Act may be obligated or expended for the review or processing 
of an application by a Mexican motor carrier for authority to 
operate beyond United States municipalities and commercial 
zones on the United States-Mexico border until the Federal 
Motor Carrier Safety Administration--
            (1)(A) requires a safety examination of such motor 
        carrier to be performed before the carrier is granted 
        conditional operating authority to operate beyond 
        United States municipalities and commercial zones on 
        the United States-Mexico border;
            (B) requires the safety examination to include--
                    (i) verification of available performance 
                data and safety management programs;
                    (ii) verification of a drug and alcohol 
                testing program consistent with part 40 of 
                title 49, Code of Federal Regulations;
                    (iii) verification of that motor carrier's 
                system of compliance with hours-of-service 
                rules, including hours-of-service records;
                    (iv) verification of proof of insurance;
                    (v) a review of available data concerning 
                that motor carrier's safety history, and other 
                information necessary to determine the 
                carrier's preparedness to comply with Federal 
                Motor Carrier Safety rules and regulations and 
                Hazardous Materials rules and regulations;
                    (vi) an inspection of that Mexican motor 
                carrier's commercial vehicles to be used under 
                such operating authority, if any such 
                commercial vehicles have not received a decal 
                from the inspection required in subsection 
                (a)(5);
                    (vii) an evaluation of that motor carrier's 
                safety inspection, maintenance, and repair 
                facilities or management systems, including 
                verification of records of periodic vehicle 
                inspections;
                    (viii) verification of drivers' 
                qualifications, including a confirmation of the 
                validity of the Licencia de Federal de 
                Conductor of each driver of that motor carrier 
                who will be operating under such authority; and
                    (ix) an interview with officials of that 
                motor carrier to review safety management 
                controls and evaluate any written safety 
                oversight policies and practices.
            (C) requires that--
                    (i) Mexican motor carriers with three or 
                fewer commercial vehicles need not undergo on-
                site safety examination; however 50 percent of 
                all safety examinations of all Mexican motor 
                carriers shall be conducted onsite; and
                    (ii) such on-site inspections shall cover 
                at least 50 percent of estimated truck traffic 
                in any year.
            (2) requires a full safety compliance review of the 
        carrier consistent with the safety fitness evaluation 
        procedures set forth in part 385 of title 49, Code of 
        Federal Regulations, and gives the motor carrier a 
        satisfactory rating, before the carrier is granted 
        permanent operating authority to operate beyond United 
        States municipalities and commercial zones on the 
        United States-Mexico border, and requires that any such 
        safety compliance review take place within 18 months of 
        that motor carrier being granted conditional operating 
        authority, provided that;
                    (A) Mexican motor carriers with three or 
                fewer commercial vehicles need not undergo 
                onsite compliance review; however 50 percent of 
                all compliance reviews of all Mexican motor 
                carriers shall be conducted on-site; and
                    (B) any Mexican motor carrier with 4 or 
                more commercial vehicles that did not undergo 
                an on-site safety exam under (a)(1)(C), shall 
                undergo an on-site safety compliance review 
                under this section.
            (3) requires Federal and State inspectors to verify 
        electronically the status and validity of the license 
        of each driver of a Mexican motor carrier commercial 
        vehicle crossing the border;
                    (A) for every such vehicle carrying a 
                placardable quantity of hazardous materials;
                    (B) whenever the inspection required in 
                subsection (a)(5) is performed; and
                    (C) randomly for other Mexican motor 
                carrier commercial vehicles, but in no case 
                less than 50 percent of all other such 
                commercial vehicles.
            (4) gives a distinctive Department of 
        Transportation number to each Mexican motor carrier 
        operating beyond the commercial zone to assist 
        inspectors in enforcing motor carrier safety 
        regulations including hours-of-service rules under part 
        395 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations;
            (5) requires, with the exception of Mexican motor 
        carriers that have been granted permanent operating 
        authority for three consecutive years--
                    (A) inspections of all commercial vehicles 
                of Mexican motor carriers authorized, or 
                seeking authority to operate beyond United 
                States municipalities and commercial zones on 
                the United States-Mexico border that do not 
                display a valid Commercial Vehicle Safety 
                Alliance inspection decal, by certified 
                inspectors in accordance with the requirements 
                for a Level I Inspection under the criteria of 
                the North American Standard Inspection (as 
                defined in section 350.105 of title 49, Code of 
                Federal Regulations), including examination of 
                the driver, vehicle exterior and vehicle under-
                carriage;
                    (B) a Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance 
                decal to be affixed to each such commercial 
                vehicle upon completion of the inspection 
                required by clause (A) or a re-inspection if 
                the vehicle has met the criteria for the Level 
                I inspection; and
                    (C) that any such decal, when affixed, 
                expire at the end of a period of not more than 
                90 days, but nothing in this paragraph shall be 
                construed to preclude the Administration from 
                requiring reinspection of a vehicle bearing a 
                valid inspection decal or from requiring that 
                such a decal be removed when a certified 
                Federal or State inspector determines that such 
                a vehicle has a safety violation subsequent to 
                the inspection for which the decal was granted.
            (6) requires State inspectors who detect violations 
        of Federal motor carrier safety laws or regulations to 
        enforce them or notify Federal authorities of such 
        violations;
            (7)(A) equips all United States-Mexico commercial 
        border crossings with scales suitable for enforcement 
        action; equips 5 of the 10 such crossings that have the 
        highest volume of commercial vehicle traffic with 
        weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems; ensures that the 
        remaining 5 such border crossings are equipped within 
        12 months; requires inspectors to verify the weight of 
        each Mexican motor carrier commercial vehicle entering 
        the United States at said WIM equipped high volume 
        border crossings; and
            (B) initiates a study to determine which other 
        crossings should also be equipped with weigh-in-motion 
        systems;
            (8) the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration 
        has implemented a policy to ensure that no Mexican 
        motor carrier will be granted authority to operate 
        beyond United States municipalities and commercial 
        zones on the United States-Mexico border unless that 
        carrier provides proof of valid insurance with an 
        insurance company licensed in the United States;
            (9) requires commercial vehicles operated by a 
        Mexican motor carrier to enter the United States only 
        at commercial border crossings where and when a 
        certified motor carrier safety inspector is on duty and 
        where adequate capacity exists to conduct a sufficient 
        number of meaningful vehicle safety inspections and to 
        accommodate vehicles placed out-of-service as a result 
        of said inspections.
            (10) publishes--

                United States-Mexico border;
                    (E) the information infrastructure of the 
                Mexican government is sufficiently accurate, 
                accessible, and integrated with that of U.S. 
                law enforcement authorities to allow U.S. 
                authorities to verify the status and validity 
                of licenses, vehicle registrations, operating 
                authority and insurance of Mexican motor 
                carriers while operating in the United States, 
                and that adequate telecommunications links 
                exist at all United States-Mexico border 
                crossings used by Mexican motor carrier 
                commercial vehicles, and in all mobile 
                enforcement units operating adjacent to the 
                border, to ensure that licenses, vehicle 
                registrations, operating authority and 
                insurance information can be easily and quickly 
                verified at border crossings or by mobile 
                enforcement units;
                    (F) there is adequate capacity at each 
                United States-Mexico border crossing used by

                conduct a sufficient number of meaningful 
                vehicle safety inspections and to accommodate 
                vehicles placed out-of-service as a result of 
                said inspections;
                    (G) there is an accessible database 
                containing sufficiently comprehensive data to 
                allow safety monitoring of all Mexican motor 
                carriers that apply for authority to operate 
                commercial vehicles beyond United States 
                municipalities and commercial zones on the 
                United States-Mexico border and the drivers of 
                those vehicles; and
                    (H) measures are in place to enable U.S. 
                law enforcement authorities to ensure the 
                effective enforcement and monitoring of license 
                revocation and licensing procedures of Mexican 
                motor carriers.
            (2) The Secretary of Transportation certifies in 
        writing in a manner addressing the Inspector General's 
        findings in paragraphs (c)(1)(A) through (c)(1)(H) of 
        this section that the opening of the border does not 
        pose an unacceptable safety risk to the American 
        public.
    (d) The Department of Transportation Inspector General 
shall conduct another review using the criteria in (c)(1)(A) 
through (c)(1)(H) consistent with paragraph (c) of this 
section, 180 days after the first review is completed, and at 
least annually thereafter.
    (e) For purposes of this section, the term ``Mexican motor 
carrier'' shall be defined as a Mexico-domiciled motor carrier 
operating beyond United States municipalities and commercial 
zones on the United States-Mexico border.
    (f) In addition to amounts otherwise made available in this 
Act, to be derived from the Highway Trust Fund, there is hereby 
appropriated to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 
Administration, $25,866,000 for the salary, expense, and 
capital costs associated with the requirements of this section.
    Sec. 351. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for 
the purpose of calculating the non-federal contribution to the 
net project cost of the Regional Transportation Commission 
Resort Corridor Fixed Guideway Project in Clark County, Nevada, 
the Secretary of Transportation shall include all non-federal 
contributions (whether public or private) made on or after 
January 1, 2000 for engineering, final design, and construction 
of any element or phase of the project, including any fixed 
guideway project or segment connecting to that project, and 
also shall allow non-federal funds (whether public or private) 
expended on one element or phase of the project to be used to 
meet the non-federal share requirement of any element or phase 
of the project.
    Sec. 352. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following 
findings:
            (1) The condition of highway, railway, and waterway 
        infrastructure across the Nation varies widely and is 
        in need of improvement and investment.
            (2) Thousands of tons of hazardous materials, 
        including a very small amount of high-level radioactive 
        material, are transported along the Nation's highways, 
        railways, and waterways each year.
            (3) The volume of hazardous material transport 
        increased by over one-third in the last 25 years and is 
        expected to continue to increase. Some propose 
        significantly increasing radioactive material 
        transport.
            (4) Approximately 261,000 people were evacuated 
        across the Nation because of rail-related incidents 
        involving hazardous materials between 1978 and 1995, 
        and during that period industry reported 8 
        transportation accidents involving the small volume of 
        high level radioactive waste transported during that 
        period.
            (5) The Federal Railroad Administration has 
        significantly decreased railroad inspections and has 
        allocated few resources since 1993 to assure the 
        structural integrity of railroad bridges. Train 
        derailments have increased by 18 percent over roughly 
        the same period.
            (6) The poor condition of highway, railway, and 
        waterway infrastructure, increases in the volume of 
        hazardous material transport, and proposed increases in 
        radioactive material transport increase the risk of 
        incidents involving such materials.
            (7) Measuring the risks of hazardous or radioactive 
        material incidents and preventing such incidents 
        requires specific information concerning the condition 
        and suitability of specific transportation routes 
        contemplated for such transport to inform and enable 
        investment in related infrastructure.
            (8) Mitigating the impact of hazardous and 
        radioactive material transportation incidents requires 
        skilled, localized, and well-equipped emergency 
        response personnel along all specifically identified 
        transportation routes.
            (9) Incidents involving hazardous or radioactive 
        material transport pose threats to the public health 
        and safety, the environment, and the economy.
    (b) Study.--The Secretary of Transportation shall, in 
consultation with the Comptroller General of the United States, 
conduct a study of the effects to public health and safety, the 
environment, and the economy associated with the transportation 
of hazardous and radioactive material.
    (c) Matters to be Addressed.--The study under subsection 
(b) shall address the following matters:
            (1) Whether the Federal Government conducts or 
        reviews individualized and detailed evaluations and 
        inspections of the condition and suitability of 
        specific transportation routes for the current, and any 
        anticipated or proposed, transport of hazardous and 
        radioactive material, including whether resources and 
        information are adequate to conduct such evaluations 
        and inspections.
            (2) The costs and time required to ensure adequate 
        inspection of specific transportation routes and 
        related infrastructure and to complete the 
        infrastructure improvements necessary to ensure the 
        safety of current, and any anticipated or proposed, 
        hazardous and radioactive material transport.

        JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

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

                        Congressional Directives

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

                     Program, Project, and Activity

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

                                TITLE I

                      DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

                        Office of the Secretary

                         Salaries and Expenses

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

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

      The conferees direct the office of the secretary to 
submit its congressional justification materials in support of 
the individual offices of the offices of the secretary at the 
same level of detail provided in the congressional 
justifications presented in fiscal year 2002.
      Bill language, as proposed by both the House and the 
Senate, allows the Department to spend up to $60,000 for 
official reception and representation activities.
      The conference agreement modifies bill language that was 
contained in both the House and the Senate bills that credits 
to this appropriation up to $2,500,000 in funds received in 
user fees by excluding fees authorized in Public Law 107-71.
      Aviation consumer hotline.--The conference agreement 
includes $720,000 for the Department's Aviation Consumer 
Protection Division's consumer hotline. The conferees note that 
a hotline for consumer complaints currently exists in the 
Office of the General Counsel. However, the phone line is 
understaffed, leaving many consumers frustrated when a phone 
recording is the only place to register a complaint. This can 
cause considerable hardship for individuals with disabilities 
who may have travel complaints that warrant immediate 
attention. The conferees direct that these funds are to be used 
to establish a 1-800 disability inquiry line that is staffed 
from 7:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. each day.
      Study of air travel services.--The conferees are 
interested in the impact the joint entry of suppliers of air 
travel services into the market for direct distribution has had 
to date on consumers, airline competition, and ticket prices.
      Accordingly, the conferees request the Office of the 
Assistant Secretary for Aviation and International Affairs 
report on its monitoring efforts pursuant to the launch of the 
joint airline distribution ventures. The report should address, 
at a minimum, the following issues raised by the Department as 
potential concerns related to such ventures:
            Deviations from plans, policies, and procedures 
        initially proposed in the joint venture's business plan 
        and contained in its charter associate agreements;
            The extent to which the joint venture has adhered 
        to its commitment to not bias displays of fares or 
        services;
            The extent to which ties between the airline-owners 
        and the ``Most Favored Nation'' clause in the charter 
        agreement have resulted in monopolistic or other anti-
        competitive market behavior; and
            Whether airline-owners of the joint ventures or 
        charter associates have acted in an anti-competitive 
        manner by choosing not to distribute fares through 
        other online distribution outlets.
      The conferees request the Office of Aviation and 
International Affairs to submit its findings to the DOT 
Inspector General's office no later than April 1, 2002, for its 
evaluation and comment. The House and Senate Transportation 
Appropriations Subcommittees request the Inspector General to 
report on these findings no later than 90 days after receiving 
the findings from the Office of Aviation and International 
Affairs.
      Reorganization.--The conferees are aware that 
consideration is being given to a reorganization of functions 
and offices within the office of the secretary and the 
department is in the process of establishing the new 
Transportation Security Administration. The conferees expect 
that any transfer of functions or reorganization must be 
formally approved by the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations through the regular reprogramming process.
      Administrative directions.--The conferees direct the 
department to submit its annual congressional justifications 
for each modal administration to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on the date on which the 
President's budget is delivered officially to Congress.
      Assessments.--The conferees direct that assessments 
charged by the office of the secretary to modal administrations 
should be for administrative activities, not policy 
initiatives. The conferees have seen violations of this 
direction in fiscal year 2001 and will not tolerate further 
problems.

                         Office of Civil Rights

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

                 Transportation Security Administration

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

           Transportation Planning, Research, and Development

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

Northeast advanced vehicle consortium...................      $2,600,000
WestStart's vehicular flywheel project in the Pacific 
    Northwest...........................................       1,000,000
International ferry service from Blaine, WA to White 
    Rock, B.C...........................................         200,000
North Dakota State University system planning and 
    resource management.................................         150,000
Auburn University, AL campus transit study..............         375,000
Bypass mail system computer software and hardware 
    upgrades in Alaska..................................       2,075,000
North Puget Sound intermodal center planning study......         400,000

              Transportation Administrative Service Center

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

               Minority Business Resource Center Program

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

                       Minority Business Outreach

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

                        Payments to Air Carriers

                    (Airport and Airway Trust Fund)

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

                              Coast Guard

                           Operating Expenses

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

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

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

      Aviation depot maintenance.--The conferees agree that the 
Coast Guard should work toward developing full and open 
competition for aviation depot maintenance services of C-130 
aircraft as soon as possible, but no later than fiscal year 
2003.
      Marine Fire and Safety Association.--The conferees remain 
supportive of efforts by the Marine Fire and Safety Association 
(MFSA) to provide specialized firefighting training and retain 
an oil spill response contingency plan for the Columbia River. 
The conferees direct the Secretary to provide $255,000 to 
continue efforts by the nonprofit organization comprised of 
numerous fire departments on both sides of the Columbia River. 
The funding will be utilized to provide specialized 
communications, firefighting training and equipment, and to 
implement the oil spill response contingency plan for the 
Columbia River.
      Lighthouse conveyances.--The conference agreement 
includes sufficient funding to complete the conveyance of 
several Coast Guard lighthouse properties and improvements, as 
authorized under Public Law 105-383, that have not been 
transferred. The conferees expect the Coast Guard to convey the 
remaining authorized lighthouse properties not later than the 
end of fiscal year 2002. If the Commandant determines, by June 
31, 2002, that the Coast Guard is unable to complete any of the 
conveyances in the coming fiscal year, the conferees direct the 
Commandant to submit a report to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations within fifteen days of that 
decision explaining the reasons why each property has not been 
transferred and providing an estimated date of completion of 
that transfer.

