     in the case of section 105, $2,000,000,000) for such fiscal

       (B) the total of the sums authorized to be appropriated for 
     such programs that are apportioned to all States for such 
     fiscal year.
       (d) Redistribution of Unused Obligation Authority.--
     Notwithstanding subsection (c), the Secretary shall after 
     August 1 of each of fiscal years 2004 through 2009 revise a 
     distribution of the obligation authority made available under

     will not be obligated during the fiscal year and redistribute 
     sufficient amounts to those States able to obligate amounts 
     in addition to those previously distributed during that 
     fiscal year. In making the redistribution, the Secretary 
     shall give priority to those States having large unobligated 
     balances of funds apportioned under sections 104 and 144 of 
     title 23, United States Code.

     3 fiscal years.

     through 2009, the Secretary shall distribute to the States 
     any funds (1) that are authorized to be appropriated for such 
     fiscal year for Federal-aid highway programs, 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 (c)(6). The funds so distributed shall be 
     available for any purposes described in section 133(b) of 
     title 23, United States Code.
       (g) Special Rule.--Obligation authority distributed for a 
     fiscal year under subsection (c)(4) for a section set forth 
     in subsection (c)(4) shall remain available until used for 
     obligation of funds for such section and shall be in addition 
     to the amount of any limitation imposed on obligations for 
     Federal-aid highway and highway safety construction programs 
     for future fiscal years.
       (h) Increase in Obligation Limit.--Limitations on 
     obligations imposed by subsection (a) for a fiscal year shall 
     be increased by an amount equal to the amount determined 
     pursuant to section 251(b)(1)(B)(ii)(I)(cc) of the Balanced 
     Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (2 U.S.C. 
     901(b)(2)(B)(ii)(I)(cc)) for such fiscal year. Any such 
     increase shall be distributed in accordance with this 
     section.
       (i) Limitations on Obligations for Administrative 
     Expenses.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
     total amount of all obligations under section 104(a) of title 
     23, United States Code, shall not exceed--

     SEC. 1304. PROJECTS OF NATIONAL AND REGIONAL SIGNIFICANCE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) Under current law, surface transportation programs rely 
     primarily on formula capital apportionments to States.
       (2) Despite the significant increase for surface 
     transportation program funding in the Transportation Equity 
     Act of the 21st Century, current levels of investment are 
     insufficient to fund critical high-cost transportation 
     infrastructure facilities that address critical national 
     economic and transportation needs.
       (3) Critical high-cost transportation infrastructure 
     facilities often include multiple levels of government, 
     agencies, modes of transportation, and transportation goals 
     and planning processes that are not easily addressed or 
     funded within existing surface transportation program 
     categories.
       (4) Projects of national and regional significance have 
     national and regional benefits, including improving economic 
     productivity by facilitating international trade, relieving 
     congestion, and improving transportation safety by 
     facilitating passenger and freight movement.
       (5) The benefits of such projects described in paragraph 
     (4) accrue to local areas, States, and the Nation as a result 
     of the effect such projects have on the national 
     transportation system.
       (6) A program dedicated to constructing projects of 
     national and regional significance is necessary to improve 
     the safe, secure, and efficient movement of people and goods 
     throughout the United States and improve the health and 
     welfare of the national economy.
       (b) Establishment of Program.--The Secretary shall 
     establish a program to provide grants to qualified entities 
     for projects of national and regional significance.

       (1) Eligible project costs.--The term ``eligible project 
     costs'' means the costs of--
       (A) development phase activities, including planning, 
     feasibility analysis, revenue forecasting, environmental 
     review, preliminary engineering and design work, and other 
     preconstruction activities; and
       (B) construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, and 
     acquisition of real property (including land related to the 
     project and improvements to land), environmental mitigation, 
     construction contingencies, acquisition of equipment, and 
     operational improvements.

     implement the pilot program. The rule shall include the 
     following factors for eligibility of a highway construction 
     project to be included in the program:
       (A) A requirement that the contract for the project must 
     include a long-term limited warranty that is of a duration 
     sufficient to ensure that--
       (i) the cost to the State of the project that will be 
     carried out is less than the estimated cost to construct the 
     project without the warranty plus the estimated costs that 
     would be incurred by the State and that would otherwise be 
     covered during the proposed warranty period if a warranty 
     were in effect; and
       (ii) the estimated cost to road users during the warranty 
     period is less than such estimated cost without a warranty.
       (B) In determining the sufficient duration of a long-term 
     limited warranty under subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall 
     establish separate sufficient durations for different types 
     of projects, such as initial construction, pavement 
     resurfacing and rehabilitation, and pavement markings.
       (C) A requirement that the limited warranty must address, 
     at a minimum--
       (i) the responsibilities of the warranty provider;
       (ii) the responsibilities of the Department of 
     Transportation;
       (iii) the terms of the warranty, including duration and, if 
     applicable, traffic volumes and vehicle classification; and
       (iv) performance criteria to be met to determine if 
     maintenance is required.
       (2) Factors to consider.--In issuing the rule, the 
     Secretary may consider the following factors as requirements 
     for the warranty contract for eligibility under the pilot 
     program:
       (A) A plan to account for inflation during the warranty 
     period.
       (B) The frequency of performance assessments performed.
       (C) The response time for repairs.
       (D) A plan for emergency repairs.
       (E) Clearly set out limits of liability under the warranty, 
     if any.
       (F) Dispute resolution provisions.
       (G) A severability provision.
       (H) Other provisions the Secretary considers necessary for 
     carrying out the program.
       (g) Savings.--Section 112 of title 23, United States Code, 
     shall apply to the projects carried out under this section 
     unless the Secretary determines that applying such section to 
     such projects is inconsistent with the provisions of this 
     section.

     availability of contingency amounts that the Secretary 
     determines to be reasonable to cover unanticipated cost 
     increases;

     the development of commercially viable fuel cell bus 
     technology and related infrastructure.
       (b) General Authority.--The Secretary may enter into 
     grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements with no more 
     than 4 nonprofit organizations and recipients under chapter 
     53 of title 49, United States Code, to conduct fuel cell bus 
     technology and infrastructure projects under the program.
       (c) Grant Criteria.--In selecting applicants for grants

     systems; and
       (4) other criteria that the Secretary determines are 
     necessary to carry out the program.
       (d) Competitive Grant Selection.--The Secretary shall 
     conduct a national solicitation for applications for grants

       (a) Definitions.--In this section, the following 
     definitions apply:
       (1) Eligible area.--The term ``eligible area'' means an 
     urbanized area with a population of less than 200,000 that 
     meets or exceeds in one or more performance categories the 
     industry average for all urbanized areas with a population of 
     at least 200,000 but not more than 999,999, as determined by 
     the Secretary in accordance with subsection (c)(2).
       (2) Performance category.--The term ``performance

     operating grants under this section to eligible recipients 
     described in subsection (d) for use in eligible areas.
       (c) Apportionment.--
       (1) Apportionment formula.--Funds made available for grants 
     under this section in a fiscal year shall be apportioned

     more than 999,999; bears to
       (B) the aggregate number of performance categories for 
     which all eligible areas meet or exceed the industry average 
     in urbanized areas with a population of at least 200,000 but 
     not more than 999,999.
       (2) Data used in formula.--The Secretary shall calculate 
     apportionments under this subsection for a fiscal year using 
     data from the national transit database used to calculate

     in the development of highway construction and public transit 
     improvements. These principles are as follows:
       (A) Assign responsibilities at the right level.
       (B) Use collaborative processes to break down barriers and 
     find solutions.
       (C) Move to a performance-based system.
       (D) Separate subjective choices from objective data 
     gathering.
       (E) Pursue economic incentives whenever appropriate.
       (F) Ensure environmental understanding.
       (G) Make sure environmental decisions are fully informed.
       (H) Use appropriate geographic boundaries for environmental 
     problems.
       (2) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to reduce 
     delays in the delivery of highway construction and public 
     transportation capital projects arising from the 
     environmental review process, while continuing to ensure the 
     protection of the human and natural environment.

     an opportunity for involvement by participating agencies and 
     the public in defining the purpose and need for a project.
       ``(2) Definition.--Following participation under paragraph 
     (1), the lead agency shall define the project's purpose and 
     need for purposes of any document which the lead agency is 
     responsible for preparing for the project.

     in collaboration with participating agencies at appropriate 
     times during the study process, the methodologies to be used 
     and the level of detail required in the analysis of each 
     alternative for a project.
       ``(4) Preferred alternative.--At the discretion of the lead 
     agency, the preferred alternative for a project, after being 
     identified, may be developed to a higher level of detail than 
     other alternatives in order to facilitate the development of 
     mitigation measures or concurrent compliance with other 
     applicable laws if the lead agency determines that the 
     development of such higher level of detail will not prevent 
     the lead agency from making an impartial decision as to 
     whether to accept another alternative which is being 
     considered in the environmental review process.
       ``(f) Comment Deadlines.--The lead agency shall establish 
     the following deadlines for comment during the environmental 
     review process for a project:
       ``(1) For comments by agencies and the public on a draft 
     environmental impact statement, a period of no more than 60 
     days from the date of public availability of such document, 
     unless--
       ``(A) a different deadline is established by agreement of 
     the lead agency, the project sponsor, and all participating 
     agencies; or
       ``(B) the deadline is extended by the lead agency for good 
     cause.
       ``(2) For all other comment periods established by the lead 
     agency for agency or public comments in the environmental 
     review process, a period of no more than 30 days from 
     availability of the materials on which comment is requested, 
     unless--
       ``(A) a different deadline is established by agreement of 
     the lead agency, the project sponsor, and all participating 
     agencies; or
       ``(B) the deadline is extended by the lead agency for good 
     cause.
       ``(g) Issue Identification and Resolution.--
       ``(1) Cooperation.--The lead agency and the participating 
     agencies shall work cooperatively in accordance with this 
     section to identify and resolve issues that could delay 
     completion of the environmental review process or could 
     result in denial of any approvals required for the project 
     under applicable laws.
       ``(2) Lead agency responsibilities.--The lead agency shall 
     make information available to the participating agencies as 
     early as practicable in the environmental review process 
     regarding the environmental and socioeconomic resources 
     located within the project area and the general locations of 
     the alternatives under consideration. Such information may be 
     based on existing data sources, including geographic 
     information systems mapping.
       ``(3) Participating agency responsibilities.--Based on 
     information received from the lead agency, participating 
     agencies shall identify, as early as practicable, any issues 
     of concern regarding the project's potential environmental or 
     socioeconomic impacts. In this paragraph, issues of concern 
     include any issues that could substantially delay or prevent 
     an agency from granting a permit or other approval that is 
     needed for the project.
       ``(4) Issue resolution.--Whenever issues of concern are 
     identified or at any time upon request of a project sponsor, 
     the lead agency shall promptly convene a meeting with the 
     relevant participating agencies. If a resolution cannot be 
     achieved within 30 days following such a meeting and a 
     determination by the lead agency that all information 
     necessary to resolve the issue has been obtained, the lead 
     agency shall notify the heads of all Federal agencies 
     involved in the meeting and the Committee on Environment and 
     Public Works of the Senate and the Committee on 
     Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of 
     Representatives and shall publish such notification in the 
     Federal Register.
       ``(h) Participation of State Agencies.--For any project 
     eligible for assistance under title 23 or chapter 53, a State 
     may require, under procedures established by State law, that 
     all State agencies that have jurisdiction by State or Federal 
     law over environmental-related issues that may be affected by 
     the project, or that are required to issue any environmental-
     related reviews, analyses, opinions, or determinations on 
     issuing any permits, licenses, or approvals for the project, 
     be subject to the coordinated environmental review process 
     established under this section unless the Secretary 
     determines that a State agency's participation would not be 
     in the public interest. A State participating in the review 
     process must require all State agencies with jurisdiction to 
     be subject to and comply with the review process to the same 
     extent as a Federal agency.
       ``(i) Assistance to Affected State and Federal Agencies.--
       ``(1) In general.--For a project that is subject to the 
     environmental review process established under this section 
     and for which funds are made available to a State under title 
     23 or chapter 53, the Secretary may approve a request by the 
     State to provide funds so made available to affected Federal 
     agencies (including the Department of Transportation), State 
     agencies, and Indian tribes participating in the 
     environmental review process for the project. Such funds may 
     be provided only to support activities that directly and 
     meaningfully contribute to expediting and improving 
     transportation project planning and delivery. Such activities 
     may include dedicated staffing, training of agency personnel, 
     information gathering and mapping, and development of 
     programmatic agreements. The Secretary may also use funds 
     made available under section 204 of title 23 for a project 
     for the purposes specified in this subsection with respect to 
     the environmental review process for the project.
       ``(2) Amounts.--Requests under paragraph (1) may be 
     approved only for the additional amounts that the Secretary 
     determines are necessary for the Federal agencies, State 
     agencies, or Indian tribes participating in the environmental 
     review process to meet the time limits for environmental 
     review.
       ``(3) Condition.--A request under paragraph (1) to expedite 
     time limits for environmental review may be approved only if 
     such time limits are less than the customary time necessary 
     for such review.
       ``(j) Judicial Review and Savings Clause.--
       ``(1) Judicial review.--Except as set forth under 
     subsection (k), nothing in this section shall affect the 
     reviewability of any final Federal agency action in a court 
     of the United States.
       ``(2) Savings clause.--Nothing in this section shall be 
     construed as superseding, amending, or modifying the National 
     Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) or 
     any other Federal environmental statute or affect the 
     responsibility of any Federal officer to comply with or 
     enforce any such statute.
       ``(3) Limitations.--Nothing in this section shall preempt 
     or interfere with--
       ``(A) any practice of seeking, considering, or responding 
     to public comment; or
       ``(B) any power, jurisdiction, responsibility, or authority 
     that a Federal, State, or local government agency, 
     metropolitan planning organization, Indian tribe, or project 
     sponsor has with respect to carrying out a project or any 
     other provisions of law applicable to projects, plans, or 
     programs.
       ``(k) Limitations on Claims.--
       ``(1) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, a claim arising under Federal law seeking judicial 
     review of a permit, license, or approval issued by a Federal 
     agency for a highway or public transportation capital project 
     shall be barred unless it is filed within 90 days after the 
     permit, license, or approval is final pursuant to the law 
     under which the agency action is taken, unless a shorter time 
     is specified in the Federal law pursuant to which judicial 
     review is allowed. Nothing in this subsection shall create a 
     right to judicial review or place any limit on filing a claim 
     that a person has violated the terms of a permit, license, or 
     approval.
       ``(2) New information.--The Secretary shall consider new 
     information received after the close of a comment period if 
     the information satisfies the requirements for a supplemental 
     environmental impact statement under section 771.130 of title 
     23, Code of Federal Regulations. The preparation of a 
     supplemental environmental impact statement when required 
     shall be considered a separate final agency action and the 
     deadline for filing a claim for judicial review

             TITLE VII--HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TRANSPORTATION

     SEC. 7001. AMENDMENT OF TITLE 49, UNITED STATES CODE.

       Except as otherwise expressly provided, whenever in this 
     title an amendment or repeal is expressed in terms of an 
     amendment to, or a repeal of, a section or other provision, 
     the reference shall be considered to be made to a section or 
     other provision of title 49, United States Code.

     SEC. 7002. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds with respect to hazardous 
     materials transportation that--
       (1) approximately 4,000,000,000 tons of regulated hazardous 
     materials are transported each year and approximately 
     1,200,000 movements of hazardous materials occur each day, 
     according to Department of Transportation estimates;
       (2) the movement of hazardous materials in commerce is 
     necessary to maintain economic vitality and meet consumer 
     demands and must be conducted in a safe and efficient manner;
       (3) accidents involving, or unauthorized access to, 
     hazardous materials in transportation may result in a release 
     of such materials and pose a serious threat to public health 
     and safety;
       (4) many States and localities have enacted laws and 
     regulations that vary from Federal laws and regulations 
     pertaining to the transportation of hazardous materials, 
     thereby creating the potential for unreasonable hazards in 
     other jurisdictions and confounding shippers and carriers 
     that attempt to comply with multiple regulatory requirements;
       (5) because of the potential risks to life, property, and 
     the environment posed by unintentional releases of hazardous 
     materials, consistency in laws and regulations governing the 
     transportation of hazardous materials is necessary and 
     desirable;
       (6) in order to achieve greater uniformity and to promote 
     the public health, welfare, and safety at all levels, Federal 
     standards for regulating the transportation of hazardous 
     materials in intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce are 
     necessary and desirable; and
       (7) in order to provide reasonable, adequate, and cost-
     effective protection from the risks posed by the 
     transportation of hazardous materials, a network of well-
     trained State and local emergency response personnel and 
     hazmat employees is essential.
       (b) Purpose.--The text of section 5101 is amended to read 
     as follows: ``The purpose of this chapter is to protect 
     against the risks to life, property, and the environment that 
     are inherent in the transportation of hazardous material in 
     intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce.''.

       ``(8)(A) Transportation control measures that are specified 
     in an implementation plan may be replaced in the 
     implementation plan with substitute transportation control 
     measures if
       ``(i) the substitute measures achieve equivalent or greater 
     emission reductions than the control measures to be replaced, 
     as determined by the Administrator,
       ``(ii) the substitute measures utilize an emissions impact 
     analysis that is consistent with the current methodology used 
     for evaluating replaced control measures in the 
     implementation plan;
       ``(iii) the substitute control measures are implemented not 
     later than the date on which such emission reductions are 
     necessary to achieve the purpose of the implementation plan;
       ``(iv) the substitute control measures were developed with 
     reasonable public notice and the opportunity for comments; 
     and
       ``(v) the metropolitan planning organization finds that 
     adequate funding is included in the transportation 
     improvement program to ensure timely implementation of the 
     substitute control measures.
       ``(B) After the requirements of paragraph (A) are met, a 
     State may adopt the substitute measures in the applicable 
     implementation plan within a reasonable period of time.
       ``(C) The substitution of a transportation control measure 
     in accordance with this paragraph shall not be contingent on 
     the existence of any provision in the applicable 
     implementation plan that expressly permits such substitution.
       ``(D) The substitution of a transportation control measure 
     in accordance with this paragraph shall not require--
       ``(i) a new conformity determination for the transportation 
     plan, or
       ``(ii) a revision of the applicable implementation plan.
       ``(E) A control measure that is being replaced by a 
     substitute control measure under this paragraph shall remain 
     in effect until the substitute control measure is adopted.
       ``(F) Adoption of a substitute control measure shall 
     constitute rescission of the previously applicable control 
     measure.

     Transportation control measures may be added to an 
     implementation plan subject to subparagraphs (B), (C), and 
     (D), on the same basis as if such measures were substitute 
     transportation control measures if such measures do not 
     increase emissions for which limitations have been 
     established in an implementation plan, and such measures meet 
     the requirements of clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v) of 
     subparagraph (A).''.
       (e) Lapse of Conformity.--Subsection (c) of section 176 of

     under section 5213(g) of title 49 of the United States Code 
     or a transportation improvement program under section 5213(h) 
     of title 49 of the United States Code is not made by the 
     applicable deadline and such failure is not corrected by 
     additional measures to either reduce motor vehicle emissions 
     sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of 
     this subsection within 12 months after such deadline or other 
     measures sufficient to correct such failures, the 
     transportation plan shall lapse.
       ``(10) Lapse.--The term `lapse' means that the conformity 
     determination for a transportation plan or transportation 
     improvement program has expired, and thus there is no 
     currently conforming transportation plan or transportation 
     improvement program.''.

     SEC. 5103. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds the following:
       (1) Research and development are critical to developing and 
     maintaining a transportation system that meets the goals of 
     safety, mobility, economic vitality, efficiency, equity, and 
     environmental protection.
       (2) Federally sponsored surface transportation research and 
     development has produced many successes. The development of 
     rumble strips has increased safety; research on materials has 
     increased the lifespan of pavements, saving money and 
     reducing the disruption caused by construction; and 
     Geographic Information Systems have improved the management 
     and efficiency of transit fleets.
       (3) Despite these important successes, the Federal surface 
     transportation research and development investment represents 
     less than one percent of overall government spending on 
     surface transportation.
       (4) While Congress increased funding for overall 
     transportation programs by about 40 percent in the 
     Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, funding for 
     transportation research and development remained relatively 
     flat.
       (5) The Federal investment in research and development 
     should be balanced between short-term applied and long-term 
     fundamental research and development. The investment should 
     also cover a wide range of research areas, including research 
     on materials and construction, research on operations, 
     research on transportation trends and human factors, and 
     research addressing the institutional barriers to deployment 
     of new technologies.
       (6) Therefore, Congress finds that it is in the United 
     States interest to increase the Federal investment in 
     transportation research and development, and to conduct 
     research in critical research gaps, in order to ensure that 
     the transportation system meets the goals of safety, 
     mobility, economic vitality, efficiency, equity, and 
     environmental protection.

     following:
       ``(5) Stakeholder input.--Federal surface transportation 
     research and development activities shall address the needs 
     of stakeholders. Stakeholders include States, metropolitan 
     planning organizations, local governments, the private 
     sector, researchers, research sponsors, and other affected 
     parties, including public interest groups.
       ``(6) Competition and peer review.--Except as otherwise 
     provided in this Act, the Secretary shall award all grants, 
     contracts, and cooperative agreements for research and 
     development under this Act based on open competition and peer 
     review of proposals.
       ``(7) Performance review and evaluation.--To the maximum 
     extent practicable, all surface transportation research and 
     development projects shall include a component of performance 
     measurement and evaluation. Performance measures shall be 
     established during the proposal stage of a research and 
     development project and shall, to the maximum extent 
     possible, be outcome-based. All evaluations shall be made 
     readily available to the public.''.

control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Alaska (Mr. Young).
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Chairman, the amendment under consideration would make 
improvements to H.R. 3550 as well as to make some technical 
corrections. More specifically, it would require more oversight of the 
use of Federal funds for transportation projects.
  It allows funds to be used for additional planning activities under a 
pilot program. It would allow new activities under the Federal lands 
highway program to improve how projects are developed in conjunction 
with wildlife along the highways.
  It would allow the Secretary to let States assume the responsibility 
of the Secretary for transportation enhancements, recreational trails 
and ITS projects.
  It would require the Secretary to conduct a rulemaking to ensure that 
States are repairing or replacing damaged features on the National 
Highway System with highway features that have been tested, evaluated, 
and found to be acceptable under certain guidelines.
  It makes a technical change to ensure that only new interstate 
facilities are eligible under the interstate system for construction of 
toll pilot programs.
  It designates new highways for high-priority corridors on the 
National Highway System. It would require the Secretary to conduct a 
pavement-marking system evaluation study to improve safety on the 
highways.
  It creates a national clearinghouse for the purpose of assembling and 
disassembling information relating to improvement of roadway work-zone 
safety.
  It makes procedural improvements to the planning requirements for 
metropolitan areas in States regarding the Clean Air Act.
  It directs the Secretary to create a model statute for the States to 
use when developing drunk-driving detection, prevention, and 
enforcement programs.
  The budget title sets discretionary spending limits on outlays for 
the highway and mass transit budget categories and for new budget 
authority for the mass transit category and continues the budgetary 
fire walls for highway and transit programs.
  It would improve the calculation of revenue-aligned budget authority, 
or RABA, to provide more accurate information of revenue to the Highway 
Trust Fund.
  Finally, it sets the annual obligation limitations for the highway 
and transit programs for the fiscal years 2004 to 2009.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Chairman, the gentleman from Alaska has adequately explained the 
manager's amendment. It needs no further elaboration, and I support the 
amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Is there any Member opposed to the 
amendment?

     and inserting ``transmit to Congress a report, and also make 
     such report available to the public in a user-friendly format 
     via the Internet,''.

