**Appropriations Policy Brief**

**H.R. 5576 -- Transportation, Treasury, HUD, Judiciary, and District of
Columbia Appropriations Act for FY 2007**

**[Comparison to RSC Budget]{.underline}**

**Overview:** The RSC budget provided \$829 billion in discretionary
spending for FY 2007, compared to the \$873 billion allotted in the
House-passed resolution (H.Con.Res. 376). While the RSC budget did not
apportion this discretionary spending level by subcommittee---the 302(b)
allocation process---it did call for many program reductions within the
jurisdiction of the TTHUD Appropriations Subcommittee. Below are the
highlights:

**Federal Railroad Administration Programs:** The Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) was created by the Department of Transportation Act
of 1966. The purpose of FRA is to: promulgate and enforce rail safety
regulations; administer railroad assistance programs; conduct research
and development in support of improved railroad safety and national rail
transportation policy; provide for the rehabilitation of Northeast
Corridor rail passenger service; and consolidate government support of
rail transportation activities. The RSC budget eliminates funding for
those FRA functions that can be more effectively carried out by state
governments. H.R. 5576 provides \$184.7 million for such FRA programs in
FY 2007, \$24.2 million less than last year.

**Federal Subsidies for Amtrak:** Amtrak's model for providing intercity
rail service has been a failure since it began service in 1971.
Historically, it has carried less than 1% of the traveling public, has
required annual federal subsidies to cover operating losses and capital
costs every year of its existence---to date some \$29 billion in
taxpayer resources---lacks adequate cost controls, has deferred capital
repair projects and confronts increasing debt service costs. Despite
ridership increases---e.g., 11.6% from FY 2000 to FY 2004---Amtrak's
costs still continue to rise faster than its revenue. According to the
most recent data, on a fully allocated basis (including both interest
and depreciation) *every one of Amtrak's routes loses money,* with a
per-passenger subsidy ranging from \$3 to \$466. But the fundamental
obstacle faced is an economic one: Amtrak is not cost or time
competitive with other transportation modes. The RSC budget proposes to
reduce and eventually end over 30 years of taxpayer subsidization of
Amtrak. Beginning in FY 2007, grants to Amtrak would gradually be
reduced and eventually ended by FY 2011 as operations are eliminated,
privatized, or absorbed by states who value its services. H.R. 5576
provides \$900 million for Amtrak in FY 2007, \$393.6 million less than
last year.

**Essential Air Service (EAS):** The EAS was created by the Airline
Deregulation Act of 1978 to ensure that certain communities that had
been receiving mandated flights prior to deregulation continued to
receive a certain level of service. It provides federal subsidies to air
carriers serving some 150 communities located more than 70 miles from
the nearest medium or large hub airport and if the per passenger subsidy
is \$200 or less. This program was originally intended to provide small
communities temporary assistance in order to adjust to airline
deregulation. Currently, the per-passenger subsidy has fluctuated from
\$14 to \$385, even as the number of passengers served has declined
since 2001. The RSC budget proposes to eliminate EAS. H.R. 5576 provides
\$117 million in subsidies for the EAS.

**Funding for the Office of the Secretary of Transportation (OST):**
Because budgetary resources are constrained, the RSC budget proposes to
streamline OST funding by 35% over the FY 2007-2009 period before
holding funding at that level over the budget window. Numerous functions
within the OST are either duplicative of those in the modal agencies or
no longer necessary assuming enactment of this budget's policy
proposals. H.R. 5576 provides \$92.6 million for the Office of the
Secretary of Transportation.

**Minority Business Programs at the U.S. Department of Transportation:**
These programs---the Minority Business Resource Program and the Minority
Business Outreach---duplicate functions carried out by the Small
Business Administration. The RSC budget proposes to eliminate funding
for these programs effective in FY 2007. H.R. 5576 provides \$2.9
million for Minority Business Outreach, as well as \$891,000 for the
Minority Business Resource Center Program at DOT.

**Federal Aviation Administration (FAA):** The FAA is responsible for
managing U.S. air transportation. Numerous Government Accountability
Office studies have outlined inefficiencies at FAA including,
impractical hiring practices, security weaknesses that threatened the
confidentiality of FAA systems, poor management controls over enforcing
safety regulations, and ineffective computer security. In addition, the
FAA's recent attempts to modernize operations have cost billions of
dollars and provided very little results. Several countries, including
Canada, have privatized air traffic control operations, which produces
significant government savings and a much more efficient operation. The
RSC budget would privatize FAA programs beginning in FY 2010. H.R. 5576
provides \$8.4 billion for the FAA.

**HOPE VI Program:** Originally known as the Urban Revitalization
Demonstration (URD), HOPE VI grew out of recommendations by the National
Commission on Severely Distressed Public Housing, which was charged with
proposing a National Action Plan to eradicate severely distressed public
housing. In response, Congress established the Revitalization of
Severely Distressed Public Housing (HOPE VI) program in 1992, to address
100,000 of the most severely distressed public housing units in the
nation's urban neighborhoods by 2003. This HUD program provides
competitive grants to local housing authorities to construct,
rehabilitate and transform distressed public housing units into
mixed-income communities. However, according to HUD, the 2003 goal has
been met and exceeded. In addition, in 2002 the Government
Accountability Office reported that HOPE VI has 27 percent higher
per-unit housing costs than vouchers that serve the same population and
47 percent higher when all costs are considered. It is also duplicative
of other federal programs providing similar assistance. Given that the
original goal of the program has been met, there is no further
justification for continued funding. The RSC budget proposes to
eliminate funding for Hope VI, and H.R. 5576 adopts this recommendation
and [terminates the program's funding]{.underline}.