              Acquisition, Construction, and Improvements

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


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

              acquisition, construction, and improvements

                             (rescissions)

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

                environmental compliance and restoration

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

                         alteration of bridges

      The conference agreement includes $15,466,000 for 
alteration of bridges deemed hazardous to marine navigation as 
proposed by the House and Senate. The conference agreement 
distributes these funds as follows:
                                                              Conference
        Bridge and location                                    agreement
New Orleans, LA, Florida Avenue RR/HW Bridge..................$3,250,000
Brunswick, GA, Sidney Lanier Highway Bridge................... 1,600,000
Charleston, SC, Limehouse Bridge.............................. 1,100,000
Mobile, AL, Fourteen Mile Bridge.............................. 5,741,000
Morris, IL, EJ&E Railroad Bridge.............................. 1,525,000
Galveston, TX, Galveston Causeway.............................   500,000
Boston, MA, Chelsea Street Bridge............................. 1,750,000
                    --------------------------------------------------------
                    ____________________________________________________
      Total.............................................      15,466,000

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

                              retired pay

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

                            reserve training

                     (including transfer of funds)

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

              Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation

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

                    Federal Aviation Administration

                               operations

      The conference agreement provides $6,886,000,000 for 
operating expenses of the Federal Aviation Administration 
instead of $6,870,000,000 as proposed by the House and 
$6,916,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. These funds are in 
addition to amounts made available as a mandatory appropriation 
of user fees in the Federal Aviation Administration 
Reauthorization Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-264). Of the total 
amount provided, $5,773,519,000 is to be derived from the 
airport and airway trust fund, consistent with Public Law 106-
181. The total funding provided is $341,765,000 (5.2 percent) 
above the fiscal year 2001 enacted level and is the maximum 
amount authorized. The bill specifies amounts by budget 
activity, as proposed by the House, continuing a practice 
initiated in fiscal year 2001.
      Aeronautical charting and cartography.--The conference 
agreement includes language proposed by the House prohibiting 
funds for any aeronautical charting and cartography activities 
conducted by, or coordinated through, the Transportation 
Administrative Service Center.
      User fees.--The conference agreement modifies language 
proposed by the House prohibiting funds to plan, finalize, or 
implement new user fees not specifically authorized by 
Congress. The agreement prohibits funds only for the 
finalization or implementation of new, unauthorized fees.
      Use of credit hours.--The conferees direct FAA to 
discontinue the granting of credit hours, or related benefits, 
in the settlement of union grievances until the OST office of 
general counsel, working with legal counsel of the FAA and OIG, 
determines in writing that such practice is consistent with the 
1998 collective bargaining agreement with the National Air 
Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) and other existing 
labor agreements. Once this determination is made, the 
Secretary is requested to make its finding available to the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. The House 
proposed a prohibition on the granting of credit hours for the 
settlement of union grievances during fiscal year 2002.
      Travel policy.--The conferees do not agree with House 
direction prohibiting FAA from changing its travel policy 
regarding per diem payments for extended temporary duty 
assignments. The conferees understand that FAA has modified its 
travel policies to address findings of the DOT Inspector 
General in this area.
      Personnel reform.--The conferees direct the Administrator 
to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, 
not later than January 15, 2002, on how the agency has 
implemented, and/or plans to implement, the Senate directive 
regarding personnel reform.
      Airspace redesign.--The conference agreement includes 
$12,500,000 for the New York/New Jersey airspace redesign, as 
proposed by the Senate, instead of $8,500,000 proposed by the 
House.
      Restoration of air traffic supervisors.--The conference 
agreement restores $5,000,000 of the proposed reductions in air 
traffic supervisor staffing included in the President's budget. 
The budget proposed a reduction of $5,400,000 due to planned 
expansion of the controller-in-charge (CIC) concept. In 
restoring these positions, the conferees agree with the 
position of the House that supervisory levels should not be 
reduced further at this time.
      National airspace system (NAS) handoff.--The conference 
agreement provides $7,600,000 in this appropriation and 
$51,006,100 in ``Facilities and equipment'' (F&E) for second 
year maintenance costs for newly commissioned equipment under 
the National airspace system (NAS) handoff program. The 
President's budget included $76,400,000 under F&E for this 
purpose. The conferees believe it is inconsistent with the 
principles of existing authorizing legislation to fund these 
costs under F&E. In all budget submissions through fiscal year 
2001, costs to operate and maintain such systems after the 
first year of operation were to transition to FAA's operating 
budget. However, due to operating budget pressures, this year 
the Administration proposed to shift the second year of such 
costs to the F&E appropriation. These are, in effect, operating 
costs transferred to a capital appropriation. While the 
conferees note that Public Law 106-181 significantly raised F&E 
funding, it did so with an understanding that those additional 
funds would be used for capital costs and not to cover 
shortfalls in a constrained operating budget. The conferees 
believe that FAA needs to live within its authorized funding 
levels for operations without program shifts of this nature.
      GPS non-precision approaches.--The conference agreement 
includes $5,000,000 to increase the number of GPS non-precision 
instrument approaches developed and published for airports that 
are not part 139 certificated, and to develop GPS routes to 
help supplement the current airway route system. These routes 
will provide important safety and other benefits to general 
aviation pilots, including increased access to currently 
inaccessible airports. In that regard, the conferees direct FAA 
to assure that the GPS instrument approaches provide the 
necessary procedural information known as LNAV/VNAV minima, to 
enable their use by pilots in obtaining guidance to the runway 
once the wide area augmentation system is in place.
      Aviation safety reporting system.--The conferees are 
aware that the NASA's aviation safety reporting system (ASRS) 
is a critical component of our aviation safety system. The 
success of ASRS lies in its ability to offer confidentiality 
and limited immunity to those who submit reports on 
unintentional violations of federal aviation regulations. The 
conferees direct the FAA to work to meet the goal of funding 
ASRS at $3,400,000 in fiscal year 2002.
      The following table compares the conference agreement to 
the levels proposed in the House and Senate bills by budget 
activity:


                         Facilities and Equipment

                    (Airport and Airway Trust Fund)

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


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

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

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

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

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

      Bulk explosive detection systems.--Given the current 
security situation and requirements in the recently enacted 
Aviation and Transportation Security Act for improved baggage 
screening, orders for bulk explosive detection systems (EDS) 
are expected to grow substantially. Section 110 of the Aviation 
and Transportation Security Act requires that systems be in 
operation to screen all checked baggage at airports in the 
United States as soon as practicable, but not later than the 
sixty days following enactment of that Act. Although this 
provision allows the use of manual or canine searches to 
supplement electronic screening as an interim measure, to 
minimize the intrusiveness and inefficiency of this procedure, 
the Act also requires the Undersecretary of Transportation for 
Security to ensure that EDS systems are deployed as soon as 
possible to ensure that airports have the equipment necessary 
to electronically screen all checked baggage no later than 
December 31, 2002. Given these requirements, it is imperative 
for the Federal Government to ensure the continued viability of 
competition for these systems, which has been a struggle over 
the past few years. Therefore, the conferees do not agree with 
direction proposed by the House, but instead direct FAA to take 
all necessary actions to maintain two certified manufacturers 
of bulk explosive detection systems within the United States. 
In addition, implementation of these systems has been plagued 
by FAA's inability to specify maintenance requirements such as 
mean time between failure and mean time to restore the system 
after a failure occurs. Without such guidance, vendors cannot 
design their systems to meet the operational needs of screening 
forces at our nation's airports. In order to address this issue 
as quickly as possible, the conferees direct FAA to develop 
specifications for reliability, maintainability, and 
availability for bulk EDS systems over the coming year and 
include them in solicitations for the further acquisition of 
these systems.
      Trace explosive detection systems.--The conferees 
understand that new non-intrusive screening technology for the 
detection of explosives carried by passengers is now ready for 
deployment after careful and thorough evaluation by the FAA. 
This commercially available technology, funded by the FAA, 
builds on existing trace detection instrument capacities 
already in use protecting airport passengers, the military, 
U.S. embassies, and commercial nuclear power plants. The 
conferees urge FAA to accelerate deployment of new non-
intrusive screening technologies to airports, to address the 
threat of explosives carriage on board commercial aircraft.
      Model guidelines for encoded data on driver's licenses.--
In light of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, it is 
clear that all levels of government need to work in concert to 
deter and prevent future attacks. One means of doing so is to 
ensure that individuals asked to identify themselves are not 
using false identities. The increasing availability through the 
internet of expertly crafted false identification makes the 
task very difficult. The conferees are aware of technology, 
existing today, that can quickly scan any encoded data on the 
reverse of a driver's license to validate the license as 
legitimately issued. By reviewing personal data encoded on the 
license, it can also be used to assist in making a quick 
determination that the person displaying the license is the 
person to whom it was issued. The conferees strongly encourage 
the department to consider the development of model guidelines 
specifying the types of encoded data that should be placed on 
driver's licenses for security purposes, and to work in concert 
with states and related licensing bodies toward the early 
implementation of such measures. This could benefit the 
nation's efforts to improve security as well as assist in 
reducing fraud and underage drinking.
      Document and biometric scanning technologies.--Document 
and biometric scanners linked to federal databases by computers 
and containing advanced authentication capabilities would 
facilitate the processing of background checks, provide 
fingerprint and additional biometric identification 
capabilities, and authenticate documents presented for 
identification. It is the conferees' understanding that such 
off the shelf, commercially available technology is in use or 
being tested by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The 
conferees encourage FAA to assess such document and biometric 
scanning technologies for use at all commercial service 
airports. The conferees also recommend that the Secretary 
implement standards to make use of technologies that quickly 
and inexpensively assess the daily fitness-for-duty of airport 
security screeners with respect to impairment due to illegal 
drugs, sleep deprivation, legal medications, and alcohol.
      Fingerprint identification technologies.--The conferees 
are aware of the promise of forensic-quality fingerprint and 
palmprint identification technologies for the rapid 
verification of identities and employee background checks. The 
Aviation and Transportation Security Act requires the 
department to investigate the application of biometric 
technologies such as these off the shelf systems. The conferees 
encourage FAA and the Transportation Security Administration to 
evaluate these technologies for their immediate application to 
aviation security missions.
      Lambert St. Louis International Airport, MO.--In order 
for the new 9000 foot commercial runway at Lambert St. Louis 
International Airport to open as scheduled in 2005, the airport 
must have a mobile ASR-9 Radar Unit moved to St. Louis in 2002. 
FAA has previously committed to St. Louis to carry out this 
relocation. The conferees direct FAA to honor this commitment 
thereby allowing FAA sufficient time to relocate the existing 
ASR-9 radar to a new site by early 2003 in order to accommodate 
the navigational aide requirements of the new runway.