  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 593, the 
gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Eddie Bernice Johnson) and a Member opposed 
each will control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Eddie Bernice 
Johnson).
  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself as 
much time as I might consume.
  Mr. Chairman, this amendment would dramatically improve an existing 
law provision, section 104(j), that was enacted as part of TEA 21.
  Currently, the U.S. Department of Transportation produces an annual 
report to Congress on the use of Federal transportation funds by 
program, by type of investment, and by location within the States. My 
amendment would simply require that this information be provided to the 
public as well as via the Internet.
  This is a nonpartisan amendment. It is broadly supported by a wide 
array of program partners, county officials, cities, mayors, 
metropolitan planning organizations, planners, architects and others.
  Consider the current state of practice. Today, if you search the U.S. 
DOT's Web site for a section 104(j) report, you get ``no documents 
match.''
  Now, the first question that will be asked is: Will this impose a 
burden on my State? No, absolutely not. This amendment would not impose 
any additional burden on the States.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, will the gentlewoman yield?
  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. I yield to the gentleman from 
Minnesota.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, we have reviewed the gentlewoman's 
amendment, we have been discussing it for quite some time in committee. 
This will make it possible to put that information that is already 
required to be reported on the Internet, and we have agreed on our side 
to accept the amendment.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, will the gentlewoman yield?
  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. I yield to the gentleman from 
Alaska.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. First, Mr. Chairman, let me congratulate the 
gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Eddie Bernice Johnson) for this amendment, 
and more than that for being able to communicate with the ranking 
member and myself on your wishes in your district, and being so kind to 
me when I was in your district this last year. I do thank you for that.
  I have reviewed this amendment with the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. 
Oberstar), and we are willing to accept the amendment.
  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Chairman, reclaiming my time, 
I want to thank the chairman and the ranking member for their 
cooperation.
  Mr. Chairman, I might add that this is not a heavy burden on the FHWA 
or U.S. DOT bureaucracy. This information is already collected, 
processed, and provided for the use of State Departments of 
Transportation, in a use-friendly format for those users. This 
amendment simply requires that the same information already being 
processed be provided to the taxpayers and their representatives.
  Why ``user-friendly''? Lack of ease of Congressional oversight on 
this report led to a $5 billion discrepancy between Table 1 and Table 
4(e) in this report in fiscal year 2000.
  Because it is not electronically available as a manipulatable table, 
any summation that is not presented in the table must be done by hand, 
which is very difficult.
  So, Federal Highway and the public would have a better product as a 
result of this amendment and the improved access to this information 
would improve the accuracy of the reporting. It is my belief that 
better reporting will lend much greater confidence to us as lawmakers 
as we fight to increase future spending through FHWA.
  Federal funds for public transportation have long operated under much 
more stringent reporting measures.
  My amendment is a simple change that would provide our constituents 
with some information about how their transportation taxes are being 
invested. They deserve to know if their tax dollars are being invested 
back into their community, or if the State is spending them elsewhere, 
and better understand how and where these resources are being invested 
on their behalf.
  After all, we are talking about how more than $200 billion in the 
taxpayers' money will be spent over the next 6 years.
  By adopting my amendment, this Congress can provide some very basic 
transparency and accountability with Americans' tax dollars in the 
Federal surface transportation program.
  The time has come for FHWA to deliver us and the public a report that 
is more than a small stack of computer runs that can only be understood 
by a handful of financial experts at Federal Highway and U.S. DOT.
  Let me close by simply urging my colleagues to accept this modest 
improvement to current law. It is one of the small things we can do to 
provide for more transparency and accountability to this process.
  Taxpayers pay for this bill, and they deserve to understand more 
about how their tax dollars are spent on transportation infrastructure.
  Mr. Chairman, I ask for all of my colleagues to join me in supporting 
this simple amendment.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Is there any Member in opposition to the 
amendment?
  If not, the question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman 
from Texas (Ms. Eddie Bernice Johnson).
  The amendment was agreed to.

  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore (Mr. Simpson). It is now in order to 
consider amendment No. 3 printed in House Report 108-456.


                  Amendment No. 3 Offered by Mr. Flake

  Mr. FLAKE. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 3 offered by Mr. Flake:
       At the end of section 1103, add the following:
       (e) Subtraction of Earmarks From Surface Transportation 
     Program Funding.--
       (1) In general.--Section 104(b)(3) of title 23, United 
     States Code, is amended--
       (A) in subparagraph (B) by striking ``subparagraph (A)'' 
     and inserting ``subparagraphs (A) and (C)''; and
       (B) by adding at the end the following:
       ``(C) Subtraction of earmarks.----
       ``(i) In general.--Amounts to be apportioned to a State 
     under subparagraph (A) for each of fiscal years 2004 through 
     2009 shall be reduced by the aggregate amount made available 
     to the State (and recipients in the State) out of the Highway 
     Trust Fund for that fiscal year for projects described in 
     sections 1702, 3037, and 3038 of the Transportation Equity 
     Act: A Legacy for Users.
       ``(ii) Effect on minimum guarantee.--In determining a 
     State's percentage return from the Highway Trust Fund (other 
     than the Mass Transit Account) for purposes of section 105 
     for a fiscal year, the Secretary shall treat amounts 
     subtracted under clause (i) for that fiscal year as amounts 
     apportioned to the State for the surface transportation 
     program for that fiscal year.
       ``(iii) Reapportionment.--Amounts subtracted from a State 
     for a fiscal year under this subparagraph shall be 
     reapportioned among the States under the formula in 
     subparagraph (A).''.

  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 593, the 
gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Flake) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Flake).
  Mr. FLAKE. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Chairman, growing up in a family of 11 kids, 10 brothers and 
sisters, I learned the economic principle of scarcity pretty early. We 
always had enough food, meat and potatoes, to go around but there was 
rarely enough dessert. Every Sunday, no matter how large the family 
got, we had one half gallon of ice cream to split amongst us. One 
particular Sunday, as the ice cream was being scooped by one brother, 
we always had at least two monitors to make sure each portion was 
equal, I noticed that my brother made the scoops, the monitors were 
distracted for a minute, and he carefully slid the half gallon that was 
supposed to be empty under the kitchen sink. I rushed over there and 
found that he had left about a quarter of the carton full and he was 
going to retrieve it later.
  I have discovered that things like that happen all the time around 
here in Congress, in one area in particular, the highway bill, where, 
instead of leaving a portion at the bottom not to be distributed 
equally, it is taken right off

[[Page H1985]]

the top. The process is called earmarking. It is a process that is 
getting worse and worse and worse around here.
  In 1982, there were a total of 10 earmarks in the highway 
authorization bill. In 1987, President Reagan vetoed the bill because 
there were 152 earmarks, something he thought was way out of line. Six 
years later, there were 500 earmarks in the bill; six years later, 
1,800; and now we are up to, I think, just north of 3,000 earmarks in 
the bill and climbing. What that means is that portions are taken off 
the top and not distributed to the other States, like Arizona, like 
Georgia, like Florida, like Texas, like California. For years, we have 
been shorted from what we ought to receive in the formula.
  Let me just give an example. I should say that this is just in the 
authorization process. We have not even gotten to appropriations this 
year. There will likely be hundreds, perhaps more than a thousand more 
transportation earmarks in the appropriation bill. Last year, for 
example, in the omnibus bill that was passed in December, there were 
over 600 earmarks relating to transportation, a total of $1.4 billion. 
That is $1.4 billion that comes off the top, that is not distributed by 
formula to the States, one of those States being Arizona. Mr. Chairman, 
we cannot continue to do business like this. We cannot.
  My amendment is simple. It simply says that the amount the States 
received in high-priority programs would be subtracted from their 
formula totals of the surface transportation program. This prevents the 
minimum guarantee program from backfilling what comes out. What it does 
essentially is says that if you want an earmark, that is fine, but that 
earmark should come out of your own State's formula, not everyone 
else's.
  I am not saying at all that nobody ought to get earmarks. A lot of 
people complain legitimately that some governors or some State 
officials do not fund what they ought to fund, that they ignore 
Republican districts, they ignore Democrat districts and do not spread 
the money equally around.
  This is not saying that Members cannot get earmarks. All it is saying 
is that you ought to discuss that among your own delegation from your 
State and decide, do we want to put money here or there or should we 
give the State more flexibility to spend money on its priorities. That, 
in essence, is the amendment.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Who claims the time in opposition?
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  The thrust of this amendment is to adversely affect States, and 
Members in States, who put priority on transit projects, bus-related 
projects by deducting dollar for dollar from their apportionments the 
funds that Members have decided their State needs, their district 
needs, that is in the interest of their constituents and deducting that 
from the core surface transportation program apportionment to the 
individual State, and then it would redistribute those dollars 
elsewhere in the country. That is totally contrary to the basic 
principle of Member high-priority projects.
  As former Chairman Bud Shuster used to say, Members of Congress are 
not potted plants. We know our districts. We know what the needs are. 
Chairman Young has reiterated that principle, that Members understand 
the needs of their State, and when they are bypassed, when the State 
DOT does not address the needs in their districts, then we give them an 
opportunity once every 6 years to do that in the transportation bill, 
to designate projects according to the needs that Members see best.
  The pending amendment would undermine that principle, would 
redistribute dollars, would take money away from some States, give it 
to others, punish some because they think transit is more important 
than a highway project in their State, Member projects.
  In addition to that, a Member that has designated a project for 
interstate maintenance, for congestion mitigation and air quality 
improvement, for a bridge project, for a national highway system, will 
be adversely affected by this amendment. Members that have highway 
priorities as well will find their project simply thrown to the wind 
and redistributed around the country. That is not adhering to the 
principle that we have established. It may be very well intentioned, 
but its effect is highly adverse, undermines the principle that Members 
of Congress know their districts, are responding to the needs of their 
constituents, are recommending investments and, in many cases, giving 
States flexibility as we do in Minnesota. If they are not ready to move 
ahead with a project I have designated, they can use that dollar amount 
for a project elsewhere in the State. Its effect is severely adverse.
  I will be happy to yield to the gentleman from Alaska.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, I also rise in opposition.
  I understand what the gentleman from Arizona is trying to do, and I 
want to compliment the gentleman. He is one of the few people in this 
body who did not ask me for any earmarks. I do thank him for that. I 
understand what he is trying to say.
  But I have to remind everybody about earmarks in this legislation. It 
is, in fact, a request from Members, and it is the one time they might 
have an opportunity to represent their district. That is very true. I 
have some Members in this body that get no money out of DOT in their 
district because they are sparsely populated and all the money goes to 
the large urban areas. This is one time there is a fairness doctrine. 
Every nickel that is earmarked in this bill goes to a form of 
transportation. No dollars go outside that for any other purpose, 
regardless of what you might read. It goes to a form of transportation.
  I know what the gentleman is trying to do. He is right about what the 
appropriators have done in the past and will probably continue to do. 
This is an amendment that has good thought but does not have great 
merit. Because I do think it, in fact, will impede those States that 
have had projects of national significance or projects of high 
priority. They will be penalized from getting those projects 
accomplished.
  I thank the gentleman for his presentation. I understand what the 
gentleman from Arizona is trying to do, but I do believe that the 
amendment is inappropriate at this time.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. FLAKE. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Indiana (Mr. Pence).
  (Mr. PENCE asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. PENCE. I thank the gentleman for yielding me this time.
  Mr. Chairman, with great respect to the chairman and the ranking 
member of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, I rise in 
strong support of the Flake fair amendment because it is simply that. 
It is only fair that we would deduct, as the gentleman from Arizona 
suggests, the amount that has been earmarked specifically by Members of 
those States from the formula for distributing assets under the 
transportation bill rather than excluding them and then allowing the 
formula to only be placed on those which have not been designated as 
being of particular national significance. It seems to me the money is 
spent in those States, it is spent on infrastructure projects that the 
Members of those States can point to with pride and appreciation 
because of their significance, but it ought not to work a detriment, as 
it so distinctly does to States like Indiana, that I have the privilege 
of serving, States like Arizona and so many States in the Union that 
have to wait until after the special projects to divide up what is 
left.
  I support the Flake fair amendment strongly.
  Mr. Chairman, I want to commend the gentleman from Arizona for his 
hard work on this fair and sensible amendment.
  The Flake amendment would solve inequities in TEA-LU by ensuring that 
the apportion formula can function as intended. Currently, earmarks 
secured by each member stand apart from the Minimum Guarantee formula. 
This drastically changes the actual rate of return, as some states 
perform far worse in this process, losing hundreds of millions of 
dollars.
  Mr. Chairman, this is unacceptable. If we are truly concerned about, 
and fighting for, equity, why do we not subtract these earmarks

[[Page H1986]]

from the formula totals in the Surface Transportation Program, thus 
ensuring equity? Why create an environment in which states must fight 
one another for extra projects, when instead the formula could be 
allowed to function as designed?
  Mr. Chairman, we cannot allow some of our states to experience a 
reduction in core programs. The great highway infrastructure of each 
state serves more than just the citizens in that state. In fact, my 
home state of Indiana is affectionately known as the Crossroads of 
America for that very reason. Hoosier Highways serve the whole country 
through interstate commerce, personal and business travel, and military 
mobility. For this reason, I am in strong support of Mr. Flake's 
amendment, subtracting the amount of earmarks from state formula 
totals, and furthering equity between all states.
  I urge my colleagues to support the Flake amendment.
  Mr. FLAKE. Mr. Chairman, who has the right to close?
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The gentleman from Minnesota has the right 
to close.
  Mr. FLAKE. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  I respect the chairman and the ranking member. I would simply say 
that we are not potted plants here; and as a Member who is not a potted 
plant, I know when my State is not being dealt with fairly. My State, 
the State of Florida, the State of Texas, the State of California, many 
other donor States are not being dealt with fairly.
  I am not saying that no Member should be able to earmark, and so this 
notion that Members cannot designate projects is not what I am saying. 
I am simply saying, if you do, then take that out of your own State's 
formula. Do not take it from other States. If you have the right to 
earmark, you should not have the right to earmark funds for Arizona to 
be spent elsewhere.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  I just want to point out to the gentleman from Indiana, whom I 
greatly respect, that the total for Indiana under TEA LU would be $4.96 
billion, a substantial increase of funding over TEA 21.
  The point again is that we have distributed these dollars according 
to a percentage of the total funding available under TEA LU to give 
Members the authority to designate projects to address transportation 
needs that they see by their best lights from their constituents in 
their districts and not be bypassed and run over by State DOTs. It has 
worked in TEA 21, and it is going to work here.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The question is on the amendment offered by 
the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Flake).
  The question was taken; and the Chairman pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.
  Mr. FLAKE. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. 
Flake) will be postponed.
  It is now in order to consider amendment No. 4 printed in House 
Report 108-456.


