        Federal-aid Highways amounts authorized for administrative 
        expenses and programs funded from the administrative takedown 
        authorized by section 104(a)(1)(A) of title 23, United States 
        Code, for the highway use tax evasion program, and for the 
        Bureau of Transportation Statistics;
            (2) not distribute an amount from the obligation limitation 
        for Federal-aid Highways that is equal to the unobligated 
        balance of amounts made available from the Highway Trust Fund 
        (other than the Mass Transit Account) for Federal-aid highways 
        and highway safety programs for the previous fiscal year the 
        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 appropriated for sections set forth in 
                paragraphs (1) through (7) of subsection (b) and sums

                in subsection (b)(8)) for such fiscal year less the 
                aggregate of the amounts not distributed under 
                paragraph (1) of this subsection;
            (4) distribute the obligation limitation for Federal-aid

        fiscal year under section 105 of title 23, United States Code 
        (relating to minimum guarantee) so that the amount of 
        obligation authority available for each of such sections is 
        equal to the amount determined by multiplying the ratio 
        determined under paragraph (3) by the sums authorized to be 
        appropriated for such section (except in the case of section 
        105, $2,000,000,000) for such fiscal year;
            (5) distribute the obligation limitation provided for 
        Federal-aid Highways less the aggregate amounts not distributed 
        under paragraphs (1) and (2) and amounts distributed under 
        paragraph (4) for each of the programs that are allocated by 
        the Secretary under title 23, United States Code (other than

        paragraph (4) applies) by multiplying the ratio determined 
        under paragraph (3) by the sums authorized to be appropriated 
        for such program for such fiscal year; and
            (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 
                programs that are apportioned to each State for such 
                fiscal year, bear to
                    (B) the total of the sums authorized to be

    (c) Redistribution of Unused Obligation Authority.--Notwithstanding 
subsection (a), the Secretary shall after August 1 for such fiscal year 
revise a distribution of the obligation limitation made available under 
subsection (a) if a State will not obligate the amount distributed

programs under chapter 4 of title 23, United States Code; and (2) that 
the Secretary determines will not be allocated to the States, and will 
not be available for obligation, in such fiscal year due to the 
imposition of any obligation limitation for such fiscal year. Such 
distribution to the States shall be made in the same ratio as the 
distribution of obligation authority 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.
    (f) Special Rule.--Obligation limitation distributed for a fiscal

        available under the Federal Lands Highway Program.
            (2) Eligibility for funding under this subsection shall not

        or interest of an eligible debt financing instrument as so 
        defined in section 122, nor create a right of a third party