                              (rescission)

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

                 research, engineering, and development

                    (airport and airway trust fund)

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


      System planning and resource management.--The conferees 
do not agree with Senate direction on this program. Funds for 
this activity have been provided under Office of the Secretary, 
``Transportation planning, research, and development''.
      Propulsion and fuel systems.--Of the funds provided, 
$2,000,000 is for the Specialty Metals Processing Consortium, 
$1,000,000 is for research into the use of blended aviation 
fuels containing at least 80 percent ethanol, and $400,000 is 
for the General Aviation Propulsion-Compression Ignition Test 
and Evaluation Program (GAP-CITEP), a joint FAA-NASA effort to 
evaluate alternative fuels to facilitate the transition away 
from leaded fuels for general aviation aircraft.
      Flight safety/atmospheric hazards research.--As proposed 
by the Senate, the conferees agree to provide funding for the 
joint industry-university aviation safety initiative at Roswell 
Industrial Air Center in New Mexico, and agree to Senate 
direction on this program. The conferees stipulate that the 
funding is intended for start-up costs, and that this activity 
should work to reach a self-sufficient funding level, without 
Federal support, once the activity has begun operations.
      Weather.--Of the funds provided, $4,000,000 is for wake 
turbulence research, instead of $5,000,000 proposed by the 
Senate.
      Aging aircraft.--The conference agreement provides 
$32,000,000 for this program instead of $32,111,000 as proposed 
by the House and $31,911,000 as proposed by the Senate. Of the 
funds provided, the conferees agree to the following 
allocations:
                                                              Conference
        Activity                                               agreement
National Institute for Aviation Research................      $4,200,000
Center for Aviation System Reliability..................       3,000,000
Aircraft Nondestructive Inspection Validation Center....       3,000,000
Engine Titanium Consortium..............................       3,600,000
Airworthiness Assurance Center of Excellence............       4,600,000

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

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

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


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

                       Grants-In-Aid for Airports

                 (Rescission of Contract Authorization)

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

                   Aviation Insurance Revolving Fund

      The conference agreement retains language authorizing 
expenditures and investments from the Aviation Insurance 
Revolving Fund for aviation insurance activities, as proposed

to title III of the bill (general provisions). This provision 
has been carried in appropriations Acts for many years.

                Small Community Air Service Development

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

                     Federal Highway Administration

                 LIMITATION ON ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

      The conference agreement limits administrative expenses 
of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to $311,000,000, 
instead of $311,837,000 as proposed by the House and 
$316,521,000 as proposed by the Senate.
      The conference agreement provides that certain sums be 
made available under section 104(a)(1)(A) of title 23, U.S.C. 
to carry out specified activities as follows: $7,500,000 shall

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

                          FEDERAL-AID HIGHWAYS

      The conference agreement limits obligations for the 
federal-aid highways program to $31,799,104,000 instead of

year over 700 people are killed in work zones throughout our 
nation. The conferees are aware that the Federal Highway 
Administration has collaborated with the Texas transportation 
institute (TTI) to establish the national work zone safety 
information clearinghouse. The clearinghouse serves as a 
valuable resource in the development and distribution of work 
zone safety materials for state and local agencies. The 
conferees are aware that TTI has proposed a work zone safety 
research program that seeks to improve data collection in an 
effort to better manage the dangers of roadway work zones. The 
conferees encourage the Federal Highway Administration to 
evaluate TTI's proposals and consider requesting funding in 
future budget submissions.
      Environmental streamlining pilot projects.--The conferees 
direct the Secretary of Transportation to give priority 
consideration to funding for Washington State's environmental 
permit streamlining program using funds provided for 
environmental streamlining initiatives under this Act. The 
conferees expect the regional administrators of the Federal 
Highway Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, 
the National Marine Fisheries Service, the U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to serve on 
the Washington State transportation permit efficiency and 
accountability committee as non-voting members. The Secretary 
shall issue a report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations, the Senate Committee of Environment and Public 
Works, and the House Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure by April 1, 2002, on the status of this pilot 
program. The Conferees further direct the Secretary to give

$110,000,000 provided, the conferees allocate the following 
amounts:

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

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

                 NATIONAL MOTOR CARRIER SAFETY PROGRAM

                (LIQUIDATION OF CONTRACT AUTHORIZATION)

                          (HIGHWAY TRUST FUND)

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

                 NATIONAL MOTOR CARRIER SAFETY PROGRAM

                      (LIMITATION ON OBLIGATIONS)

                          (HIGHWAY TRUST FUND)

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

             National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

                        Operations and Research

      The conference agreement provides $127,780,000 from the 
general fund for highway and traffic safety activities instead 
of $122,420,000 as proposed by the House and $132,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate.
      A total of $95,835,000 shall remain available until 
September 30, 2004 instead of $90,430,000 as proposed by the 
House and $96,360,000 as proposed by the Senate.
      Bill language is included that rescinds $1,516,000 in 
unobligated balances authorized under 23 U.S.C. 403 as proposed 
by the Senate. The House bill contained no similar rescission.
      The agreement includes a provision carried since fiscal 
year 1996 that prohibits NHTSA from obligating or expending 
funds to plan, finalize, or implement any rulemakings that 
would add requirements pertaining to tire grading standards 
that are not related to safety performance. This provision was 
contained in both the House and Senate bills.

                        Operations and Research

                (Liquidation of Contract Authorization)

                       (Limitation on Obligation)

                          (Highway Trust Fund)

            (Including Rescission of Contract Authorization)

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

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

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

                        National Driver Register

                          (Highway Trust Fund)

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

                     Highway Traffic Safety Grants

                (Liquidation of Contract Authorization)

                          (Highway Trust Fund)

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

                     highway traffic safety grants

                       (limitation on obligation)

                          (Highway Trust Fund)

      The conference agreement limits obligations for highway 
traffic safety grants to $223,000,000 as proposed by both the 
House and the Senate. The bill includes separate obligation 
limitations with the following funding allocations:

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

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

                    Federal Railroad Administration

                         Safety and Operations

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

                   Railroad Research and Development

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

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

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

            Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Program

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

                    Next Generation High-Speed Rail

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

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

    Greensburgh-Pittsburgh..............................     (1,250,000)
                    --------------------------------------------------------
                    ____________________________________________________
      Total.............................................      32,300,000

