(3) Adjustment of apportionments where unfunded authorizations exceed 4 years’ receipts
(A) Determination of percentage
If, before any apportionment to the States is made, in the most recent estimate made by the Secretary of the Treasury there is an excess referred to in paragraph (2)(B), the Secretary of Transportation shall determine the percentage which—