[]{.mark}

**Section 236 Rental Housing Assistance Payments:** HUD subsidizes the
interest payments on mortgages for rental or cooperative housing owned
by certain private nonprofit or limited-profit landlords and rented to
low-income tenants. The RSC budget eliminates funding for the program.
H.R. 5576 provides \$24.8 million for this program, \$1.4 million less
than last year.

[]{.mark}

**Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant Program:** This federal program
provides Native Hawaiians federal housing block grant funds for
construction or reconstruction of affordable housing, down payment and
closing cost assistance, direct lending or interest subsidies, housing
counseling, tenant-based rental assistance and safety activities. Native
Hawaiians are a racial group, not a tribe, and dispensing benefits to
them would likely be subject to strict scrutiny in Federal courts.
Providing additional housing assistance to this group is not only
duplicative of numerous current federal housing programs available to
all individuals, but is also likely unconstitutional. The RSC budget
eliminates funding for this program. H.R. 5576 provides \$8.8 million
for the Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant Program.

[]{.mark}

**Tenant-Based Rental Assistance:** The HUD Section 8 program provides
project-based (paid to the housing unit) and voucher-based (tied to the
family) federal subsidies to help low-income households with housing
costs in private markets. The RSC budget proposes to begin restraining
assistance levels. In addition, a certain number of vouchers and
certificates are turned in each year by tenants who no longer need the
assistance. H.R. 5576 provides \$15.8 billion for Tenant-based Rental
Assistance, \$31.8 million less than last year.

**Earmarks in SAFETEA-LU:** The recently enacted \$286 billion surface
transportation reauthorization bill (SAFETEA-LU, P.L. 109-59) included
several project specific funding categories. Unfortunately, as the
rationale for a large federal role in surface transportation has
vanished, congressional earmarking has significantly increased.
SAFETEA-LU contains over 6,300 member earmarks, representing 8% of the
bill's overall funding and a massive increase over the preceding
transportation authorization bill's (TEA-21, 1998-2003) then-record
level of 1,850 earmarks.

Earmarking is a main driver contributing to the diversion of scarce
transportation dollars to lower priority projects--like bike paths,
museums, landscaping, parking garages, and so forth. The consequence of
this is reduced flexibility for state and local transportation planners,
delayed schedules for priority projects, reduced resource allocation,
and the evasion of any competitive review. Ultimately, the traveling
public and the economy bear the cost of this inefficiency, in part
through reduced mobility and safety in the movement of goods and people.

The RSC budget proposes to immediately rescind these earmarked
SAFETEA-LU categories beginning in FY 2007, while leaving the bill's
equity guarantees unchanged. For the 2007-2009 period, total authorized
contract authority and obligation limitations for these categories would
total some \$13.3 billion in funding. H.R. 5576 includes billions of
dollars in earmarked funds for state and local projects, which could be
funded through state and local funds.

**Community Development Block Grant (CDBG):** The RSC budget proposed
terminating the CDBG program, which provides community development
funding that is often duplicative of other programs. As in years past,
the Administration requested the program be cut by \$1.1 billion.
However, H.R. 5576 includes a slight increase of \$22.2 million to \$4.2
billion.

**[Other Items of Note]{.underline}:**

[]{.mark}

**Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Reform:** Reforms the FHA "to
begin the transition of FHA from a ridged, one-size-fits-all operating
stance to a more flexible array of loan offerings designed to meet the
individual needs of families not served, or ill-served by the private
marketplace." Without further review, the effect of this provision on
the private housing marketplace is unclear. However, the language
appears to be under the sole jurisdiction of the House Financial
Services Committee.

**Unauthorized Appropriations:** According to the Committee report, the
bill appropriates \$51.3 billion for unauthorized appropriations. The
Rules of the House prohibit this practice, but the rule governing
consideration of the bill waives this restriction.

**Member Pay Raise:** Does **NOT** include a pay increase for Members of
Congress. The pay increase is automatic under existing law unless
Congress enacts legislation blocking the pay raise.

[]{.mark}

**Domestic Partner Benefits in the District of Columbia:** Maintains the
provision that prohibits federal funds, but NOT District funds from
being used to provide employment, health, or governmental benefits to
unmarried (whether heterosexual or homosexual) domestic partners.

> []{.mark}

**Abortion Funding Ban in the District of Columbia:** Maintains the
prohibition on the use of federal or District funds for abortions
(except for the life of the mother or in cases of rape or incest).

[]{.mark}

**Self-Determination for the District of Columbia:** Maintains the
prohibition on the use of federal or District funds to seek voting
representation in Congress or statehood for the District.

[]{.mark}

**Needle Exchange in the District of Columbia:** Maintains the
prohibition on the use of federal or District Funds for the operation of
needle exchange programs.

[]{.mark}

**Medical Marijuana in the District of Columbia:** Maintains the
prohibition on the use of federal or District funds to implement any
medical marijuana program.

[]{.mark}

**Abortion Funding Ban in the FEHBP:** Maintains the prohibition on the
use of funds for abortions through the Federal Employee Health Benefit
Program (except for the life of the mother or in cases of rape or
incest).

**Eminent Domain:** Maintains the prohibition on the use of funds to use
the power of eminent domain unless it is for a public use. In addition,
it states that "public use" should not be construed to include economic
development that primarily benefits private entities.