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

                                                              Conference
High-speed rail corridor between Mobile, AL and New 
    Orleans, LA.........................................      $2,000,000
High-speed rail corridor between Stuyvesant and 
    Rennselaer, NY......................................       1,500,000
Richland County, SC.....................................         800,000
Richmond, VA............................................         250,000
Van Nuys, CA............................................         200,000
High-speed rail corridor between Minneapolis/St. Paul, 
    MN and Chicago, IL (TEA21)..........................         250,000
High-speed rail corridor between Milwaukee and Madison, 
    WI..................................................         250,000

                     Alaska Railroad Rehabilitation

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

          National Rail Development and Rehabilitation Program

      The conference agreement deletes funding for the national 
rail development and rehabilitation program. The Senate 
included $12,000,000 for this new program. The House bill 
contained no similar provision.

     Capital Grants to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation

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

                     Federal Transit Administration

                        Administrative Expenses

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

                             Formula Grants

                     (including transfer of funds)

      The conference agreement provides a total program level 
of $3,592,000,000 for transit formula grants, as proposed by 
both the House and the Senate. Within this total, the 
conference agreement appropriates $718,400,000 from the general 
fund as proposed by both the House and the Senate. The 
conference agreement provides that the general fund 
appropriation shall be available until expended.
      The conference agreement provides that funding made 
available under the clean fuels formula grant program under 
this heading shall be transferred to and merged with funding 
provided for the replacement, rehabilitation, and purchase of 
buses and related equipment and the construction of bus-related

      The conference agreement provides a total program level

$1,136,400,000 provided in this Act for new starts, the

      Three year availability of section 5309 discretionary 
funds.--The conferees direct the FTA to reprogram funds from 
recoveries and previous appropriations that remain available 
after three years and are available for reallocation to only 
those new starts that have full funding grant agreements in 
place on the date of enactment of this Act, and with respect to 
bus and bus facilities, only to those bus and bus facilities 
projects identified in the accompanying reports of the fiscal 
year 2002 Department of Transportation and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act. The FTA shall notify the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations 15 days prior to any such proposed 
reallocation. The conferees, however, direct the FTA not to 
reallocate funds provided in the 1998 and 1999 Department of

discretion of the administrator, such funds are extended only 
for one additional year, absent further congressional 
direction.
      Bus and bus facilities.--The conference agreement 
provides $568,200,000, together with $50,000,000 transferred 
from ``Federal Transit Administration, formula grants'' and 
merged with funding under this heading, for the replacement, 
rehabilitation and purchase of buses and related equipment and

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

                                                              Conference

program, the conference agreement provides $750,000 for the 
office of pipeline safety and state training, and adequate 
funds to interpret pigging data submitted by industry, to 
witness new construction of pipelines, and to develop improved 
information systems needed to monitor and evaluate industry 
data supplied to OPS.
      Within the funds provided for the research and 
development, the conference agreement provides $600,000 for 
airborne environmental laser mapping technology research and 
engineering to support improved leak detection, analysis, and 
response by Federal, state, and industry pipeline safety

      State of Washington.--The conferees direct that of the 
unobligated fiscal year 2001 funds for the Washington State 
pipeline safety program, which is estimated at $800,000, be 
obligated in fiscal year 2002 as soon as possible.

                     emergency preparedness grants

                     (emergency preparedness fund)

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

                      office of inspector general

                         salaries and expenses

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

                      Surface Transportation Board

                         salaries and expenses

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

                  bureau of transportation statistics

                     office of airline information

                    (airport and airway trust fund)

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

                                TITLE II

                            RELATED AGENCIES

       Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board

                         salaries and expenses

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

                  National Transportation Safety Board

                         Salaries and Expenses

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

specialized facilities to enter into joint public-private 
partnerships and other cooperative arrangements for the 
performance of work which includes allowing the Coast Guard to 
pay and receive funds, materials, services and the use of 
facilities from such public and private entities. The Senate

announced by the department or its modal administration as 
proposed by both the House and Senate.
      Sec. 333 prohibits funds for design or construction of a

the FAA for air traffic control facilities.
      Sec. 336 includes the Senate provision that provides 
funds to administer motor carrier safety programs and motor 
carrier safety research by allowing the Secretary, as the

Transportation; and requires the States to report to the 
Secretary on the use of such funds for public service messages. 
Sec. 339 also modifies the Senate provision to require that 
$8,000,000 of the funds provided for innovative seat belt 
projects (section 157 of title 23, United States Code) be used

enforcement efforts during one or more of the Operation ABC 
national mobilizations; and requires that up to $2,000,000 of 
the funds provided for innovative seat belt projects be used by 
the Secretary to evaluate the effectiveness of State seat belt 
programs that purchase such advertising. The Senate proposed 
that $15,000,000 designated for innovative grant funds be used 
for national television and radio advertising to support the 
national law enforcement mobilizations conducted in all 50 
states aimed at increasing safety belt and child safety seat 
use and controlling drunk driving. The House proposed no 
similar proposal on funding.

of Transportation to approve assessments or reimbursable 
agreements pertaining to funds appropriated to the modal 
administrations in this Act, unless such assessments or

