(5) distribute the obligation limitation provided for Federal-

(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 para-
graphs (4) and (5) for Federal-aid highways and highway safety
construction programs (other than the minimum guarantee pro-
gram, 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—

(c) 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 during that fiscal year and redis-
tribute sufficient amounts to those States able to obligate amounts
in addition to those previously distributed during that fiscal year
giving priority to those States having large unobligated balances
of funds apportioned under sections 104 and 144 of title 23, United
States Code, section 160 (as in effect on the day before the enact-
ment of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century) of
title 23, United States Code, and under section 1015 of the Inter-

States Code, except that obligation authority made available for
such programs under such limitation shall remain available for
a period of 3 fiscal years.
(e) Not later than 30 days after the date of the distribution
of obligation limitation under subsection (a), the Secretary shall
distribute to the States any funds: (1) that are authorized to be

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) Obligation limitation distributed for a fiscal year under
subsection (a)(4) of this section for a section set forth in subsection
(a)(4) shall remain available until used and shall be in addition
to the amount of any limitation imposed on obligations for Federal-
aid highway and highway safety construction programs for future
fiscal years.
SEC. 311. (a) No recipient of funds made available in this
Act shall disseminate personal information (as defined in 18 U.S.C.
2725(3)) obtained by a State department of motor vehicles in connec-
tion with a motor vehicle record as defined in 18 U.S.C. 2725(1),
except as provided in 18 U.S.C. 2721 for a use permitted under

and maintained by FAA in accordance with agency criteria.

under 49 U.S.C. 5309.
SEC. 315. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any
funds appropriated before October 1, 2002, under any section of