          Amendment No. 4 Offered by Ms. Jackson-Lee of Texas

  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
  The Chairman pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 4 offered by Ms. Jackson-Lee of Texas:
       After section 1105 of the bill, insert the following (and 
     redesignate subsequent sections of the bill, and conform the 
     table of contents of the bill, accordingly):

     SEC. 1106. FEDERAL SHARE PAYABLE.

       Section 120(j)(1) of title 23, United States Code, is 
     amended by striking the last sentence and inserting the 
     following: ``If such public, quasi-public, or private agency 
     has built, improved, or maintained such facilities using 
     Federal funds, the credit under this paragraph shall be 
     reduced by a percentage equal to the percentage of the total 
     cost of such activities that was derived from Federal funds. 
     In the preceding sentence, the term `Federal funds' does not 
     include loans of Federal funds or other financial assistance 
     that must be repaid to the Government.''.

  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 593, the 
gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson-Lee) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson-Lee).
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  Let me, first of all, again thank the chairman and ranking member for 
this opportunity to rebuild America's infrastructure and to create 
jobs. I again ask the President to join us in that effort, as opposed 
to utilizing a veto on what is a vital and necessary effort. Might I 
also say that I support the complete funding, the original funding, 
that was planned for this legislation.
  My amendment, Mr. Chairman, will not cost the Federal Government a 
single dollar. Support for this amendment does not equate to promotion 
or support for toll roads per se. But what it does is it provides 
flexibility. I would ask my colleagues to support it.
  The amendment would simply change the calculation of toll credits by 
basing them on the proportion of non-Federal investment in toll 
projects. In addition, it would provide the flexibility necessary for 
local communities. Support of this amendment does not equate to 
promotion or support of toll roads, as I indicated. However, the 
amendment does recognize that State legislatures that have chosen to 
pursue tolling should be able to have access to toll credits to invest 
in transportation options such as transit, bicycles, rail and 
pedestrian infrastructure.
  I am gratified to say that we have the support of many organizations 
across the Nation, including Florida and States of that size, including 
Just Transportation Alliances, a project of Texas Citizen Fund.
  Mr. Chairman, amendment No. 46 would simply change the calculation of 
toll credits by basing them on the proportion of non-federal investment 
in toll projects.
  Support of this amendment does not equate to promotion or support of 
toll roads per se. However, the amendment does recognize that State 
Legislatures that have chosen to pursue tolling should be able to have 
access to toll credits to invest in transportation options such as 
transit, bicycles, rail, and pedestrian infrastructure.
  Toll credits create flexibility in the federal aid program. Similar 
to the Programmatic Match provisions of STP, they will allow the 
expenditure of non-federal funds on one project to serve as the match 
on another project through toll credits. The benefit of having toll 
credits is to enable a project, highways or transit, to exchange a toll 
credit for non-federal share of a project's cost. This amendment does 
not provide any additional money--it simply uses up more of the federal 
funds in the State's apportionment, but it does provide greater 
financial flexibility in determining the best possible mix of funding 
sources for projects. Without this flexibility, State DOT's will have a 
significantly diminished reservoir of toll credits from which to draw 
and little choice but to focus on meeting the growing demands for road 
maintenance.
  Support of this amendment does not mean that you promote or support 
toll roads per se. However, support of this amendment does recognize 
that State Legislatures that have chosen to pursue tolling should be 
able to have access to toll credits to invest in transportation 
options, such as transit, bicycles, rail, and pedestrian 
infrastructure, as well as road maintenance.
  To reiterate, this amendment does not provide any additional money. 
It simply provides greater financial flexibility by allowing the use of 
federal funds in a State's apportionment. Without this flexibility, 
State DOT's will have a significantly diminished number of toll credits 
and will likely only focus on the growing demands for road maintenance.
  My colleagues, if your State does tolling, you will benefit from this 
amendment. In my State, I have broad support from the Texas Department 
of Transportation, MPOs, local and State officials, and transit 
organizations.
  Mr. Chairman, I would hope that you and Mr. Oberstar would work with 
me to see what can be developed between now and House floor action to 
give States that have decided to toll more flexibility with toll 
credits so that they can invest in all transportation options.
  I have a constituent who is an independent contractor who hauls U.S. 
mail from Houston throughout the country. His main route takes him 
through the east coast, and he complains that the tolls are extremely 
burdensome. The increased toll prices are a testament of the shift from 
the States to the drivers--the customers, of the cost to invest in much 
needed transportation options such as transit enhancement projects, 
bicycle, rail, and pedestrian infrastructure, as well as road 
maintenance.
  This constituent cited that the Delaware Watergap bridge is about \2/
10\ of a mile in length, yet its tolls mount up to $13.75 each

[[Page H1987]]

way. The Pennsylvania Turnpike, according to his account, cost him 
$150.75 in tolls since it has been increased from $98. This illustrates 
how the consumer, the drivers, are shouldering the burden of the 
States' need to raise funds that could be easily offset through toll 
credits.
  For the reasons stated above, Mr. Chairman, I ask my colleagues to 
support the Jackson-Lee amendment No. 46 as made in order by the 
Committee on Rules. Please vote for the consumer. Vote for transit 
safety. Vote for reasonable toll costs. This is a bipartisan amendment 
that affects most toll-States.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Who claims time in opposition to the 
amendment?
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, I reluctantly rise in opposition 
to the amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The gentleman from Alaska is recognized for 
5 minutes.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, I yield such time as he may 
consume to the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Oberstar).
  Mr. OBERSTAR. I thank the gentleman for yielding me this time.
  I respect the gentlewoman's good intention. As we heard on a previous 
amendment, there was a good intention but an unfortunate result, and 
there would be a similar unfortunate result here. I have never been 
supportive of toll roads. Current law allows toll credits only when 
that toll road has been built without Federal aid. This amendment would 
extend an already, in my view, unacceptable principle further. It would 
extend to roads built with Federal assistance the credit that then 
could be applied to other projects. I just think that that is not a 
good policy direction.
  I do not think we ought to be encouraging more toll road 
developments. It is not going to expand the universe of roads. Toll 
roads are just kind of a one-time hit. We are establishing in this 
legislation a national program of continuing existence with the Highway 
Trust Fund.

                              {time}  1445

  The only problem with it is we are not putting enough money into it 
for the next 6 years, and we will do that after the next year after we 
get through this election. So we really ought not to be moving in this 
direction, and I assume the chairman agrees with me on this.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  I will say that to the gentleman I do think the amendment has some 
merit; but as the gentleman mentioned, now with the shortage of 
dollars, et cetera, I would suggest that we continue to work with the 
gentlewoman as we go through this process and see if we cannot reach a 
solution to it. And I think that can be achieved. But at this time I 
would oppose the amendment.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the 
distinguished gentleman from Texas (Mr. Burgess).
  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentlewoman from Texas for 
yielding me this time.
  Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of the Jackson-Lee amendment 
that would simply change the calculation of toll credits by basing them 
on the proportion of non-Federal investment in toll projects made by 
respective States. The amendment recognizes that if a State legislature 
has chosen to pursue tolling, then it should be able to have access to 
toll credits to invest in another transportation options such as 
transit, rail, pedestrian or cycle paths.
  My State's legislature, the Texas State legislature, passed a bill 
that created a revolution in the way Texas funds transportation 
projects. I believe that States should be granted more authority to 
deliver corridors faster, and in exchange we will give them enhanced 
accountability. Texas is a leader in bringing private enterprise and 
local control back into the transportation funding equation. I believe 
this amendment would allow my State to continue that option.
  The amendment concerning toll credits helps create the needed 
flexibility in the Federal-aid program. The amendment will allow the 
expenditure of non-Federal funds as to one project to serve as the 
local match on another project in the form of toll credits. The benefit 
of having toll credits is to enable a highway or transit project to 
exchange a toll credit for the non-Federal share of the project's cost 
made by that State. The Jackson-Lee amendment will not cost the Federal 
Government a single dollar. Currently, any highway or transit project 
that uses even one dollar of Federal funding is ineligible for toll 
credits even though the greatest majority of the funding may be non-
Federal. The Jackson-Lee amendment will apply toll credits only to the 
non-Federal funding portion of any transit or highway project.
  Costs of heavy congestion, pollution, and, in fact, safety and the 
loss of lives are too great in all States. We must do more to respond 
to our exploding transportation needs. Budgets are getting increasingly 
tighter. We need to find different ways to get resources necessary to 
respond to those transportation needs.
  Mr. Chairman, I believe it is our responsibility to get in the hands 
of the President a bill that he can sign, and I believe this helps 
facilitate that process.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the 
distinguished gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Eddie Bernice Johnson), a 
senior member of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Chairman, I know that this is 
an amendment that the State of Texas would like to have. I am happy to 
support my friend from Texas. In fact, I offered the same amendment in 
committee.
  The amendment would change the calculation of toll credits by basing 
them on the proportion of non-Federal investment in toll projects. 
Support of this amendment does not mean that we promote or support toll 
roads per se, but supporting this amendment does recognize that State 
legislators that have chosen to pursue tolling should be able to have 
access to toll credits to invest in transportation options such as 
transit, bicycle, rail, and pedestrian infrastructure as well as road 
maintenance.
  Toll credits create flexibility in the Federal-aid programs. Similar 
to the Programmatic Match provisions of the Surface Transportation 
Program, toll credits allow the expenditure of non-Federal funds on one 
project to serve as the match on another project. The benefit of having 
toll credits is to enable either a highway or a transit project to 
exchange a toll credit for non-Federal share of a project's cost.
  Mr. Chairman, I include my statement for the Record.
  Mr. Chairman, I'm happy to support my friend from Texas' amendment. 
In fact I offered this same amendment in Committee. The amendment would 
change the calculation of toll credits by basing them on the proportion 
of non-federal investment in toll projects.
  Support of this amendment does not mean that you promote or support 
toll roads per se. But supporting this amendment does recognize that 
State Legislatures that have chosen to pursue tolling should be able to 
have access to toll credits to invest in transportation options, such 
as transit, bicycles, rail, and pedestrian infrastructure, as well as 
road maintenance.
  Toll credits create flexibility in the federal aid program. Similar 
to the Programmatic Match provisions of the Surface Transportation 
Program, toll credits allow the expenditure of non-federal funds on one 
project to serve as the match on another project. The benefit of having 
toll credits is to enable either a highway or transit project to 
exchange a toll credit for non-federal share of a project's cost.
  This amendment does not provide any additional money. It simply 
provides greater financial flexibility by allowing the use of federal 
funds in a state's apportionment. Without this flexibility, State DOT's 
will have a significantly diminished number of toll credits and will 
likely only focus on the growing demands for road maintenance.
  My fellow members, if your state does tolling, you will benefit from 
this amendment. In my state, I have broad support from the Texas 
Department of Transportation, MPOs, local and state officials, and 
transit organizations.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge you to support this amendment so that we can 
give States that have decided to toll more flexibility with toll 
credits so that they can invest in all transportation options.
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of 
my time.

