       (2) Project.--The term ``project'' means any activity to 
     reduce or eliminate deferred maintenance of an asset, which 
     may include resolving directly related infrastructure 
     deficiencies of the asset that would not by itself be

     available, there is appropriated to the Secretary of the 
     Interior for fiscal year 2022, out of any money in the 
     Treasury not otherwise appropriated, $3,000,000,000 to remain

     section.

     of funds made available under subsection (a) shall be used 
     for non-transportation projects.
       (2) Transportation projects.--The amounts made available 
     under subsection (b) that are remaining after the allocations 
     required under paragraph (1) may be allocated for

       (e) Prohibited Use of Funds.--No amounts made available 
     under subsection (b) shall be used--
       (1) for land acquisition;

     annually recurring facility operations, maintenance, and
