PURPOSE OF THE LEGISLATION

H.R. 1195 amends the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (‘‘SAFETEA–LU’’) to 

correct drafting errors, make technical changes, and clarify Congressional intent on several provisions of the SAFETEA–LU to ensure that all policies, programs, and projects embodied in the authorization law are implemented as intended by Congress. 

BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION

The SAFETEA–LU conference report was adopted by Congress 

on July 29, 2005, and was signed into law by President Bush on 

August 10, 2005. This legislation authorizes the Federal surface 

transportation programs for highways, highway safety, and public 

transportation for the five-year period fiscal years 2005–2009, and 

provides guaranteed funding of $244.1 billion to carry out these 

programs. 

Since enactment of SAFETEA–LU, a number of drafting, technical, and funding errors have been identified in the law. A technical corrections bill is needed to rectify these errors so that federal 

surface transportation programs and projects can be implemented 

properly and as intended by Congress. 

In particular, H.R. 1195 makes critical corrections to the transportation research program authorized in SAFETEA–LU. Errors 

were made in the research program funding calculations that resulted in lower than intended funding levels in several research 

programs. These technical changes will recapture critical research 

funds for many essential programs, including: 

• the Future Strategic Highway Research Program, a concentrated, results-oriented research program focused on solving 

the most critical problems in highway safety, reliability, capacity, and renewal; 

• the University Transportation Center Program which advances U.S. technology and expertise in the many disciplines 

comprising transportation through the mechanisms of education, research, and technology; and 

• the development and publication of the U.S. Department of 

Transportation’s biennial Conditions and Performance report, 

which provides Congress and other policy makers with an objective appraisal of highway, bridge, and transit finance, physical condition, operational performance, and future investment 

requirements. 


bajohnson on PROD1PC77 with REPORTS
22 

The bill also corrects a drafting error regarding the Magnetic 

Levitation Transportation Deployment program authorized in section 1307 of SAFETEA–LU; makes technical corrections to projects 

contained in sections 1302, 1702, and 1934 of SAFETEA–LU; and 

makes project description changes to public transportation projects 

receiving funds for alternatives analysis under section 3037(c) of 

SAFETEA–LU, new starts under section 3043 of SAFETEA–LU, 

and bus and bus facilities projects under section 3044 of 

SAFETEA–LU. 

H.R. 1195 also extends the deadline for the National Surface 

Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission established 

in SAFETEA–LU to report back to Congress and increases funding 

available to the Department of Transportation to carry out the 

Commission’s mission. 

Finally, the bill increases the rescission of unobligated balances 

of highway contract authority on September 30, 2009, that is already contained in SAFETEA–LU to offset the creation of contract 

authority (a total of $117 million) in other sections of this bill. The 

amount of annual transportation spending and outlays for fiscal 

years 2005 through 2009 does not change as a result of this bill. 

SUMMARY OF THE LEGISLATION

TITLE I—HIGHWAY PROVISIONS

Sec. 101. Surface transportation technical corrections 

Subsection (a) Correction of Internal References in Disadvantaged Business Enterprises. This provision corrects erroneous paragraph cross-references. 

Subsection (b) Correction of Distribution of Obligation Authority. 

This provision makes a technical correction to the provision governing the distribution of obligation authority. It eliminates the 

qualifier ‘‘among the States’’ because it is unduly restrictive, and 

proper administration of this provision requires its deletion. 

Subsection (c) Correction of Federal Lands Highways. This provision clarifies that funding can be invested on forest roads, not only 

forest highways, to facilitate the passage of aquatic species beneath 

forest roads. 

Subsection (d) Correction of Description of National Corridor Infrastructure Improvement Project. The table of project descriptions 

in section 1302(e) of SAFETEA–LU does not include ‘‘LA’’ in the 

State listing for Project No. 1. The correction is needed to accurately describe the project in question. 

Subsection (e) Correction of Interstate Route 376 High Priority 

Designation. The correction is needed to describe accurately the 

project in question. The correction includes the correct description 

of the route designated for connection to I–80. 

Subsection (f) Correction of Infrastructure Finance Section. The 

correction is necessary to properly redesignate the sections in question. 

Subsection (g) Transportation Systems Management and Operations Defined. SAFETEA–LU contains several references to ‘‘transportation systems management and operations’’, including 

references to the term under section 101(a) of title 23, United 

States Code. However, there is no definition of the term in section 

101(a) of title 23, United States Code, and SAFETEA–LU does not 


bajohnson on PROD1PC77 with REPORTS
23 

add a definition. This provision adds the definition of ‘‘transportation systems management and operations’’ to title 23. 

Subsection (h) Correction of Reference in Apportionment of Highway Safety Improvement Program Funds. This provision makes 

uniform the apportionment of Highway Safety Improvement Program funding on the basis of ‘‘Federal-aid highway’’ ratios in all 

cases. 

Subsection (i) Correction of Amendment to Advance Construction. 

This provision is a technical amendment to changes made in 

SAFETEA–LU to the advance construction program in Title 23, 

United States Code. 

Subsection (j) Correction of High Priority Projects. This provision 

corrects duplicative subsection designations in section 117 of title 

23, United States Code. The amendment also makes technical 

changes to section 117, including spelling out acronyms. 

Subsection (k) Correction of Transfer of Unused Protective-Device Funds to Other Highway Safety Improvement Program 

Projects. This provision corrects an error in SAFETEA–LU with regard to using funds specified for protective devices at rail crossings 

on other highway safety improvement program projects if a State 

has certified that it has met all of its protective device needs. 

Subsection (l) Metropolitan Transportation Planning. This provision clarifies that: (1) the full funding requirement applies to either 

a project or an identified phase of a project, and (2) the metropolitan planning organization in a transportation management area is 

responsible for carrying out the planning process. 

Subsection (m) Correction of Highway Bridge Program. This provision makes various technical and clarifying changes to the Highway Bridge Program. 

Subsection (n) Correction of National Scenic Byways Program 

Coverage. This provision adds ‘‘All-American Roads’’ and ‘‘America’s Byways’’ categories to the National Scenic Byways Program. 

Subsection (o) Correction of Reference in Toll Provision. This provision corrects the statutory reference to the reduced toll amounts 

applicable to low-emission and energy-efficient vehicles in high-occupancy-vehicle lanes. 

Subsection (p) Correction of Recreational Trails Program Apportionment Exceptions. This correction is needed to describe accurately the two exceptions in section 206(d)(3)(A) of title 23, United 

States Code. 

Subsection (q) Consolidation of Grant Applications. This provision enables the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to 

produce a consolidated application encompassing as many grant applications as practical. 

Subsection (r) Correction of Infrastructure Finance. Two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) provide 

rating categories different from those enumerated in section 601 of 

title 23, United States Code. The change in this subsection adds to 

the current definition of ‘‘investment-grade rating’’ the rating categories used by these NRSROs: ‘‘bbb minus’’ and ‘‘BBB (low)’’. 

Subsection (s) Correction of Miscellaneous Typographical Errors. 

Paragraph (1): This correction is necessary to address a gap in subsection designations. Paragraph (2): This correction clarifies that 

tribal governments are eligible recipients of the Safe Routes to 

School program. Paragraph (3): This correction inserts ‘‘and’’ beVerDate Aug 31 2005 06:13 Mar 22, 2007 Jkt 059006 PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR062.XXX HR062

bajohnson on PROD1PC77 with REPORTS
24 

tween ‘‘plan’’ and ‘‘administer’’. Paragraph (4): This correction clarifies the programs that are subject to the rescission. 

Sec. 102. Maglev 

This section creates contract authority for the Magnetic Levitation Transportation 

Deployment program. SAFETEA–LU inadvertently did not include a provision making contract authority available for this program. This provision corrects the error. 

Sec. 103. Projects of National and Regional Significance and National Corridor Infrastructure Improvement Projects 

Subsection (a) makes technical corrections to the project definition for project number 4 of the Projects of National and Regional 

Significance Program. No new budget authority is authorized for 

the Program. 

Subsection (b) makes technical corrections to the project definition for project number 23 in the National Corridor Infrastructure 

Improvement Project Program. No new budget authority is authorized for the Program. 

Sec. 104. Idling reduction facilities 

This section repeals section 111(d) of title 23, United States 

Code, which permits idling reduction facilities in Interstate rightsof-way. 

Sec. 105. Project authorizations 

Subsection (a) makes technical corrections to projects in the table 

contained in section 1702 of SAFETEA–LU. 

Subsection (b) clarifies that if a High Priority Project is changed 

in this Act, only the unused obligation authority is made available 

to be spent. Subsection (c) provides that a State may use up to $1 million of 

its Surface Transportation Program funding for certain activities 

designed to prevent highway fuel tax evasion. 

Subsection (d) provides 100 percent Federal share for project 

numbers 1284 and 3093 in the table contained in section 1702. No 

new budget authority is authorized for the High Priority Projects 

Program. 

Sec. 106. Nonmotorized Transportation Pilot Program 

This section amends a project designation for the Nonmotorized 

Transportation Pilot Program, changing ‘‘Minneapolis-St. Paul’’ to 

‘‘Minneapolis’’. 

Sec. 107. Correction of interstate designation 

This section strikes section 1908(a)(3) of SAFETEA–LU, which 

refers to Interstate ‘‘designations’’ in paragraph (2), because paragraph (2) does not designate any routes as Interstate System 

routes pursuant to section 103(c)(4) of title 23, United States Code. 

Sec. 108. Future of surface transportation system 

This section makes technical corrections to section 1909(b) of 

SAFETEA–LU, which establishes the National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission. The section clarifies 


bajohnson on PROD1PC77 with REPORTS
25 

that funds made available to the Commission may only be expended to support its activities. 

Sec. 109. Buy America 

This section amends a sense of the Congress provision in 

SAFETEA–LU related to the Buy America test as applied to bridge 

projects. 

This section clarifies section 1928 of SAFETEA–LU regarding the 

Sense of Congress concerning Buy America requirements for Federal-aid highway bridge projects. Congress does not believe that the 

Federal Highway Administration (‘‘FHWA’’) is implementing the 

Buy America Act in a way consistent with the statutory intent. 

This provision is intended to clarify that the ‘‘additional cost test’’ should be conducted on the basis of an entire bridge project, not on 

separate components of the bridge project. The FHWA has applied 

the test to separate components of a bridge project if the project is 

broken into several components for contracting purposes. The original Sense of Congress, as well as the amendment included in this 

bill, is intended to clarify Congressional intent. 

Sec. 110. Transportation improvements 

This section makes technical corrections to projects in the table 

contained in section 1934 of SAFETEA–LU. No new budget authority is authorized for Transportation Improvements. 

Sec. 111. BIA Indian road program 

This section makes technical corrections to the BIA Indian Reservation Road program authorized in section 1939 of SAFETEA– LU. 

Sec. 112. I–95/Contee Road interchange design 

This section modifies the authorization in section 1961 of 

SAFETEA–LU from a study to design of the I–95/Contee Road 

interchange. The State of Maryland has already completed the 

study for the interchange. No new budget authority is authorized 

for the project. 

Sec. 113. Highway research funding 

Subsections (a) through (f) make necessary changes to correct a 

SAFETEA–LU drafting error that caused the Surface Transportation Research Development and Deployment (‘‘STRDD’’) account 

in Title V to be oversubscribed. The oversubscription of the STRDD 

program under section 5101(a)(1) of SAFETEA–LU has resulted in 

significantly reduced funding for the U.S. Department of Transportation to conduct its legacy research programs and research activities. The section provides funding for the Future Strategic Highway 

Research Program authorized under section 5210 of SAFETEA–LU 

as a percentage deduction from Federal-aid highway apportionments. 

Paragraph (g)(1) strikes a duplicative subsection (h) in section 

502 of title 23, United States Code, and replaces it with the correct 

subsection (h) designation. 

Paragraph (g)(2) corrects the section heading in section 

5512(a)(2) of SAFETEA–LU to accurately identify the provision 

contained therein. 


bajohnson on PROD1PC77 with REPORTS
26 

Paragraph (g)(3) makes technical corrections to maintenance-ofeffort and program administration provisions of the University 

Transportation Research program. 

Sec. 114. Rescission 

This section increases the rescission of unobligated balances of 

highway contract authority that is contained in SAFETEA–LU to 

offset contract authority provided in other sections of this bill. 

Sec. 115. TEA–21 technical corrections 

Subsection (a) extends an authorization to use a percentage of 

Surface Transportation Program funds on roads functionally classified as minor collectors. This authorization was included in the 

Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act and TEA–21 but 

was inadvertently left out of SAFETEA–LU. 

Subsection (b) makes technical corrections to projects contained 

in section 1602 of the Transportation Equity Act of the 21st Century (TEA–21). No new budget authority is authorized for these 

projects. 

Sec. 116. Definition of repeat intoxicated driver law 

This section amends definition of ‘‘repeat intoxicated driver law’’ in section 164(a)(5)(A) of title 23, United States Code, to clarify the 

definition includes a State law that provides a driver’s license suspension for not less than one year, or a combination of suspension 

of all driving privileges for the first 45 days of the suspension period followed by reinstatement of limited driving privileges if an ignition interlock device is installed on each motor vehicle owned or 

operated by the offender. This provision conforms the public policy 

in chapter 1 of title 23, United States Code, with the public policy 

in chapter 4 of title 23, United States Code, under the section 410, 

Alcohol-Impaired Countermeasures Incentive Grant Program, as 

reauthorized in SAFETEA–LU. 

Although the interlock provision was included in both the Houseand Senate-passed bills, it was not included in the SAFETEA–LU 

Conference Report. H.R. 1195 incorporates this change by giving 

States more flexibility to either continue with the current one-year 

license suspension requirement, or permit a 45–day license suspension, after which limited driving privileges are reinstated provided 

that an ignition interlock device is placed on the offender’s vehicle. 

Repeat offenders are a significant part of the drunk driving problem in the United States. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data found that repeat offenders represent about one-third 

of all Driving Under the Influence (‘‘DUI’’) arrests each year. It is 

estimated that between 50 and 75 percent of repeat offenders 

whose licenses have been suspended continue to drive illegally. An 

ignition interlock device prevents offenders who have alcohol in 

their bloodstream from operating their vehicle, but allows them to 

continue to drive to work, school, or an alcohol treatment program. 

Sec. 117. Research technical correction 

This section revises the contract authority amounts provided in 

subtitle D of SAFETEA–LU to match the fiscal year 2009 authorizations provided in the University Research section in section 

5101(a)(4) of SAFETEA–LU. 


bajohnson on PROD1PC77 with REPORTS
27 

Sec. 118. Effective date 

This section establishes the effective date for policy and project 

changes so that all changes can be implemented without disruption 

to the funding or policy continuity in the underlying authorization 

act. 

TITLE II—TRANSIT PROVISIONS

Sec. 201. Transit technical corrections 

Subsection (a) corrects a drafting error in section 5302 of title 49, 

United States Code, in which the term ‘‘sightseeing’’ was inadvertently deleted from the exception clause in the definition of public 

transportation. 

Subsection (b) clarifies that: (1) the full funding requirement applies to either a project or an identified phase of a project, and (2) 

the metropolitan planning organization in a transportation management area is responsible for carrying out the planning process. 

Subsection (c) replaces the term ‘‘mass transportation’’ with ‘‘public transportation’’ and makes a conforming citation change in section 5307 of title 49, United States Code. 

Subsection (d) amends a subsection heading to accurately reflect 

the subject matter of the subsection and makes a conforming citation change in section 5309 of title 49, United States Code. 

Subsection (e) conforms the language in the Government’s share

5314 of title 49, United States Code. 

Subsection (h) makes a conforming citation change in section 

5319 of title 49, United States Code. 

Subsection (i) amends section 5320 of title 49, United States 

Code, to correct a typographical error and make conforming citation changes. It also authorizes the Federal Transit Administration 

to transfer up to 10 percent in program administrative expenses to 

appropriate federal land management agencies for the administration of the Alternative Transportation in Parks and Public Lands 

program. 

Subsection (j) makes a conforming citation change in section 

5323 of title 49, United States Code. 

Subsection (k) clarifies that contracts for architectural, engineering, and design services shall be awarded competitively as provided 

under chapter 11 of title 40, United States Code, or under an approved state procurement program adopted before enactment of 

SAFETEA–LU that is equivalent to the requirements under federal 

law. 

Subsection (l) makes technical corrections to section 5336 of title 

49, United States Code. Subsection (l)(1) reorders the apportionment process under section 5336 of title 49, United States Code, to 

clarify that the one percent set-aside for the new Small Transit Intensive Cites program is performed before the remainder of the 


bajohnson on PROD1PC77 with REPORTS
28 

funds is apportioned. The paragraph also makes a conforming citation change and a subsection designation change in section 5336 of 

title 49, United States Code. Subsection (l)(2) makes a conforming 

citation change in section 3034 of SAFETEA–LU that references 

subsection (a)(2) of section 5336 of title 49, United States Code. 

Subsection (m) corrects a drafting error in section 5337 of title 

49, United States Code, to update the authorization dates for the 

fixed guideway modernization program apportionments from ‘‘1998 

through 2003’’ to ‘‘2005 through 2009’’. 

Subsection (n) makes a conforming citation change in section 

5338 of title 49, United States Code. 

Subsection (o) makes technical corrections to sections 3037, 3040, 

3043, 3044 and 3046 of SAFETEA–LU. Subsection (o)(1) makes a 

project description change to a project receiving funds for alternatives analysis under section 3037(c). Subsection (o)(2) corrects a 

drafting error in section 3040 to increase the total of mass transit 

account funding under the fiscal year 2008 obligation limitation, 

thus decreasing the amount of general funds. This change is necessary to comport with the authorizations under section 5338 of 

title 49, United States Code, and section 251(c) of the Balanced 

Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act. Subsection (o)(3) 

amends new starts project descriptions under section 3043. Subsection (o)(4) makes several project description changes to bus and 

bus facilities projects under section 3044. Subsection (o)(5) makes 

a project description change to a national research and technology 

project under section 3046.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY AND COMMITTEE CONSIDERATION

In the 109th Congress, the bipartisan leadership of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure introduced H.R. 5689, 

a bill to make technical corrections to SAFETEA–LU. The House 

approved H.R. 5689 by voice vote on June 28, 2006. The Senate 

Committee on Environment and Public Works reported H.R. 5689 

with an amendment in the nature of a substitute on September 14, 

2006. The bill was never considered by the full Senate. 

On September 29, 2006, the bipartisan leadership of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure introduced H.R. 6233. 

The legislation included provisions from the previously passed 

House bill (H.R. 5689), as well as a number of provisions included 

at the request of the Senate. On September 29, 2006, the House 

passed H.R. 6233 by voice vote. On September 29, 2006, the House 

also passed H. Con. Res. 491, providing for a correction to the enrollment of H.R. 6233, by unanimous consent. No further action 

was taken in the Senate on the SAFETEA–LU technical corrections 

bill in 109th Congress. 

In the 110th Congress, the bipartisan leadership of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure introduced H.R. 1195 

on February 27, 2007, to make technical corrections to SAFETEA– 

LU. This bill is based upon H.R. 6233, as passed by the House in 

the 109th Congress. The bill includes additional corrections and 

conforming changes identified by the U.S. Department of Transportation and changes to previously-authorized projects requested by 

Members of Congress. 

On March 1, 2007, the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure met in open session and considered 1195 and adopted a 

manager’s amendment by voice vote. The Committee ordered H.R. 

1195, as amended, reported favorably to the House by voice vote. 

RECORD VOTES

Clause 3(b) of rule XIII of the House of Representatives requires 

each committee report to include the total number of votes cast for 

and against on each record vote on a motion to report and on any

amendment offered to the measure or matter, and the names of 

those members voting for and against. There were no recorded 

votes taken in connection with any amendment offered to H.R. 

1195 or on ordering the bill reported. A motion to order H.R. 1195, 

as amended, reported favorably to the House was agreed to by 

voice vote with a quorum present.

H.R. 1195—An act to amend the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users to make 

technical corrections, and for other purposes 

Summary: H.R. 1195 would make numerous amendments to the 

current authorization law for highway programs—the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy 

for Users (Public Law 109–59). H.R. 1195 would provide contract 

authority (a mandatory form of budget authority) for magnetic levitation transportation projects and for the National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Commission. The bill also would rescind a portion of unused contract authority in fiscal year 2009, the 

last year of the current authorization period for highway and mass 

transit programs. The bill’s net impact would be a reduction of $25 

million in contract authority for highway programs over the 2007– 2009 period. 

CBO expects that spending for the programs mentioned above 

will be controlled by limits on annual obligations set in appropriation acts (known as obligation limitations). Consequently, the 

changes in contract authority would not affect direct spending outlays. The legislation would not amend the obligation limitations 

specified in current law; thus, CBO estimates that implementing 

this legislation would not have a significant impact on discretionary outlays. However H.R. 1195 would affect direct spending by 

amending the authorization for a specific project that CBO expects 

would not be completed under current law, CBO estimates that the 

resulting increase in direct spending would be $499,000. Enacting 

H.R. 1195 would not affect revenues. 

The bill contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA); 

any costs to state, local, or tribal governments would result. from 

complying with conditions of federal assistance. 

Estimated cost to the Federal Government: The estimated budgetary impact of H.R. 1195 is shown in the following table. The costs 

of this legislation fall within budget function 400 (transportation).

low historical patterns for similar programs. CBO estimates that 

enacting H.R. 1195 would reduce contract authority by $25 million 

over the 2007–2009 period. The bill would not affect revenues. 

Changes to contract authority 

The Federal-Aid Highway program receives contract authority 

under the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users. Most spending from that contract authority is subject to annual limits on obligations set in appropriation acts. For that reason, most of the program’s outlays are considered discretionary, and they would not be affected by the bill’s 

changes in the amount of contract authority available. 

If enacted, H.R. 1195 would provide new or increased contract 

authority for the following programs: 

• Magnetic Levitation Transportation Projects. Under current 

law, funding for projects that use magnetic force to suspend and 

propel a transportation system is authorized to be appropriated. 

Section 102 of the bill would amend the authorization to create $20 

million in contract authority in 2007 and a total of $90 million over 

2007–2009 period. 

• National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Commission. The commission studies and plans for the future of the nation’s surface transportation system. Section 108 would provide the 

commission with an additional $2 million in contract authority for 

fiscal year 2007. 

Section 114 would rescind $117 million of contract authority in 

fiscal year 2009. That change, when combined with the new or increased contract authority that would be made available by the legislation, would reduce contract authority by $25 million over the 

2007–2009 period. Because contract authority for the programs listed above is subject to limits on annual obligations set in appropriation acts and because CBO estimates that the rescission would not 

impair the various transportation programs’ ability to meet obligations in the next several years, CBO estimates that the changes in 

contract authority would not affect outlays (either mandatory or 

discretionary) over the next several years. 

Changes to direct spending outlays 

Section 115 would revise the authorization for a project in the 

state of Minnesota previously authorized by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (Public Law 105–85). Based on information from the Department of Transportation and others with 

knowledge of the project, CBO does not expect the funds authorized 

under current law to be spent because the original project for 

which the funds were designated is not going to be completed. Instead, the bill would designate the funds for a different project in 

the state. Therefore, this provision would result in an increase in 

spending of $499,000 over the 2008–2012 period that would not 

occur under current law. 

Intergovernmental and private-sector mandates: The bill contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined 

in UMRA; any costs to state, local, or tribal governments would result from complying with conditions of federal assistance.

COMPLIANCE WITH HOUSE RULE XXI 

Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the House of 

Representatives, the Committee is required to include a list of congressional earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits 

as defined in clause 9(d), 9(e), or 9(f) of rule XXI of the Rules of 

the House of Representatives. It is not clear if the definition of 

‘‘congressional earmark’’ under clause 9(d) of rule XXI applies to 

technical corrections to SAFETEA–LU projects because these technical corrections do not provide new budget authority for such 

projects. 

However, in the interests of full disclosure and transparency, the 

Committee has required Members of Congress to comply with all 

requirements of clause 9(d), 9(e), or 9(f) of rule XXI. The following 

table provides the list of such provisions included in the bill:

this is inconsistent with this sense of Congress;

be used in Federal highway projects unless there is a finding

of the overall project by more than 25 percent;

laws for major bridge projects threatens the domestic bridge industry;

(c) Funds authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section 

shall be used to aid the States to conduct the highway safety programs approved in accordance with subsection (a), including development and implementation of manpower training programs, and 

of demonstration programs that the Secretary determines will contribute directly to the reduction of accidents, and deaths and injuries resulting therefrom. Such funds shall be apportioned 75 per 

centum in the ratio which the population of each State bears to the 

total population of all the States, as shown by the latest available 

Federal census, and 25 per centum in the ratio which the public 

road mileage in each State bears to the total public road mileage 

in all States. For the purposes of this subsection, a ‘‘public road’’

means any road under the jurisdiction of and maintained by a public authority and open to public travel. Public road mileage as used 

in this subsection shall be determined as of the end of the calendar 

year preceding the year in which the funds are apportioned and 

shall be certified to by the Governor of the State and subject to approval by the Secretary. øThe annual apportionment to each State 

shall not be less than one-half of 1 per centum¿ The annual apportionment to each State shall not be less than three-quarters of 1 percent of the total apportionment, except that the apportionment to 

the Secretary of the Interior shall not be less than 2 percent of the

subsection, a highway safety program approved by the Secretary 


bajohnson on PROD1PC77 with REPORTS

shall not include any requirement that a State implement such a 

program by adopting or enforcing any law, rule, or regulation based 

on a guideline promulgated by the Secretary under this section requiring any motorcycle operator eighteen years of age or older or 

passenger eighteen years of age or older to wear a safety helmet 

when operating or riding a motorcycle on the streets and highways 

of that State. Implementation of a highway safety program under 

this section shall not be construed to require the Secretary to require compliance with every uniform guideline, or with every element of every uniform guideline, in every State. Funds apportioned 

under this section to any State, that does not have a highway safety program approved by the Secretary or that is not implementing 

an approved program, shall be reduced by amounts equal to not 

less than 50 per centum of the amounts that would otherwise be 

apportioned to the State under this section, until such time as the 

Secretary approves such program or determines that the State is 

implementing an approved program, as appropriate. The Secretary 

shall consider the gravity of the State’s failure to have or implement an approved program in determining the amount of the reduction. The Secretary shall promptly apportion to the State the 

funds withheld from its apportionment if he approves the State’s 

highway safety program or determines that the State has begun 

implementing an approved program, as appropriate, prior to the 

end of the fiscal year for which the funds were withheld. If the Secretary determines that the State did not correct its failure within 

such period, the Secretary shall reapportion the withheld funds to 

the other States in accordance with the formula specified in this