[[Page H1988]]

  Let me thank the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Eddie Bernice Johnson) 
for her leadership on the issue. She offered this in committee. Let me 
again say to the ranking member and the chairman, this is not a 
promotion of toll roads. Toll credits are not additional money. They 
are what is commonly referred to as ``soft match.'' We simply want the 
flexibility to allow States to be able to use these dollars for bicycle 
trails, pedestrian walks, rail, other transit projects. We believe this 
is a real commitment to transportation needs in America. We support 
this legislation. We ask our colleagues to support us to give wider 
flexibility to the many States who will benefit from having the option 
of using toll credits, no more Federal money, more flexibility, and 
more opportunity to serve the people of the United States of America.
  Argument: If the toll revenues were actually used for the other 
projects, states wouldn't have an issue.
  Response: States may earn toll credits under section 120(j) only when 
they spend ``toll revenue'' on capital expenditures on toll projects 
serving interstate traffic, and only in years the state meets a 
Maintenance of Effort test. The requirement that the ``toll revenues'' 
be spent on capital expenditures would also seem to address your 
concerns regarding section 129(a) of title 23.
  The restrictive provisions of section 129(a) of title 23 are really 
nothing that wouldn't already be in the Indenture of Trust for the 
bonds issued to build the toll facility from FHWA's Innovative Finance: 
``The credit the state can earn for any Federal fiscal year is 
determined by the amount of toll revenue used by toll authorities for 
capital expenditures to build or improve public highway facilities that 
serve interstate travel. To qualify for the credit, the state's total 
non-Federal highway and transit transportation capital expenditures 
must equal or exceed the average of prior years. This is called the 
maintenance of effort (MOE) calculation. The MOE test is required at 
the time the credit amount is established. Expenditures for routine 
maintenance--e.g., snow removal, mowing--debt service, or costs of 
collecting tolls cannot be included.''
  Toll credits create flexibility in the federal aid program. Similar 
to the Programmatic Match provisions of Surface Transportation Program, 
it allows the expenditure of non-federal funds on one project to serve 
as the match on another project through toll credits.
  The idea is to give states as much flexibility as possible to allow 
them to address as many transportation needs as possible with the 
limited financial resources available to them. The traveling public in 
not overly concerned if the funds spent on a project are federal or 
state, only that the transportation infrastructure is being improved so 
they can get where they're going faster and safer. Keep in mind that 
the federal funds, are in fact paid by citizens of every state and sent 
to DC and then returned to their states--and in Texas' case, we receive 
less than what we originally sent.
  In today's environment there are not many toll road projects that can 
be financed 100 percent without some form of federal assistance, 
especially in states without mature toll systems where exess revenue 
from the established toll roads could be used to expand the system.
  By not discouraging the use of federal assistance on toll roads, the 
amendment might actually allow for more projects to be built sooner--
states can finance roads through a mix of toll road bonds and federal 
assistance, when they would not be financially viable as a 100 percent 
bond financed project. Then once the toll revenues are expended they 
can be used as match for federal funds on other projects. We believe 
the policy of federal/state transportation programs should be to build 
as many transportation projects as soon as possible to address the 
mobility issues.
  The whole idea of required match seems to again ignore the fact that 
it is the citizens of the states who originally pay the tax and as in 
the case of Texas only receive a portion back. Average Rate of Return 
for Texas is 87 cents for each dollar sent in federal gas tax by Texans 
to the Federal Highway Trust Funds. Texas is one of the largest donor 
states.


                         what is a toll credit?

  USDOT allows the States to accumulate credits to be applied to the 
non-Federal share of certain highway and transit projects. The credits 
are based on toll revenues used to build, improve, or maintain certain 
highways, bridges, or tunnels.
  If a toll road is built and no federal money is involved, then the 
State D.O.T. can be given credit for the amount of the road to use as a 
federal match. Toll credits are not additional money. They are what is 
commonly referred to as a ``soft match.'' The state can utilize toll 
credits to match federal funds in place of their state match. By using 
toll credits to substitute for the required non-federal match on a 
Federal-aid project, federal funding can be effectively increased to 
100 percent. State and local funds notmally used for matching may then 
be directed to other transportation projects.


                                examples

  North Texas Turnpike Authority builds a $100 million toll road in 
Dallas with no federal money whatsoever in it.
  USDOT would give TxDOT $100 million in toll credits. TxDOT can use 
$100 million as matching funds for other projects.
  TxDOT wants to build a road at a cost of $100 million. A federal road 
is usually an 80-20 match. 80 percent of the money is federal; 20 
percent is state.
  Instead of Texas gas tax money being used for the 20 percent match 
($20 million), all $100 million comes from the federal government for 
the road.
  You now have $80 million left in toll credits ($100 million-$20 
million for the new road = $80 million) that you can apply to another 
project, including transit projects.
  The toll credits can be used to draw down federal dollars for 
transit. That is new money in a more real sense of the term because it 
can help a county (for instance) with its local match. It can actually 
be leveraged to bring in new non-roadway projects.


                              the problem

  The project can have no federal money in it. For example, SH 130 will 
not qualify because federal funds have been used.
  Texas is embarking on a program to build more toll roads. We believe 
that a better calculation would be prorated. If the state funded 20 
percent of the toll roads' cost, then the state should receive that 20 
percent in toll credits.


                              the solution

  Texas would like to see the current statutory provisions for 
accumulating and calculating toll credits liberalized to ensure that we 
are getting the most credit that we can as the state begins developing 
more toll projects in the next reauthorization bill. The current 
statutory provisions only give us toll credits for 100% non-federally 
funded toll projects.
  The reality is that we will have a mixture of funding sources for our 
projects, including federal funds in nearly every project we build. We 
believe that we should be allowed to receive toll credits for the 
portion of non-federal funds spent on toll projects. For example, if 
80% of the toll project cost is non-federal, then we should receive 
toll credits for 80% of the project cost. Currently, in this example, 
we would get no toll credits for this investment.


                          legislative language

  The drafted amendment would modify the method by which toll credits 
are calculated. The amendment would change the calculation to make the 
credits based on the proportion of non-federal investment in toll 
projects.
  TX DOT thinks that this language will provide additional flexibility 
in our project financing program. the benefit of having toll credits is 
to enable a project (highways or transit) to exchange a toll credit for 
non-federal share of a project's cost.
  For example, a project usually requiring a 20% non-federal match 
could instead use toll credits and increase the federal share to 100% 
of the project cost. While this does not provide additional money (it 
simply uses up more of the federal funds in the state's apportionment), 
it does provide greater financial flexibility in determining the best 
possible mix of funding sources for our projects. The benefits of 
having toll credits available may be even greater for transit projects, 
which typically end up with a 50%/50% federal/state match.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my 
time.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore (Mr. Simpson). The question is on the 
amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson-Lee).
  The question was taken; and the Chairman pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.
  Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. 
Jackson-Lee) will be postponed.
  It is now in order to consider amendment No. 5 printed in House 
Report 108-456.


                 Amendment No. 5 Offered by Mr. Shadegg

  Mr. SHADEGG. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 5 offered by Mr. Shadegg:
       At the end of subtitle A of title I, add the following (and 
     conform the table of contents of the bill accordingly):

     SEC. 1125. ADDITION OF PARTICULATE MATTER AREAS TO CMAQ.

        Section 104(b)(2) of title 23, United States Code, is 
     amended--

  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 593, the 
gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Shadegg) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Shadegg).
  Mr. SHADEGG. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  I rise in support of this amendment. It is largely a technical 
amendment.
  In our Nation we face a serious air quality problem with tiny 
particles of dust and chemicals. This particulate matter is a health 
hazard because people breathe it in, and it irritates their lungs and 
can cause severe respiratory problems, and we have tried to deal with 
it.
  There are two types of particulate matter considered by the EPA. One 
is PM-10, which is a fairly fine particulate matter, and the second is 
PM-2.5, an extremely fine particulate matter. Both are produced by 
vehicles driving on both paved and unpaved roads. Current law allows 
States to obligate funds under the Congestion Management and Air 
Quality Improvement Act, referred to as CMAQ, to areas which are not in 
attainment for either, but it does not distinguish between PM-10 and 
PM-2.5. The other body has passed legislation which would allow funds 
to be allocated to achieve attainment on PM-2.5. My amendment ensures 
that States will be able to use these funds to achieve attainment on 
both, particularly PM-10, and also on PM-2.5, which is the language 
which the Senate has adopted.
  This language is absolutely essential because areas which are not in 
attainment for PM-10 incur significant costs in order to clean up their 
air and meet the standards for them and to curb emissions, particularly 
emissions of these pollutants from roads. Measures which States and 
counties and cities have to take include purchasing specially designed 
streetsweepers, curbing, paving, and stabilizing the shoulders of paved 
roads; paving, vegetating, and chemically stabilizing access points on 
unpaved roads; timing traffic lights; and using reformulated gasoline.
  Vehicles on both paved and unpaved roads are significant sources of 
PM-10. And for example, in my State of Arizona in my hometown of 
Phoenix, PM-10 is estimated to be produced from traffic on both paved 
and unpaved roads.
  In addition, my amendment would strengthen the position of the House 
in going into conference, as the House version of the bill currently 
does not have any language similar to that in the provision.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Who claims time in opposition to the 
amendment?
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Oberstar) 
is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  I compliment the gentleman on raising a very important issue. I also 
want to point out to the House that this is a complex aspect of 
transportation law involving Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality 
Improvement issues. It involves a very technical aspect of the 
particulate standards, the air quality standards, for coarse 
particulate matter or fine particulate matter, those that are 10 or 
2.5.
  In principle, I think I would be in favor of what the gentleman is 
trying to accomplish, but the language of the wording gives us some 
trouble yet. And if the gentleman would bear with us through the bill 
and into conference, I think we can get this matter worked out in a 
manner that is acceptable to achieve the objective he is seeking.
  Mr. SHADEGG. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. OBERSTAR. I yield to the gentleman from Arizona.
  Mr. SHADEGG. Mr. Chairman, as I understand from discussions with the 
gentleman's staff, the concern he has is, I guess, two points. One is 
not with PM-10, which I think the gentleman would agree with me that 
funds be used under CMAQ to mitigate PM-10 pollution at this point; but 
as I understand it, the gentleman has some concern with whether or not 
PM-2.5 can be mitigated with these funds as the Senate is trying to do. 
Is that correct?
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, that is essentially, broadly stated, the 
issue.
  Mr. SHADEGG. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman continue to yield?
  Mr. OBERSTAR. I yield to the gentleman from Arizona, with further 
comment in how that issue would be interpreted and how it would be 
applied.
  Mr. SHADEGG. Mr. Chairman, I understand that there is a second 
concern with an impact on the formula were the language of the current 
amendment, in fact, adopted. Is that also correct?
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, exactly. The question is, How will the 
funds be allocated? And I think we need to just understand that better 
and have it spelled out more clearly so that we understand what is 
happening and we do not run into something we did not anticipate.
  Mr. SHADEGG. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman continue to yield?
  Mr. OBERSTAR. I yield further to the gentleman from Arizona.
  Mr. SHADEGG. Mr. Chairman, as I understand the offer that is being 
made by the ranking member, the gentleman agrees to work in conference 
to address the importance of being able to fund the cleanup of PM-10 
particulate matter and ensure that the law continues to allow CMAQ 
funds to be used to clean up PM-10 materials.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, exactly. I think what we would like to do 
is exchange some language and refine that language and refer to the 
original CMAQ and look at the distribution tables, allocation of funds; 
and I think we will be able to find a way to accommodate the 
gentleman's objective.
  Mr. SHADEGG. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman continue to yield?
  Mr. OBERSTAR. I yield to the gentleman from Arizona.
  Mr. SHADEGG. Mr. Chairman, with that understanding, and I have always 
had a good working relationship with the gentleman, if the majority 
will also commit to work on the PM-10 issue and to work with me to 
ensure that funds can be used to clean up PM-10, I would be amenable to 
withdrawing that amendment with the understanding that it will be 
worked on in

[[Page H1990]]

conference so that we can ensure CMAQ funds can be used to clean up PM-
10 materials, because that is an important issue to my constituents 
and, quite frankly, to all the States of the West.
  Mr. PETRI. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. OBERSTAR. I yield to the gentleman from Wisconsin.
  Mr. PETRI. Mr. Chairman, I can state for the majority that we will 
work with the gentleman and with the minority leader on this matter.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SHADEGG. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  With the understanding I have just reached with the ranking member 
and the spokesman on behalf of the majority, it is my understanding 
that we will all work together to assure that CMAQ funds can be used to 
address PM-10 pollutants as they currently can, as they would be then 
in the future under the legislation. That is extremely important to me 
and to the States I represent and to the States of the West.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself the balance of my time.
  I thank the gentleman for a very dignified discussion and outcome. I 
think it is in the best interest of good policy, and we will work with 
the gentleman in the coming weeks as we go forward.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. SHADEGG. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to withdraw my 
amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Arizona?
  There was no objection.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The amendment is withdrawn.
  It is now in order to consider amendment No. 6 printed in House 
report 108-456.


                 Amendment No. 6 Offered by Mr. Schiff

  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 6 offered by Mr. Schiff:
       In the matter proposed to be inserted by section 1208 of 
     the bill as section 167(b)(4) of title 23, United States 
     Code, strike ``if the operators of such vehicles pay'' in 
     subparagraph (B) and all that follows through the period at 
     the end of subparagraph (C) and insert the following:

     if the agency--
       ``(i) establishes a program that addresses how those 
     qualifying low emission and energy-efficient vehicles are 
     selected and certified;
       ``(ii) establishes requirements for labeling qualifying low 
     emission and energy-efficient vehicles (including procedures 
     for enforcing those requirements);
       ``(iii) continuously monitors, evaluates, and reports to 
     the Secretary on performance; and
       ``(iv) imposes such restrictions on the use on high 
     occupancy vehicle lanes by vehicles that do not satisfy 
     established occupancy requirements as are necessary to ensure 
     that the performance of individual high occupancy vehicle 
     lanes, and the entire high occupancy vehicle lane system, 
     will not become seriously degraded.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 593, the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Schiff) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California (Mr. Schiff).
  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  The car pool lane has been a tremendous success at reducing air 
pollution and alleviating traffic jams since it was introduced 3 
decades ago. The idea works because it is a simple trade-off, more 
choice for more responsibility. We can use this powerful trade-off to 
encourage more than just car pooling. Hybrid gas electric cars have 
doubled the gas mileage of standard cars, which means they fight air 
pollution as surely as car pooling does; and unlike other clean car 
technologies, they are also now available in meaningful numbers.

                              {time}  1500

  This fledgling technology has great potential, but we need to help it 
get off the ground further. There is a small tax deduction for 
purchasing a hybrid car, but expanding this deduction would cost money 
at a time when we are tightening our fiscal belts.
  Instead, we can use the incentive of the car pool lanes to encourage 
drivers to purchase hybrid cars without affecting the U.S. Treasury's 
bottom line. Both the administration and the Senate have recognized the 
potential of this approach. Their versions of the transportation bill 
permits State and local jurisdictions to allow hybrids in the car pool 
lane, even if the driver is alone. For cities with heavy air pollution, 
this could be an effective tool to coax drivers into cleaner cars. It 
also takes decisions about this issue out of Washington and puts them 
in the hands of local communities.
  My amendment would accomplish the same goal by removing a mandate for 
a toll requirement. This lets States and local governments decide for 
themselves whether to allow hybrids in the car pool lane, whether to 
charge a toll or not.
  Some say this risks overcrowding the car pool lane, but my amendment 
requires local governments to monitor the effect of letting in hybrids 
and impose restrictions, if necessary. Thus, if a toll became 
necessary, one could be charged.
  More to the point, hybrid cars are less than \1/2\ of 1 percent of 
the cars on the road today, and a car pool lane crowded with hybrids is 
a problem many governments would love to have.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to my colleague, the gentleman from 
California (Mr. Issa), and thank him for his work on this issue.
  Mr. ISSA. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding me time.
  Mr. Chairman, as you perhaps know, H.R. 243, the Hybrid Vehicle 
Incentive Act, which I authored in the previous Congress and again in 
this Congress, serves to do a similar incentive program for HOV use by 
hybrid vehicles. Since it is tied up in the energy bill and since the 
transportation language was at best vague as to whether or not charges 
must occur, I thank my colleague for his leadership in seeing that 
there was an easy remedy to ensure that municipalities and States could 
charge zero, thus eliminating the requirement to put a toll on these 
efficient vehicles that are leading the way toward ending or at least 
reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore (Mr. Simpson). Who claims time in opposition 
to the amendment?
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The gentleman from Alaska (Mr. Young) is 
recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, we have reviewed this amendment, 
and I believe, with consultation, we have agreed to the amendment.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. I yield to the gentleman from Minnesota.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I thank the chairman for yielding.
  Mr. Chairman, I want to frame this issue here carefully. The purpose 
of the HOV lanes is to encourage more people to ride in a car than to 
continue encouraging single-occupancy vehicle travel. Now, the idea of 
an exemption for hybrid vehicles was to encourage their development, 
their production, and that is happening in California, to the great 
credit of that State. So now we are seeing sort of the hybrid vehicle 
production take off. But in that process, the principle of HOV lanes 
seems to be falling behind, with more single-passenger vehicles 
traveling.
  So the language of the gentleman's amendment is not perfectly clear. 
We would be willing to accept language that makes it clear that the 
State can choose to exempt a hybrid vehicle, not that they are required 
to exempt. Is that the intent of the gentleman's amendment, that the 
State will have the choice, not that they are required to exempt from 
paying a toll on an HOV toll lane?
  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Chairman, the intent is to give States the option, not the 
mandate, to charge a toll. If the States choose, they may allow 
hybrids; if they chose to allow hybrids under the condition of a toll, 
they would have that capability as well. We do not want to mandate 
that. Hopefully, I hope it would not be necessary.
  If at some point down the road there were so many hybrids on the road 
that it was creating a clogging of the HOV lanes, States would be able 
to uninvite them to the HOV lanes or charge a toll.

[[Page H1991]]

  So, yes, that is the intention of the amendment.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. SCHIFF. I yield to the gentleman from Minnesota.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I agree with the chairman, we could 
accept the amendment, with the understanding as we get into conference, 
this language needs to be tightened up.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Chairman, I will agree with that. I think it should be tightened 
up. It is something that both the author and, of course, the gentleman 
from California have spoken on; and we will continue working with you 
to see if we cannot make it adaptable to everybody.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Chairman, as I understand it, the amendment is acceptable, and in 
conference there will be additional language added to further clarify 
that the States may charge a toll if they so choose, but are not 
required.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The question is on the amendment offered by 
the gentleman from California (Mr. Schiff).
  The amendment was agreed to.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment 
No. 7 printed in House Report 108-456.


                 Amendment No. 7 Offered by Mr. Vitter

  Mr. VITTER. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 7 offered by Mr. Vitter:
       At the end of section 1301(b)(1), add the following:
       The Interstate Route 49 Corridor shall receive priority 
     consideration under this paragraph.

  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 593, the 
gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Vitter) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Vitter).
  Mr. VITTER. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Chairman, this is an amendment to officially represent a vitally 
important corridor, I-49, and specifically recognize it as qualifying 
under the new National Corridor Infrastructure Improvement program. I 
think everyone will agree that this is exactly the sort of crucial 
corridor for economic purposes, military uses, the movement of 
agricultural products, all sorts of key uses, that this program is 
about. So the purpose of the amendment would be to formally recognize 
in the bill, to make sure that it qualifies. There is no specific 
amount of money associated with I-49 through this amendment, just to 
ensure that it fully qualifies under that improvement program.
  Again, I-49 is such a corridor of national significance because of 
the movement of ag products from the heartland of the country to our 
ports in the south and across the globe; because of defense and 
security issues, I-49 links so many of our military bases; because of 
trade, again, agriculture is perhaps the biggest example of that, but 
it is an enormous trade corridor into the heartland of the country; 
because of energy, moving energy from Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico 
into the country; and because of safety concerns.
  That is the reason, that is the purpose behind that amendment. I 
intend to withdraw the amendment in a few moments after engaging in a 
short colloquy with the chairman.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Who claims the time in opposition?
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the 
amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The gentleman from Alaska (Mr. Young) is 
recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, I yield such time as he may 
consume to the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Oberstar).
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding me 
time.
  Mr. Chairman, very simply stated, this amendment would bypass the 
determination of the Secretary to make decisions on corridors and 
substitute judgment in this body for that of the Secretary looking at a 
national picture, and that is the wrong way to proceed. We should not 
do that.
  Mr. VITTER. Mr. Chairman, I yield such time as he may consume to the 
gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. John).
  Mr. JOHN. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding me time.
  Mr. Chairman, of course I fully support funding of I-49, which runs 
right through the Seventh District of Louisiana, right through the 
heartland of Louisiana. Completion of this very important interstate 
system from Canada to New Orleans is an incredibly important corridor, 
from the Midwest of America down to the coast and for the economics of 
trade, and it is an incredibly important program.
  I have worked very hard over the last few years to make sure that I-
49 South was given a high priority designation in TEA 21, and also I-49 
North, as a high priority corridor. This amendment today I think 
reinstates the importance of I-49 as a priority for Congress, and I 
fully support it.
  However, there is a larger issue at hand. I think we need more 
funding for this bill to accelerate funding for I-49 and other projects 
across the Nation. Each Member in this body believes that highways 
running through their district are a priority, and they are correct. 
Improved transportation infrastructure means economic development; it 
means good American jobs. But the only way that we can see these 
priorities met is to increase the funding for this bill in Congress.
  The I-49 Congressional Caucus is working with the chairman and the 
ranking member on a way to complete the funding for this project, and 
many other projects; and I pledge to create new jobs and expand 
economic development for the full funding of I-49 and other high-
significant and regional priorities.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman 
from Wisconsin (Mr. Petri).
  Mr. PETRI. Mr. Chairman, I think the gentleman from Louisiana knows 
that this Member, at least, has met on a number of occasions both here 
in Washington and down in New Orleans and other places in Louisiana 
with groups who are supporting this high-priority project. It is an 
important project. But there are a lot of important projects in our 
country. Our committee is trying to come up with the resources to meet 
a variety of needs.
  I would urge the gentleman to work with the committee and the 
process, rather than attempting to single out his particular project in 
this way, because it is not going to work politically here in the 
House, given all the other regions and their concerns.
  But what the gentleman is saying is important. He does have an 
important project, and we are eager to work with the gentleman to try 
to come up with the resources necessary to help move it forward.
  Mr. VITTER. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Alaska (Mr. Young), to have a conversation in the form of a colloquy.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, I would like to offer the 
gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Vitter) my support for this route. I have 
had the privilege of speaking to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. 
McCrery), the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Vitter), the gentleman from 
Louisiana (Mr. John), everybody involved in this area; and my attention 
as time goes by as we go to the conference, this will be one of the 
routes that is considered as a high priority, because it is badly 
needed, not only for the State of Louisiana, but for the other States 
in proximity too.
  I would like to say that we had enough money to do everything, but I 
am not going to say we do. But this is one of the areas that I am very 
strongly in support of, and I will do everything I can to see that we 
achieve those goals.
  Mr. VITTER. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman very much for that pledge of 
support, and I look forward to working with the gentleman proactively 
as the process moves along.

[[Page H1992]]

  Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to withdraw my amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Louisiana?
  There was no objection.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. It is now in order to consider amendment 
No. 8 printed in House Report 108-456.


                 Amendment No. 8 Offered by Mr. Graves

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 8 offered by Mr. Graves:
       At the end of subtitle D of title I, add the following (and 
     conform the table of contents accordingly):

     SEC. 1408. RENTED OR LEASED MOTOR VEHICLES.

