accessible 
     safety monitoring database.
       Sec. 351 includes the Senate provision that directs the 
     Secretary of Transportation to include all public and private 
     non-federal contributions made on or after January 1, 2000, 
     for the regional transportation commission resort corridor 
     fixed guideway project in Clark County, Nevada, to be used to 
     meet the non-federal share requirement of any element or 
     phase of the project. The House proposed no similar 
     provision.
       Sec. 352 modifies the Senate provision that requires the 
     Secretary, in consultation with the Comptroller General of 
     the United States, to conduct a study of the hazards and 
     risks to public health and safety, the environment, and the 
     economy associated with the transportation of hazardous and 
     radioactive materials. The provision requires the study to be 
     completed not later than six months after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act. The conferees expect that 
     radiopharmaceuticals and medical radionuclides should be 
     exempt from this study. The House proposed no similar 
     provision.
       Sec. 353 modifies the Senate provision that directs the 
     State of Georgia to give priority consideration to improving 
     the Johnson Ferry Road, including the bridge over the 
     Chattahoochee River, and to widening Abernathy Road with 
     funds apportioned to the State of Georgia from revenue 
     aligned budget authority by also directing the State of 
     Alabama to give priority consideration to construction of the 
     approaches to the Patton Island Bridge with funds apportioned 
     to the State of Alabama from revenue aligned budget authority 
     and for planning, design, engineering, and construction of an 
     interchange on I-55 at approximately mile marker 114 and 
     connector roads in Madison County with funds apportioned to 
     the State of Mississippi from revenue aligned budget 
     authority. The House proposed no similar provisions.
       Sec. 354 includes the Senate provision that amends section 
     355(a) of the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 
     to require certification by the Secretary that the states of 
     New Hampshire and Maine have achieved a safety belt use rate 
     of not less than 50 percent. The House proposed no similar 
     provision.
       Sec. 355 includes the Senate provision that requires the 
     Secretary of Transportation to conduct a study on the cost 
     and benefits of constructing a third bridge across the 
     Mississippi River in the Memphis, Tennessee, metropolitan 
     area. The provision requires the study be submitted to the 
     Congress not later than 180 days after the date of enactment 
     of this Act. The House proposed no similar provision.
       Sec. 356 provides the sense of Congress that the Secretary 
     of Transportation should not take any action that would 
     diminish or revoke any exemption from certain restrictions on 
     maximum driving time and on-duty

[[Page H8706]]

     time in effect on the date of the enactment of this Act for 
     commercial motor vehicle drivers as proposed by the Senate. 
     The House proposed no similar provision.
       Sec. 357 transfers the Point Retreat Light Station, 
     including all property under lease as of June 1, 2000, to the 
     Alaska Lighthouse Association, as authorized in Public Law 
     105-383. The conferees note that the transfer is subject to 
     conditions contained in that Act and furthermore expect that 
     public access to the property for recreation, hunting, and 
     fishing will be largely unchanged. The House proposed no 
     similar provision.
       Sec. 358 modifies the Senate provision that directs the 
     State of Minnesota to give priority consideration to the 
     Southeast main and rail relocation project in Moorhead and to 
     improving I-35 W at Lake Street in Minneapolis with funds 
     apportioned to the State of Minnesota from revenue aligned 
     budget authority. The House proposed no similar provision.
       Sec. 359 directs the Secretary of Transportation to approve 
     the use of National highway system and surface transportation 
     program funds for construction of type II noise barriers in 
     specific locations in the States of Georgia and Pennsylvania 
     instead of solely in the State of Georgia as proposed by the 
     Senate. The House proposed no similar provision.
       Sec. 360 allows funds provided in Public Law 106-346 to be 
     available for the widening of U.S. 177 from SH-33 to 32nd 
     Street in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The House and Senate proposed 
     no similar provision.
       Sec. 361 amends section 3030(d)(3) of Public Law 105-178 to 
     authorize the Alabama State docks intermodal passenger and 
     freight facility for bus and bus-related facilities funding. 
     The House and Senate proposed no similar provision.
       Sec. 362 amends section 1105(c) of Public Law 102-240 to 
     include the Louisiana Highway 1 corridor from Grand Isle, 
     Louisiana, along Louisiana Highway 1 to the intersection with 
     United States Route 90 as a high priority corridor on the 
     national highway system. The House and Senate proposed no 
     similar provision.
       Sec. 363 amends item 425 in the table contained in section 
     1602 of Public Law 105-178 to extend and improve Louisiana 
     Route 42 from and along U.S. 61 to I-10 in Ascension and East 
     Baton Rouge Parishes in the State of Louisiana. The House and 
     Senate proposed no similar provision.
       Sec. 364 amends items 111 and 1583 in the table contained 
     in section 1602 of Public Law 105-178 to include other areas 
     in the city of Paducah and McCracken County, Kentucky. The 
     House and Senate proposed no similar provision.
       Sec. 365 amends section 1105(c)(3) of Public Law 102-240 to 
     clarify the Kentucky corridor by including the Louie B. Nunn 
     Parkway as part of the Interstate 66 high priority corridor 
     of the national highway system. The House and Senate proposed 
     no similar provisions.
       Sec. 366 amends section 1105(c)(15) of Public Law 102-240 
     to include the existing Purchase Parkway from the Tennessee 
     state line to Interstate 24 in Kentucky as part of the

     240 to designate the Purchase Parkway corridor as interstate 
     route 69 and the Louie B. Nunn Parkway corridor as interstate 
     route 66; and directs the Commonwealth of Kentucky to erect 
     signs identifying such corridors as ``future'' interstates. 
     The House and Senate proposed no similar provisions.
       Sec. 368 allows capital investment funds available to the 
     Southern coalition for advanced transportation (SCAT) in 
     Public Law 106-69 and Public Law 106-346 that remain 
     unobligated to be transferred to the transit planning and 
     research account for the electric transit vehicle institute 
     in Tennessee. The House and Senate proposed no similar 
     provisions.
       Sec. 369 makes technical amendments to Public Law 107-20 to 
     clarify the source of funding under federal-aid highways. The 
     House and Senate proposed no similar provisions.
