    **revised** certificate of apportionment of National Highway System
    funds authorized for FY 2001 pursuant to the Transportation Equity
    Act for the 21^st^ Century

> (TEA-21) Restoration Act. The apportionment is effective immediately.

    National Highway System Funds, dated October 1, 2000. The revisions

    resulting from the over and under reporting of 1998 motor fuel data
    (the most current data upon which FY 2001 apportionments are based).
    United States Comptroller General decisions require that incorrect
    apportionments need to be appropriately adjusted to assure

    Highway funds enacted by Congress. Comptroller General opinion

B-275490 (December 5, 1996); 41 Comp. Gen. 16 (1961).

The Secretary of the Treasury of the United States and the State
Transportation Agencies:

Pursuant to section 9503 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, Title 23,
United States Code, the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century,
and the delegation of authority from the Secretary of Transportation to
the Federal Highway Administrator in section 1.48, Title 49, Code of
Federal Regulations, I certify\--

First, that the Secretary of the Treasury has made the estimate required
by section 9503(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and based on
that estimate, I have determined that the amount that can be apportioned
for projects on the National Highway System for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2001, is \$4,887,986,000, which is 100 percent of the
amount authorized to be appropriated for the National Highway System for
that fiscal year, pursuant to section 1101(a)(2) of the Transportation
Equity Act for the 21st Century.

Second, that in compliance with section 104(a) of Title 23, United
States Code, I have estimated that it will be necessary for
administering the provisions of Title 23, United States Code, to deduct
1.50 percent from the amount authorized to be appropriated for the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2001, for the National Highway System,
and I have deducted said 1.50 percent from the sum of \$4,887,986,000
authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending

September 30, 2001, by section 1101(a)(2) of the Transportation Equity
Act for the 21st Century.

Third, that in compliance with section 104(f) of Title 23, United States
Code, and after making the deduction authorized by section 104(a) of
Title 23,

United States Code, I have deducted one percent of the sums remaining
from the authorization of \$4,887,986,000 for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2001, for the purpose of carrying out section 134 of Title
23, United States Code.

Fourth, that in compliance with section 104(b)(1) of Title 23, United
States Code, and after making the deductions authorized by sections
104(a) and 104(f)(1) of Title 23, United States Code, I have set aside
\$36,400,000 of the sums remaining from the authorization of
\$4,887,986,000 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2001, for the
National Highway System for the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa,
and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and \$18,800,000 of
the sums remaining from the authorization of \$4,887,986,000 for the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2001, for the purpose of carrying out
section 104(b)(1) of Title 23, United States Code, relating to the
Alaska Highway.

Fifth, that under the provisions of section 154(c) of Title 23, United
States Code, the Open Container Requirement law, 1.5 percent of the
amount required to be apportioned to the States of Alaska, Arkansas,
Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, Tennessee,
Texas, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming will be transferred
to the apportionment of the State under section 402 of Title 23, United
States Code, subject to a determination by the States in accordance with
Title 23 United States Code, section 164(b)(5).

Sixth, that under the provisions of section 164(b) of Title 23, United
States

Code, the minimum penalties for repeat offenders for driving while
intoxicated or

driving under the influence law, 1.5 percent of the amount required to
be apportioned

to Alaska, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas,
Louisiana,

Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, New
York,

North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota,

transferred to the apportionment of the State under section 402 of Title
23, United

States Code, subject to a determination by the States in accordance with
Title 23,

United States Code, section 164(b)(5).

Seventh, that after making the deductions and set asides, I have
computed the apportionment to each State and the District of Columbia of
the remainder of the amounts authorized to be appropriated for the
National Highway System in the manner provided by law in accordance with
the formula in section 104(b)(1) of Title 23, United States Code.

Eighth, that subject to the foregoing deductions and set asides, the
sums that

are hereby apportioned to each State and the District of Columbia,
effective

immediately, are respectively as follows:
