funds for which are allocated by the Secretary;
(3) determine the ratio that--
(A) the obligation limitation for Federal-aid
Highways less the aggregate of amounts not distributed
under paragraphs (1) and (2), bears to
(B) the total of the sums authorized to be
appropriated for Federal-aid highways and highway safety
construction programs (other than sums authorized to be

paragraph (4) for each of the programs that are allocated by the
Secretary under title 23, United States Code (other than
activities to which paragraph (1) applies and programs to which

paragraph (3) by the sums authorized to be appropriated for such
program for such fiscal year;
(6) distribute the obligation limitation provided for
Federal-aid Highways less the aggregate amounts not distributed
under paragraphs (1) and (2) and amounts distributed under
paragraphs (4) and (5) for Federal-aid highways and highway
safety construction programs (other than the minimum guarantee
program, but only to the extent that amounts apportioned for the
minimum guarantee program for such fiscal year exceed
$2,639,000,000, and the Appalachian development highway system
program) that are apportioned by the Secretary under title 23,
United States Code, in the ratio that--
(A) sums authorized to be appropriated for such

revise a distribution of the obligation limitation made available under
subsection (a) if a State will not obligate the amount distributed
during that fiscal year and redistribute sufficient amounts to those
States able to obligate amounts in addition to those previously
distributed during that fiscal year giving priority to those States
having large unobligated balances of funds apportioned under sections
104 and 144 of title 23, United States Code, section 160 (as in effect

under subsection (a)(6). The funds so distributed shall be available for
any purposes described in section 133(b) of title 23, United States
Code.
