GENERAL PROVISIONS—FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION
SEC. 110. (a) For fiscal year 2005, the Secretary of Transpor-
tation shall—
(1) not distribute from the obligation limitation for Federal-
aid highways amounts authorized for administrative expenses
and programs funded from the administrative takedown author-
ized by section 104(a)(1)(A) of title 23, United States Code,
for the highway use tax evasion program, for the Bureau of
Transportation Statistics, and for the programs, projects, and
activities funded from the takedown authorized by section 117
of this Act;
(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 prior fiscal
years 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 para-
graphs (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 sub-
section (b) and sums authorized to be appropriated for
section 105 of title 23, United States Code, equal to the
amount referred to in subsection (b)(8)) for such fiscal
year less the aggregate of the amounts not distributed
under paragraph (1) of this subsection;
H. R. 4818—402
(4) distribute the obligation limitation for Federal-aid high-
ways less the aggregate amounts not distributed under para-
graphs (1) and (2) for section 201 of the Appalachian Regional
Development Act of 1965 and $2,000,000,000 for such 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 para-
graph (4) for each of the programs that are allocated by the
Secretary under title 23, United States Code (other than activi-
ties to which paragraph (1) applies and programs to which
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 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—
(A) sums authorized to be appropriated for such pro-
grams that are apportioned to each State for such fiscal
year, bear to
(B) the total of the sums authorized to be appropriated
for such programs that are apportioned to all States for
such fiscal year.
(b) EXCEPTIONS FROM OBLIGATION LIMITATION.—The obligation
limitation for Federal-aid highways shall not apply to obligations:

the 21st Century; (8) under section 105 of title 23, United States
Code (but, only in an amount equal to $639,000,000 for such fiscal
year); and (9) for Federal-aid highway programs for which obligation