Senate.
      Sec. 343 amends item 1793 in the table contained in 
section 1602 of Public Law 105-178 to redesignate such project

funds for Coast Guard Acquisition, construction, and 
improvements after the fifteenth day of any quarter of any

on Appropriations on all major Coast Guard acquisition 
projects. The House proposed no similar provision.
      Sec. 349 reduces transportation administrative service 
center funds by $5,000,000 instead of reducing funds by 
$37,000,000 and limiting fiscal year 2002 obligations to no 
more than $120,323,000 instead of limiting obligations to no 
more than $88,323,000 as proposed by the Senate. The House 
proposed no similar provision.
      Sec. 350. The conference agreement modifies provisions 
proposed by the House and Senate regarding the safety of cross-

applications by Mexico-domiciled motor carriers to operate in 
the interior of the United States, beyond the commercial zones 
adjacent to the U.S.-Mexican border. The Senate proposed to 
condition the use of funds to process applications upon the 
certification by officials of the Department of Transportation 
that specific safety-related requirements had been met and upon 
promulgation in final form of related regulations. The 
conference agreement includes multiple provisions which, among 
other things:
      1. Require safety examinations by the DOT of all Mexican 
motor carriers before they are granted conditional operating 
authority. Fifty percent of all such examinations are to be 
conducted on-site, and on-site examinations are to cover at 
least fifty percent of carriers and 50 percent of estimated 
truck traffic in a given year. An exemption from the on-site 
requirement is provided for Mexican motor carriers with three 
or fewer commercial vehicles. However, such carriers may be 
subject to on-site examinations or reviews at the discretion of 
the DOT;
      2. Require a full safety compliance review--and a 
satisfactory rating resulting from that review--before any 
Mexican motor carrier can be granted permanent operating 
authority. Provisions that require on-site performance of 
safety examinations also apply to compliance reviews. Any 
carrier that has not received an on-site safety examination 
must undergo an on-site compliance review. The result of this 
provision is that every Mexican motor carrier operating four or 
more commercial vehicles and applying for cross-border 
authority, will be required to undergo at least one safety or 
compliance review conducted on-site at the carrier's place of 
business in Mexico before permanent operating authority is 
granted;
      3. Require Federal and State inspectors at the border to 
electronically verify the validity of driver's license of every 
driver carrying a placardable quantity of hazardous material, 
every driver undergoing a Level I safety inspection, and at 
least 50 percent of all other Mexican motor carrier drivers 
crossing the border;
      4. Require all Mexican motor carriers granted authority 
to operate in the United States to display a Commercial Vehicle 
Safety Alliance decal verifying satisfactory completion of a 
safety inspection. These vehicles must undergo safety 
inspections at least every 90 days in order to display such a 
decal. This requirement will no longer apply to a carrier once 
that carrier has operated for three consecutive years under 
permanent operating authority;
      5. Require that the 10 highest volume border crossings be 
equipped with weigh-in motion systems and that inspectors 
verify the weight of each Mexican motor carrier entering the 
United States. Of this total, 5 crossings shall be equipped 
before the border is opened and the remainder shall be equipped 
within 12 months of enactment of this Act;
      6. Require the Department of Transportation to issue 
interim final safety-related regulations and policies;
      7. Prohibit Mexican motor carriers from crossing into the 
United States at any border crossing where a certified motor 
carrier safety inspector is not on duty or where there is not 
adequate capacity to either conduct a sufficient number of 
meaningful vehicle safety inspections or accommodate vehicles 
placed out-of-service as a result of safety inspections;
      8. Prohibit vehicles that are owned or leased by a 
Mexican motor carrier, and that carry hazardous materials, to 
operate beyond the commercial zone, until the United States has 
completed an agreement with the government of Mexico to ensure 
that drivers of vehicles carrying a placardable quantity of 
hazardous materials meet substantially the same safety 
requirements as those met by U.S. driver;
      9. Prohibit any Mexican motor carrier from operating 
beyond the commercial zone until (1) the Department of 
Transportation Inspector General first conducts a comprehensive 
review of the DOT's ability to ensure safety on U.S. highways 
once Mexican motor carriers are allowed to operate within the 
internal U.S.; and (2) the Secretary of Transportation 
certifies in writing in a manner addressing the IG's findings 
that the opening of the border does not pose an unacceptable 
safety risk to the American public; and
      10. Require the DOT IG to conduct a follow up review at 
least 180 days following the first review cited above and then 
annually thereafter.
      The House proposed prohibiting funds in this Act to 
process applications by Mexico-domiciled motor carriers for 
conditional or permanent authority to operate beyond the United 
States municipalities and commercial zones adjacent to the 
United States-Mexico border. The Senate proposed prohibiting 
funds for the review or processing of an application by a 
Mexican motor carrier for authority to operate beyond United 
States municipalities and commercial zones on the United 
States-Mexico border until the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 
Administration performs full safety compliance reviews and 
inspections of Mexican motor carriers; and until the Department 
of Transportation Inspector General certifies in writing that 
certain criteria are met pertaining to fully trained 
inspectors, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, 
the information infrastructure of the Mexican government, 
border crossing capacity, and an accessible safety monitoring 
database.
      Sec. 351 includes the Senate provision that directs the 
Secretary of Transportation to include all public and private

associated with the transportation of hazardous and radioactive 
materials. The provision requires the study to be completed not 
later than six months after the date of the enactment of this 
Act. The conferees expect that radiopharmaceuticals and medical 
radionuclides should be exempt from this study. The House 
proposed no similar provision.
      Sec. 353 modifies the Senate provision that directs the

priority consideration to construction of the approaches to the 
Patton Island Bridge with funds apportioned to the State of 
Alabama from revenue aligned budget authority and for planning, 
design, engineering, and construction of an interchange on I-55

vehicle drivers as proposed by the Senate. The House proposed 
no similar provision.
      Sec. 357 transfers the Point Retreat Light Station, 
including all property under lease as of June 1, 2000, to the 
Alaska Lighthouse Association, as authorized in Public Law 105-
383. The conferees note that the transfer is subject to 
conditions contained in that Act and furthermore expect that 
public access to the property for recreation, hunting, and 
fishing will be largely unchanged. The House proposed no 
similar provision.
      Sec. 358 modifies the Senate provision that directs the 
State of Minnesota to give priority consideration to the
