              TITLE II--TRANSPORTATION FUNDING FLEXIBILITY

SEC. 201. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds and declares that--
        (1) Federal infrastructure spending on transportation is 
    critical to the efficient movement of goods and people in the 
    United States;
        (2) section 1003(c) of the Intermodal Surface Transportation 
    Efficiency Act of 1991 (105 Stat. 1921) has been estimated to 
    result in fiscal year 1996 transportation spending being reduced by 
    as much as $2,700,000,000;
        (3) such section 1003(c) will result in a reduction of critical 
    funds to States from the Highway Trust Fund; and
        (4) the funding reduction will have adverse effects on the 
    national economy and the predictability of funding for the Nation's 
    highway system and impede interstate commerce.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are--
        (1) to make the program categories in the Federal-aid highway 
    program more flexible so that States may fund high-priority 
    projects in fiscal year 1996;
        (2) to reallocate funds from certain programs during fiscal 
    year 1996 so that the States will be able to continue their core 
    transportation infrastructure programs;
        (3) to ensure the equitable distribution of funds to urbanized 
    areas with a population over 200,000 in a manner consistent with 
    the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991; and
        (4) to suspend certain penalties that would be imposed on the 
    States.

SEC. 202. FUNDING RESTORATION.

    (a) In General.--Not later than the 10th day following the date of 
the enactment of this Act and on October 1, 1997, or as soon as 
possible thereafter, the Secretary shall allocate among the States the 
amounts made available, as a result of section 203, to carry out this 
section for fiscal years 1996 and 1997, respectively, for projects 
eligible for assistance under chapter 1 of title 23, United States 
Code.

            establish criteria and define any terms necessary for 
            implementing the program consistent with this section. In 
            establishing the criteria, the Secretary may consider to 
            what extent and under what conditions safety management 
            controls may substitute, in whole or in part, for 
            compliance with some or all of the regulations prescribed 
            under this section and sections 504 and 31502.
                ``(ii) Limitation.--Notwithstanding clause (i), the 
            program shall take effect on or before the 270th day 
            following the date of the enactment of this paragraph. If 
            the rulemaking described in clause (i) is not completed on 
            or before such 270th day, the Secretary shall issue interim 
            criteria, consistent with this section, pending the 
            completion of the rulemaking described in this subsection.
            ``(K) Eligible vehicles.--For purposes of this subsection, 
        the term `eligible vehicle' means a commercial motor vehicle 
        with a gross vehicle weight rating of at least 10,001 pounds, 
        but not more than 26,000 pounds, other than a vehicle--

