       Sec. 310. (a) For fiscal year 2000, the Secretary of 
     Transportation shall--
       (1) not distribute from the obligation limitation for 
     Federal-aid Highways amounts authorized for administrative 
     expenses and programs funded from the administrative takedown 
     authorized by section 104(a) of title 23, United States Code, 
     for the highway use tax evasion program, and amounts provided 
     under section 110 of title 23, United States Code, and for 
     the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
       (2) not distribute an amount from the obligation limitation 
     for Federal-aid Highways that is equal to the unobligated 
     balance of amounts made available from the Highway Trust Fund 
     (other than the Mass Transit Account) for Federal-aid 
     highways and highway safety programs for the previous fiscal 
     year the funds for which are allocated by the Secretary;
       (3) determine the ratio that--
       (A) the obligation limitation for Federal-aid Highways less 
     the aggregate of amounts not distributed under paragraphs (1) 
     and (2), bears to
       (B) the total of the sums authorized to be appropriated for

     (other than sums authorized to be appropriated for sections 
     set forth in paragraphs (1) through (7) of subsection (b) and 
     sums authorized to be appropriated for section 105 of title 
     23, United States Code, equal to the amount referred to in

     105 of title 23, United States Code (relating to minimum 
     guarantee) so that the amount of obligation authority 
     available for each of such sections is equal to the amount 
     determined by multiplying the ratio determined under 
     paragraph (3) by the sums authorized to be appropriated for 
     such section (except in the case of section 105, 
     $2,000,000,000) for such fiscal year;
       (5) distribute the obligation limitation provided for 
     Federal-aid Highways less the aggregate amounts not 
     distributed under paragraphs (1) and (2) and amounts 
     distributed under paragraph (4) for each of the programs that 
     are allocated by the Secretary under title 23, United States

     authorized to be appropriated for such program for such

     such fiscal year exceed $2,639,000,000, and the Appalachian 
     development highway system program) that are apportioned by 
     the Secretary under title 23, United States Code, in the 
     ratio that--
       (A) sums authorized to be appropriated for such programs 
     that are apportioned to each State for such fiscal year, bear 
     to
       (B) the total of the sums authorized to be appropriated for 
     such programs that are apportioned to all States for such 
     fiscal year.
       (b) Exceptions From Obligation Limitation.--The obligation 
     limitation for Federal-aid Highways shall not apply to

     Notwithstanding subsection (a), the Secretary shall after 
     August 1 for such fiscal year revise a distribution of the 
     obligation limitation made available under subsection (a) if 
     a State will not obligate the amount distributed during that 
     fiscal year and redistribute sufficient amounts to those 
     States able to obligate amounts in addition to those 
     previously distributed during that fiscal year giving 
     priority to those States having large unobligated balances of 
     funds apportioned under sections 104 and 144 of title 23, 
     United States Code, section 160 (as in effect on the day 
     before the enactment of the Transportation Equity Act for the

     Transportation Research Programs.--The obligation limitation 
     shall apply to transportation research programs carried out

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

     performance specifications, the purchase of which was 
     assisted by a Federal airport-aid program, airport

     (3) includes a requirement that permits performance under the 
     contract during the second and subsequent years of the 
     contract without conditioning such performance upon the 
     appropriation of funds: Provided, That this limitation does 
     not apply to a contract in which the Federal Government 
     incurs no financial liability from not buying additional 
     systems, subsystems, or components beyond the basic contract 
     requirements.
       Sec. 316. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, and 
     except for fixed guideway modernization projects, funds made