       (a) In General.--Subchapter I of chapter 301 of title 49, 
     United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the

     amended by inserting after the item relating to section 30105 
     the following:

``30106. Rented or leased motor vehicle safety and responsibility.''.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 593, the 
gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Graves) and a Member opposed each will be 
recognized for 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Graves).
  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Chairman, I am here today to correct an inequity as I see it in 
the car and truck renting and leasing industry. By reforming vicarious 
liability to establish a national standard that all but a small handful 
of States already follow, we will restore fair competition to the car 
and truck renting and leasing industry and lower costs and increase 
choices for all consumers.
  Currently, a small number of States impose vicarious liability, or 
liability without fault, on companies simply because they own a vehicle 
involved in an accident. Whether or not the vehicle is at fault is 
irrelevant. These vicarious liability lawsuits cost consumers 
nationwide over $100 million annually.
  These laws apply to where the accident occurs. It does not matter 
where the car or truck was rented or leased. Since companies cannot 
prevent their vehicles from being driven to a vicarious liability 
State, they cannot prevent their exposure from these laws and then 
raise their rates accordingly. These higher costs have driven many 
small companies out of business, reducing the consumer choice and 
competition that keeps costs down.
  While this amendment seeks to level the playing field, I want to 
emphasize that the provisioning will not allow car and truck renting 
and leasing companies to escape liability if they are at fault. 
Accident victims will continue to be compensated according to 
individual State law.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Who claims time in opposition to the 
amendment?
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition to the 
amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Oberstar) 
is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Chairman, the gentleman from Missouri has been quite persistent 
and thoughtful in his pursuit of this amendment and very genuine, and I 
think one of the adversely affected companies is located in the State 
of Missouri and has expressed their concerns about the effects of 
current law.

                              {time}  1515

  The gentleman has sought a way to provide some relief. I rise in very 
strong opposition to the language, with great respect for the 
gentleman, a member of our committee.
  It would supersede State law in 15 States that have already adopted 
laws to apply vicarious liability to car rental companies. The reason 
they have done so is that if a car rental company rents to a person who 
has no insurance, the rental company is the one that is best suited to 
assume the responsibility. They have done this action in their judgment 
in the best interest of the consumer.
  Now, we have not had hearings in depth that would explore all aspects 
of this issue. It is a very complex issue of State law, and it varies 
from one part of the country to another. But States, as far as we can 
ascertain, that have adopted such a policy have concluded that, without 
it, harm to innocent children, to bystanders would go totally 
uncompensated, even if the rental car company had leased, say, to an 
obvious drug abuser or someone with a very bad driving record.
  States, including mine of Minnesota, have reached an independent 
policy determination on this matter. I do not think Congress should 
weigh in to supersede the State judgment on this matter.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Virginia (Mr. Boucher), the amendment cosponsor.
  Mr. BOUCHER. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding me this 
time, and today I rise to join with him in support of a common sense 
reform that will eliminate antiquated vicarious liability statutes, 
benefit consumers, and protect the victims of accidents.
  Vicarious liability laws for rental cars in a handful of States drive 
up costs for consumers nationwide by an average of $100 million 
annually. These laws prevent unlimited damages against companies that 
rent or lease vehicles solely because they own a vehicle that is 
involved in an accident, not because they have done anything wrong. 
These companies are not negligent, not at fault, and could do nothing 
to have prevented the accident.
  Consumers pay $100 million annually resulting from these unfair laws 
because companies must build the costs of arbitrary damage awards into 
their rental and lease rates. Regardless of where a car or truck rental 
company is headquartered or where the vehicle is rented or leased, the 
company is subject to vicarious liability, even if its vehicle is 
driven to a vicarious liability State and is involved in an accident. 
Therefore, the laws of a mere handful of States drive up rental rates 
nationwide for all rental consumers.
  I urge approval of this common sense reform.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
New York (Mr. Nadler).

[[Page H1993]]

  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Chairman, my own State of New York is one of the most 
active car rental markets in the country. We also have a huge number of 
uninsured drivers who rent cars because, in New York City, a lot of 
people do not own cars. New York has forbidden car rental companies to 
ask their customers if they own automobile insurance in order to allow 
the largest number of people access to rent the cars.
  Since New York has made the policy decision to mandate car rental 
companies to rent to uninsured drivers, New York needs vicarious 
liability to protect innocent bystanders who are injured by these 
uninsured drivers. Why should not New York and other States have the 
ability to make that policy determination? Why should we arrogate to 
ourselves to tell the 15 States that have chosen to have vicarious 
liability but not to limit car rentals to only people who can prove 
that they have their own personal insurance, that is the trade-off; why 
should we tell them that is the wrong policy decision? That should be 
left to the States.
  There is nothing wrong with a State deciding that it is in the 
interests of the people of that State for uninsured drivers, who may be 
uninsured because they do not own their own cars, to be able to rent 
cars, but to be able to say to the car rental companies, you must take 
vicarious liability so that you do not shift the burden of paying for 
an accident to the pedestrian or the hospital or the taxpayers. This is 
a perfectly reasonable thing to do. Fifteen States have chosen to do 
it.
  To pass this amendment is to say that we are going to obviate the 
policy choices that those States have made and shift the burden on to 
innocent victims of accidents in those States. We should not do it. Let 
the States decide this question, as they have.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge opposition to this amendment.
  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume. 
The amendment requires that vehicles be covered, still be covered by 
the State-established minimum insurance levels for vicarious liability.
  The bottom line is, if we limit vicarious liabilities, they are still 
going to be covered by the minimum standard. There is never going to be 
an instance where the vehicle goes out there and is not insured.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. How much time is remaining on both sides, Mr. Chairman?
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore (Mr. Simpson). The gentleman from Minnesota 
(Mr. Oberstar) has 1 minute remaining; the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. 
Graves) has 2 minutes remaining.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  I had several and, unfortunately, due to the speed in which 
amendments were moving this morning, we are not going to get to all of 
them. We have the House majority whip, the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. 
Blunt) who wanted to speak on this, and also the gentleman from Georgia 
(Mr. Burns).
  Mr. Chairman, this amendment I think makes sense. It is a consumer 
amendment. It is going to save consumers $100 million annually.
  The fact that a company can be liable simply because they own the 
vehicle even though they were not involved I think is ridiculous.
  The bottom line is that this is still going to require that vehicles 
be covered by the State-established minimum levels for insurance. There 
is never going to be a situation where a vehicle goes out there or 
someone goes out there that there is not a lease to State minimum 
standard. That is still going to be in place.
  What this simply says, there is unlimited liability in this situation 
where we have a vicarious liability law in a State. We are trying to 
put together some sort of a national standard. I think it makes sense. 
I think it is good for the consumer, and it is going to make a big 
difference.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from 
Virginia (Mr. Scott).
  Mr. SCOTT of Virginia. Mr. Chairman, I just think this is an 
unfortunate situation to have 5 minutes to debate this important issue.
  The question is, who will take the risk? If the rental car agency is 
not going to provide the insurance for the drivers, who will? Are they 
responsible or required to have insurance? Will the victims of 
negligence have to pay their own bills?
  This is just unfortunate. We have 50 different States, 50 different 
laws. They have all dealt with this situation individually. It is 
unconscionable to try to decide this in a 5-minute debate. I hope we 
defeat the amendment.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  If I allow another person to use my car and that person has an 
accident, I am liable. Why should rental car companies be different? If 
States choose to make them liable under these circumstances, as our 
State of Minnesota does, then why should the Congress substitute a 
different judgment for that of the States?
  Without extensive hearings, without a deep inquiry into this subject 
matter, this is an inappropriate time, inappropriate amendment, 
inappropriate place to do it, and the amendment preferably should be 
withdrawn and we could work on it, perhaps through conference, 
otherwise defeated.
  Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Chairman, I submit the following letter for the 
Record.

                                            National Conference of


                                           State Legislatures,

                                    Washington, DC, April 1, 2004.
     Hon. Dennis Hastert,
     Speaker, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
     Minority Leader, House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
     Subject: Amendment 8 to H.R. 3550.

       Dear Speaker Hastert and Representative Pelosi: On behalf 
     of the National Conference of State Legislatures, I am 
     writing to express strong, bipartisan opposition to the 
     passage of Amendment Number 8 to H.R. 3550, ``The 
     Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy For Users.'' This 
     amendment is a blatant attempt by the U.S. Congress to 
     preempt existing state laws regarding vicarious liability for 
     rental car owners. This amendment has been introduced without 
     the benefit of a hearing or debate on how this amendment 
     would impact existing state laws.
       Tort reform and liability are areas of law that have been 
     traditionally regulated by the states. NCSL supports state 
     efforts to reform or not to reform their own vicarious 
     liability statutes. Perhaps even more egregious is the fact 
     that this federal effort to preempt state laws has been 
     orchestrated without the benefit of input from the states. At 
     the very least, Congress should have held a hearing and 
     discussion of this very important issue.
       If you need any additional information, please contact NCSL 
     Senior Committee Director for the Law and Criminal Justice 
     Committee Susan Parnas Frederick at (202) 624-3566 
     ([email protected]).
           Respectfully,

                                            Denton Darrington,

                           Idaho State Senate, Chair NCSL Standing
                              Committee on Law & Criminal Justice.

  Mr. Chairman, my amendment is simple, straightforward, and based on 
common sense. I think we have all driven down the highway and have seen 
trucks parked at night at rest areas and truck stops and we have seen 
that they are idling or running. The reason that they are doing that is 
because the drivers inside require electric power to run their heat or 
cooling or microwave or whatever other electronics they may have in 
their cab.
  The problem with the trucks idling or running all night is that they 
use fuel and they emit pollutions into the environment. So my amendment 
simply would allow a 400-pound exemption to encourage trucks to utilize 
on-board independent power systems.
  According to studies by the EPA and others, long-haul trucks, they 
idle up to 8 hours per day over 300 days per year. They consume about 
.8 gallons of diesel fuel each hour that they idle, and that adds up to 
over 1,900 gallons per year, and they emit 19 metric tons of carbon 
dioxide into the atmosphere while they are idling. So by reducing the 
unnecessary truck idling, we can save fuel, we can reduce greenhouse 
gases, we can cut air pollution, and we can save money.
  For the past 6 years, the companies in the country that have worked 
on these independent, on-board power systems, they have worked with the 
EPA and they have worked with the Department of Transportation to come 
up with systems that provide the power necessary to run the heating, 
air-conditioning, and other electronic needs. The tests that they have 
run on these systems have yielded a 65.5 percent reduction in the idle 
time of trucks that use them and a 59.6 percent reduction in fuel 
consumption.
  According to the EPA, we would reduce greenhouse gases, we would 
reduce nitrogen oxides, we would reduce particulate matter emissions, 
and save nearly $3,000 a year in fuel costs and lower engine 
maintenance costs as well.
  I think my home State of Indiana is a great example. Indiana alone 
has 17,000 truck parking spaces; and if you drive down the highway at 
night, every one of them is filled.
  So, Mr. Chairman, I believe that by offering this exemption we can 
encourage the use of this technology, resulting in reduced truck 
emissions, reduced fuel consumption. It would be very beneficial to the 
United States, and I think that everyone can agree that this is a very 
beneficial amendment.
  The amendment is supported by the American Lung Association, the 
American Trucking Association, the National Association of Truck Stop 
Operators, and the EPA, and Schneider International, the Nation's 
largest trucking fleet.
  Mr. Chairman, the bottom line is we are asking for a one-half of 1 
percent weight exemption to implement a very common-sense solution that 
helps our environment, helps our energy needs, and certainly I think we 
should pass this amendment.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition, and I 
yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Chairman, again, this is like, as so often we will see on these 
amendments on the floor, an amendment that is well intentioned but has 
adverse consequences. I support the environmental benefits that can be 
achieved with clean air technologies. In the manager's amendment, the 
chairman and I have worked on it and our staff have worked on 
congestion mitigation, air quality improvement, and surface 
transportation program funds, the largest of the core programs, to 
assure that these funds may be used to support stand-alone truck 
electrification technologies, because we saw in testimony in hearings 
that there are such technologies that are very, very low-weight, with 
high benefits.
  This issue came up in the House-Senate Energy Conference, and I 
addressed this issue in the Conference and raised objections. Mr. 
Chairman, 400 pounds may seem insignificant, but it will have serious 
consequences on safety of our driving public and on the roads. Bigger 
trucks, more road damage. If all trucks had that extra 400 pounds, $600 
million a year in extra road damage. Over the life of this bill, that 
will add up to over $3.5 billion in road damage.
  The point is, why are we picking, or why pick 400 pounds? There is a 
wide range of technologies that have far less weight that have very 
significant improvements that show idling reduction technologies do, in 
fact, pay for themselves and reduce costs in less than 2 years. There 
are other technologies that will provide the same clean air benefits as 
the one addressed in this amendment.

                              {time}  1530

  So I think rather than just pick out one particular technology, one 
that weighs 400 pounds or less, whatever, this is not the right way to 
approach the issue.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. CHOCOLA. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  This is a very commonsense approach to a real problem that we have in 
our Nation's highways and Nation's environment; 400 pounds is one-half 
of 1 percent weight exemption on an 80,000 pound rig. So adding 400 
pounds is a relatively lightweight solution. So I think it is very much 
based on common sense.
  It is a simple approach to a real need we have. It is a specific 
solution that I think that we can implement today by passing this 
amendment that will not only help our environment; it will help our 
Nation's reliance on foreign energy.
  Over $3,000 a year, as the price of fuel goes up and savings goes up, 
that will be beneficial to every single American. I do not think when 
you take the risk-reward analysis that the risk is too great when we 
add \1/2\ of 1 percent to an 80,000 pound rig, as compared to the 
reward that really every American is going to benefit.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I yield such time as he may consume to 
the gentleman from Alaska (Mr. Young), the chairman of the committee.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, I deeply respect my good friend 
that has offered this amendment, but I have a couple questions.
  One, I have had the privilege of visiting a private company; it has 
developed a truck stop process whereby the trucks do have the same 
thing my colleague wants. What I understand his amendment does is he 
wants to raise the weight of the truck 400 pounds of added equipment to 
the truck so they do not have to stop at a truck stop. Is that correct?
  Mr. CHOCOLA. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. I yield to the gentleman from Indiana.
  Mr. CHOCOLA. Mr. Chairman, that is correct.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, well, I am just concerned about 
that because this company called Idle Air, it has done an outstanding 
job, and they are trying to do the job right without any government 
money or support. And they are doing exactly what my colleague wants to 
do, but the truck does have to go and they have their waiting time that 
they have to rest, refuel their trucks, et cetera.

[[Page H1995]]

  And it seems to me if we add this extra 400 pounds for additional 
equipment, it would be detrimental to that individual company. That 
concerns me somewhat. I am sort of taking sides on that issue is what I 
am saying. With your proposal, would that hurt the company?
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I yield such time as he may consume to 
the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Chocola).
  Mr. CHOCOLA. Mr. Chairman, this solution gives all options available. 
Certainly the Idle Air technology is still very valid. It is very 
beneficial. And trucks that travel routes where Idle Air technology is 
available, they certainly can avail themselves of that. But the 
technology that I am promoting is portable. It can be installed on any 
truck in the Nation. So it makes the benefits of the Idle Air 
technology available nationwide.
  And so by adding this exemption, every truck has the opportunity to 
enjoy the reduced idling benefits even if the Idle Air technology is 
not available in their region.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I yield such time as he may consume to 
the gentleman from Alaska (Mr. Young).
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, we do have some problems with 
weight limitation on these trucks. Four hundred pounds does not sound 
like much; but if you add all the trucks up, we do not know the 
ramifications of the weight factor on the roads. And I really think the 
gentleman is on the right track, but I think we have to consider what 
that would do if, in fact, we raise that limitation to 400 pounds, do 
we raise the limitation on other aspects of the trucks such as a new 
engine which adds 3,000 pounds to the truck. We have not done that yet.
  So I think we need to look at the total wear and tear on the road.
  Mr. CHOCOLA. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Chairman, I do think it is a commonsense approach to a problem 
that we have. There are different ways to approach this problem that 
have benefits. But the one I am suggesting makes available to every 
truck on the Nation's highways the opportunity to incorporate reduced 
idling technology anywhere in the country in that they can have the 
opportunity to shut their engine off at night, quit polluting our air, 
quit using fuel unnecessarily. And I think everyone will benefit from 
that.
  We can continue to look for new solutions, but this is something we 
can do today to help our trucking industry, help our economy, create 
jobs, and help our environment all at the same time.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Chairman, very simply, trucks come to a truck stop. They want to 
use this 400-pound technology to run their Air King unit. There is 
better technology, does not have the weight, they can plug it in and 
not put that added weight on the roadway. We should not accept this 
amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore (Mr. Simpson). The question is on the 
amendment offered by the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Chocola).
  The question was taken; and the Chairman pro tempore announced that 
the noes appeared to have it.
  Mr. CHOCOLA. Mr. Chairman, I demand a recorded vote.
  The CHAIRMAN (pro tempore). Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, 
further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from 
Indiana (Mr. Chocola) will be postponed.
  It is now in order to consider amendment No. 10 printed in House 
Report 108-456.


                 Amendment No. 10 Offered by Mr. Baird

  Mr. BAIRD. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
  The Chairman pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 10 offered by Mr. Baird:
       Title I, at the end of subtitle H add the following:

     SEC. 1819. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Buy America test required by Public Law 97-424 
     needs to be applied to an entire bridge project and not only 
     to component parts of such project;
       (2) the law clearly states that domestic materials must be 
     used in Federal highway projects unless there is a finding 
     that the inclusion of domestic materials will increase the 
     cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent;
       (3) uncertainty regarding how to apply Buy America laws for 
     major bridge projects threatens the domestic bridge industry;
       (4) the Nation's unemployment rate continues to hover 
     around 5.6 percent, steps are needed to protect American 
     workers and the domestic bridge building industry; and
       (5) the Buy America Act was designed to ensure that, when 
     taxpayer money is spent on direct Federal Government 
     procurement and infrastructure projects, these expenditures 
     stimulate United States production and job creation.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 593, the 
gentleman from Washington (Mr. Baird) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Baird).
  Mr. BAIRD. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Chairman, I support the underlying transportation bill that will 
put America back to work, relieve congestion on our roadways, and 
streamline the permitting process.
  I appreciate the opportunity to speak on behalf of my amendment that 
will strengthen the Buy America Act. The Nation's unemployment rate 
continues to hover around 5.6 percent. In a district such as mine, that 
number is considerably higher.
  As we all know, the intent of the Buy America law was to ensure that 
when taxpayer money is spent on direct Federal Government procurement 
and infrastructure projects, those expenditures will stimulate U.S. 
production and U.S. job creation.
  My sense of the Congress resolution is intended to reinforce that 
commitment. This resolution does not cost the Federal Government any 
money, but it will help the working men and women in my district and 
others around this Nation keep their steel jobs and earn a decent 
living.
  My resolution will also strengthen our domestic steel industry, which 
is critical to our national security and ultimately to the future 
economic success of our country. Simply put, highway project managers 
have identified a way to circumvent the Buy America law as it applies 
to bridge projects that use Federal funds. My resolution is needed to 
clarify that law and close the loophole before it completely subverts 
the intent of Congress when the original Buy America provisions were 
enacted as part of the highway bill more than 20 years ago.
  The original Buy America provision provided that domestic iron and 
steel would be used in Federal transportation projects unless its use 
increased the overall project contract by more than 25 percent. The 
problem that is emerging in the highway bridge industry is that project 
managers have begun to attempt to circumvent the Buy America Act by 
breaking bridge projects into component parts and applying the 25 
percent test individually rather than to the entire project as required 
under law.
  As it turns out, by breaking the project into smaller components, 
foreign steel providers are advantaged because it is possible to create 
situations where the 25 percent test is exceeded on smaller components, 
even though the test, if it were applied to the overall project, would 
be required.
  The steel bridge fabricating industry increasingly is being forced to 
fight this misinterpretation of the law which, left unchallenged, could 
devastate the steel bridge industry. Most recently, on the Wilson 
Bridge project between Maryland and Virginia, the bridge industry 
argued successfully that the original bid process developed by the 
Maryland Department of Transportation, which initially called for 
dividing the project into smaller component projects, violated the Buy 
America Act. Maryland revised its procedures and now domestic mills and 
fabricators are building that bridge.
  Congress needs to deliver a clear message to the Federal Highway 
Administration and to bridge managers across the country that Buy 
America provisions apply to the overall bridge project and we must, end 
any confusion or misinterpretation of the law.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to support this important 
resolution.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.

[[Page H1996]]

  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the 
amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The gentleman from Alaska is recognized for 
5 minutes.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, I yield such time as he may 
consume to the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Oberstar).
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I thank the chairman for yielding me this 
time.
  I appreciate the intent of the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Baird). 
It is a sense of Congress amendment to clarify that the Buy America Act 
applies to overall projects and not just to component parts. It is in 
keeping with the purpose, the thrust of our intent to keep more jobs in 
America, not let them go overseas, keep products that go into our 
highway and bridge program built in America, not built overseas.
  And I can speak from personal experience. In the harbor between 
Duluth and Lake Superior, when a new bridge was being built 22 years 
ago and the bridge had been bid and the State of Wisconsin was the one 
responsible for building that bridge, they allowed $1 million of 
Japanese steel to go into the center arch span.
  That is when I sprang to the defense of American steel and got the 
amendment that has now been in law for all these years that we have 
American steel in U.S. Federal-aid highway programs. So I am in accord 
with the purpose of the gentleman.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  I am going to ask for a voice vote, and I really am not in opposition 
to it; but I do not have anybody else speaking on this amendment.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield back my time.
  Mr. BAIRD. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I 
thank my distinguished chairman and ranking member for their prior 
leadership on this and their continuing and steadfast support of Buy 
America provisions.
  This is not only a jobs issue, this is not only a safety issue, it is 
a homeland security issue. We must maintain a vibrant and strong 
domestic steel fabrication industry. We must not allow entities to 
circumvent the intent of the Buy America provision.
  This resolution helps the sense of the Congress clarify that intent, 
and I urge its passage.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The question is on the amendment offered by 
the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Baird).
  The amendment was agreed to.
  It is now in order to consider amendment No. 11 printed in House 
Report 108-456.


                  Amendment No. 11 Offered by Mr. Holt

  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
  The Chairman pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Amendment No. 11 offered by Mr. Holt:
       At the end of title I, insert the following (and conform 
     the table of contents accordingly):

     SEC. 1819. NEW JERSEY REGULATIONS.

       Nothing in Federal law or regulation shall be construed as 
     preventing the State of New Jersey from prohibiting large 
     single trucks or twin-trailer combinations from using 
     highways on the Interstate System, the New Jersey Turnpike, 
     and the Atlantic City Expressway in the State of New Jersey, 
     unless such trucks or combinations are traveling to a 
     terminal or making pickups or deliveries on other roads in 
     the State of New Jersey.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 593, the 
gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Holt) and a Member opposed each will 
control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Holt).


          Modification to Amendment No. 11 Offered by Mr. Holt

  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to modify my 
amendment at the desk with an amendment.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The Clerk will report the modification.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Modification offered by Mr. Holt to amendment No. 11:
       (1) On line 4 of the amendment, strike ``large single 
     trucks or twin-trailer combinations'' and insert ``trucks 
     that are specifically allowed by Federal law to travel on the 
     national network''.
       (2) On line 5 of the amendment, strike ``Interstate 
     System'' and insert ``national network''.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Is there objection to the modification of 
the amendment?
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, reserving the right to object, under my 
reservation may I inquire of our Chair whether the majority has seen 
the language.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. OBERSTAR. I yield to the gentleman from Alaska.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, we have not seen the language yet 
as far as the amendment. It is my indication I do not think we are 
going to object, but I would like to be able to read the language 
first. I do not think we have any objections to it.
  Mr. PETRI. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Further reserving the right to object, I yield to the 
gentleman from Wisconsin.
  Mr. PETRI. Mr. Chairman, it is my understanding that the gentleman 
did misdraft the original amendment. We are still going to oppose the 
amendment as redrafted on the merits, but extend him the courtesy of 
correcting his drafting error.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Chairman, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. Is there objection to the modification 
offered by the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Holt)?
  There was no objection.
  The CHAIRMAN pro tempore. The amendment is modified.
  The gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Holt) is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  I appreciate the courtesy so we can at least consider the perfected 
form of this amendment.
  The need for my amendment is precipitated by a recent court decision 
that would lift a ban that has been in effect in the State of New 
Jersey since 1999 that restricts the roads on which the very wide 102-
inch or wider trucks travel.
  And this amendment would uphold current restrictions and current 
policy, maintain current policy and, thus, by extension, affirm the 
right of States to regulate the super-sized trucks on roads that are 
not part of the national network.
  In 1999 the then Secretary of Transportation and his associate at the 
Federal Highway Administration, the administrator, in writing and in 
person with Members of Congress and concerned State and local 
officials, categorically affirmed that, quote, ``nothing in Federal law 
or regulation would prevent New Jersey from banning large single or 
twin-trailer combinations from the subject routes unless they were 
traveling to a terminal or making pick ups or deliveries on these 
routes.''
  And with that clarification, the State of New Jersey, the former 
Governor, Governor Whitman, subsequently adopted new limitations on 
what roads large trucks may and may not use.