            transported in a quantity requiring placarding under the 
            regulations issued under such section.
        ``(3) Review of regulations.--Based in part on the information 
    and experience obtained from the program, the Secretary shall 
    conduct a zero-based review of the need for, and the costs and 
    benefits of, all regulations prescribed under this section and 
    sections 504 and 31502 to determine whether and to what extent such 
    regulations should apply to eligible vehicles. The review shall 
    focus on the appropriate level of safety that is in the public 
    interest and the paperwork and regulatory burdens of such 
    regulations as the regulations apply to employers and employees 
    that use such vehicles. The Secretary shall complete the review by 
    the last day of the 3-year period beginning on the date of the 
    enactment of this paragraph. Upon completion of the review, the 
    Secretary shall, after notice and an opportunity for public 
    comment, grant such exemptions or modify or repeal existing 
    regulations to the extent appropriate.''.
    SEC. 345. EXEMPTIONS FROM REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO COMMERCIAL MOTOR 
      VEHICLES AND THEIR OPERATORS.
    (a) Exemptions.--
        (1) Transportation of agricultural commodities and farm 
    supplies.--Regulations prescribed by the Secretary under sections 
    31136 and 31502 of title 49, United States Code, regarding maximum 
    driving and on-duty time for drivers used by motor carriers shall 
    not apply to drivers transporting agricultural commodities or farm 
    supplies for agricultural purposes in a State if such 
    transportation is limited to an area within a 100 air mile radius 
    from the source of the commodities or the distribution point for 
    the farm supplies and is during the planting and harvesting seasons 
    within such State, as determined by the State.
        (2) Transportation and operation of ground water well drilling 
    rigs.--Such regulations shall, in the case of a driver of a 
    commercial motor vehicle who is used primarily in the 
    transportation and operation of a ground water well drilling rig, 
    permit any period of 7 or 8 consecutive days to end with the 
    beginning of an off-duty period of 24 or more consecutive hours for 
    the purposes of determining maximum driving and on-duty time.
        (3) Transportation of construction materials and equipment.--
    Such regulations shall, in the case of a driver of a commercial 
    motor vehicle who is used primarily in the transportation of 
    construction materials and equipment, permit any period of 7 or 8 
    consecutive days to end with the beginning of an off-duty period of 
    24 or more consecutive hours for the purposes of determining 
    maximum driving and on-duty time.
        (4) Drivers of utility service vehicles.--Such regulations 
    shall, in the case of a driver of a utility service vehicle, permit 
    any period of 7 or 8 consecutive days to end with the beginning of 
    an off-duty period of 24 or more consecutive hours for the purposes 
    of determining maximum driving and on-duty time.
        (5) Snow and ice removal.--A State may waive the requirements 
    of chapter 313 of title 49, United States Code, with respect to a 
    vehicle that is being operated within the boundaries of an eligible 
    unit of local government by an employee of such unit for the 
    purpose of removing snow or ice from a roadway by plowing, sanding, 
    or salting. Such waiver authority shall only apply in a case where 
    the employee is needed to operate the vehicle because the employee 
    of the eligible unit of local government who ordinarily operates 
    the vehicle and who has a commercial drivers license is unable to 
    operate the vehicle or is in need of additional assistance due to a 
    snow emergency.
    (b) Preemption.--Nothing contained in this section shall require 
the preemption of State laws and regulations concerning the safe 
operation of commercial motor vehicles as the result of exemptions from 
Federal requirements provided under this section.
    (c) Review by the Secretary.--The Secretary may conduct a 
rulemaking proceeding to determine whether granting any exemption 
provided by subsection (a) (other than paragraph (2)) is not in the 
public interest and would have a significant adverse impact on the 
safety of commercial motor vehicles. If, at any time as a result of 
such a proceeding, the Secretary determines that granting such 
exemption would not be in the public interest and would have a 
significant adverse impact on the safety of commercial motor vehicles, 
the Secretary may prevent the exemption from going into effect, modify 
the exemption, or revoke the exemption. The Secretary may develop a 
program to monitor the exemption, including agreements with carriers to 
permit the Secretary to examine insurance information maintained by an 
insurer on a carrier.
    (d) Report.--The Secretary shall monitor the commercial motor 
vehicle safety performance of drivers of vehicles that are subject to 
an exemption under this section. If the Secretary determines that 
public safety has been adversely affected by an exemption granted under 
this section, the Secretary shall report to Congress on the 
determination.

    between initial mobilization of equipment and materials to the site 
    to the final completion of the construction project) within a 50 
    air mile radius of the normal work reporting location of the 
    driver. This paragraph does not apply to the transportation of 
    material found by the Secretary to be hazardous under section 5103 
    of title 49, United States Code, in a quantity requiring placarding 
    under regulations issued to carry out such section.
        (5) Eligible unit of local government.--The term ``eligible

    SEC. 346. WINTER HOME HEATING OIL DELIVERY STATE FLEXIBILITY 
      PROGRAM.
    (a) In General.--After notice and opportunity for comment, the 
Secretary shall develop and implement a pilot program for the purpose 
of evaluating waivers of the regulations issued by the Secretary 
pursuant to sections 31136 and 31502 of title 49, United States Code, 
relating to maximum on-duty time, and sections 31102 and 31104(j) of 
such title, relating to the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program, to 
permit any period of 7 or 8 consecutive days to end with the beginning 
of an off-duty period of 24 or more consecutive hours for the purposes 
of determining maximum on-duty time for drivers of motor vehicles 
making intrastate home heating oil deliveries that occur within 100 air 
miles of a central terminal or distribution point of the delivery of 
such oil. The Secretary may approve up to 5 States to participate in 
the pilot program during the winter heating season in the 6-month 
period beginning on November 1, 1996.
    (b) Approval Criteria.--The Secretary shall select States to 
participate in the pilot program upon approval of applications 
submitted by States to the Secretary. The Secretary shall act on a 
State's application within 30 days after the date of its submission. 
The Secretary may only approve an application of a State under this 
section if the Secretary finds, at a minimum, that--
        (1) a substantial number of the citizens of the State rely on 
    home heating oil for heat during winter months;
        (2) current maximum on-duty time regulations may endanger the 
    welfare of these citizens by impeding timely deliveries of home 
    heating oil;
        (3) the State will ensure an equal to or greater level of 
    safety with respect to home heating oil deliveries than the level 
    of safety resulting from compliance with the regulations referred 
    to in subsection (a);
        (4) the State will monitor the safety of home heating oil 
    deliveries while participating in the program;
        (5) employers of deliverers of home heating oil that will be 
    covered by the program will agree to make all safety data developed 
    from the pilot program available to the State and to the Secretary;
        (6) the State will only permit employers of deliverers of home 
    heating oil with satisfactory safety records to be covered by the 
    program; and
        (7) the State will comply with such other criteria as the 
    Secretary determines are necessary to implement the program 
    consistent with this section.
    (c) Participation in Program.--Upon approval of an application of a 
State under this section, the Secretary shall permit the State to 
participate in the pilot program for an initial period of 15 days 
during the winter heating season of the State (as determined by the 
Governor and the Secretary). If, after the last day of such 15-day 
period, the Secretary finds that a State's continued participation in 
the program is consistent with this section and has resulted in no 
significant adverse impact on public safety and is in the public 
interest, the Secretary shall extend the State's participation in the 
program for periods of up to 30 additional days during such heating 
season.
    (d) Suspension From Program.--The Secretary may suspend a State's 
participation in the pilot program at any time if the Secretary finds--
        (1) that the State has not complied with any of the criteria 
    for participation in the program under this section;
        (2) that a State's participation in the program has caused a 
    significant adverse impact on public safety and is not in the 
    public interest; or
        (3) the existence of an emergency.
    (e) Review by Secretary.--Within 90 days after the completion of 
the pilot program, the Secretary shall initiate a rulemaking to 
determine, based in part on the results of the program, whether to--
        (1) permit a State to grant waivers of the regulations referred 
    to in subsection (a) to motor carriers transporting home heating 
    oil within the borders of the State, subject to such conditions as 
    the Secretary may impose, if the Secretary determines that such 
    waivers by the State meet the conditions in section 31136(e) of 
    title 49, United States Code; or
        (2) amend the regulations referred to in subsection (a) as may 
    be necessary to provide flexibility to motor carriers delivering 
    home heating oil during winter periods of peak demand.
    (f) Definition.--In this section, the term ``7 or 8 consecutive 
days'' has the meaning such term has under section 345 of this Act.

SEC. 347. SAFETY REPORT.

    Not later than September 30, 1997, the Secretary, in cooperation 
with any State which raises any speed limit in such State to a level 
above the level permitted under section 154 of title 23, United States 
Code, as such section was in effect on September 15, 1995, shall 
prepare and submit to Congress a study of--
        (1) the costs to such State of deaths and injuries resulting 
    from motor vehicle crashes; and
        (2) the benefits associated with the repeal of the national 
    maximum speed limit.
    SEC. 348. MORATORIUM ON CERTAIN EMISSIONS TESTING REQUIREMENTS.
    (a) In General.--The Administrator of the Environmental Protection 
Agency (hereinafter in this section referred to as the 
``Administrator'') shall not require adoption or implementation by a 
State of a test-only I/M240 enhanced vehicle inspection and maintenance 
program as a means of compliance with section 182 or 187 of the Clean 
Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7511a; 7512a), but the Administrator may approve 
such a program if a State chooses to adopt the program as a means of 
compliance with such section.
    (b) Limitation on Plan Disapproval.--The Administrator shall not 
disapprove or apply an automatic discount to a State implementation 
plan revision under section 182 or 187 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 
7511a; 7512a) on the basis of a policy, regulation, or guidance 
providing for a discount of emissions credits because the inspection 
and maintenance program in such plan revision is decentralized or a 
test-and-repair program.
    (c) Emissions Reduction Credits.--
        (1) State plan revision; approval.--Within 120 days of the date 
    of the enactment of this subsection, a State may submit an 
    implementation plan revision proposing an interim inspection and 
    maintenance program under section 182 or 187 of the Clean Air Act 
    (42 U.S.C. 7511a; 7512a). The Administrator shall approve the 
    program based on the full amount of credits proposed by the State 
    for each element of the program if the proposed credits reflect 
    good faith estimates by the State and the revision is otherwise in 
    compliance with such Act. If, within such 120-day period, the State 
    submits to the Administrator proposed revisions to the 
    implementation plan, has all of the statutory authority necessary 
    to implement the revisions, and has proposed a regulation to make 
    the revisions, the Administrator may approve the revisions without 
    regard to whether or not such regulation has been issued as a final 
    regulation by the State.
        (2) Expiration of interim approval.--The interim approval shall 
    expire on the earlier of (A) the last day of the 18-month period 
    beginning on the date of the interim approval, or (B) the date of 
    final approval. The interim approval may not be extended.
        (3) Final approval.--The Administrator shall grant final 
    approval of the revision based on the credits proposed by the State 
    during or after the period of interim approval if data collected on 
    the operation of the State program demonstrates that the credits 
    are appropriate and the revision is otherwise in compliance with 
    the Clean Air Act.
        (4) Basis of approval; no automatic discount.--Any 
    determination with respect to interim or full approval shall be 
    based on the elements of the program and shall not apply any 
    automatic discount because the program is decentralized or a test-
    and-repair program.

SEC. 349. ROADS ON FEDERAL LANDS.

    (a) Moratorium.--

                TITLE IV--WOODROW WILSON MEMORIAL BRIDGE

SEC. 401. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge 
Authority Act of 1995''.

SEC. 402. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
        (1) traffic congestion imposes serious economic burdens on the 
    metropolitan Washington, D.C., area, costing each commuter an 
    estimated $1,000 per year;
        (2) the volume of traffic in the metropolitan Washington, D.C., 
    area is expected to increase by more than 70 percent between 1990 
    and 2020;
        (3) the deterioration of the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge and 
    the growing population of the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area 
    contribute significantly to traffic congestion;
        (4) the Bridge serves as a vital link in the Interstate System 
    and in the Northeast corridor;
        (5) identifying alternative methods for maintaining this vital 
    link of the Interstate System is critical to addressing the traffic 
    congestion of the area;
        (6) the Bridge is--
            (A) the only drawbridge in the metropolitan Washington, 
        D.C., area on the Interstate System;
            (B) the only segment of the Capital Beltway with only 6 
        lanes; and
            (C) the only segment of the Capital Beltway with a 
        remaining expected life of less than 10 years;
        (7) the Bridge is the only part of the Interstate System owned 
    by the Federal Government;
        (8)(A) the Bridge was constructed by the Federal Government;
        (B) prior to the date of the enactment of this Act, the Federal 
    Government has contributed 100 percent of the cost of building and 
    rehabilitating the Bridge; and
        (C) the Federal Government has a continuing responsibility to 
    fund future costs associated with the upgrading of the Interstate 
    Route 95 crossing, including the rehabilitation and reconstruction 
    of the Bridge;
        (9) the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge Coordination Committee 
    is undertaking planning studies pertaining to the Bridge, 
    consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 
    U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and other applicable Federal laws;
        (10) the transfer of ownership of the Bridge to a regional 
    entity under the terms and conditions described in this title would 
    foster regional transportation planning efforts to identify 
    solutions to the growing problem of traffic congestion on and 
    around the Bridge;
        (11) any material change to the Bridge must take into account 
    the interests of nearby communities, the commuting public, Federal, 
    State, and local government organizations, and other affected 
    groups; and
        (12) a commission of congressional, State, and local officials 
    and transportation representatives has recommended to the Secretary 
    that the Bridge be transferred to an independent authority to be 
    established by the Capital Region jurisdictions.

SEC. 403. PURPOSES.

    The purposes of this title are--
