                years.
    (e) Redistribution of Certain Authorized Funds.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 30 days after the date of 
        distribution of obligation limitation under subsection (a), the

Transportation for the State or territory for which the earmarked 
amount was originally designated or directed notifies the Secretary of 
its intent to use its authority under this section and submits an

funding would be applied. Notwithstanding the original period of 
availability of funds to be obligated under this section, such funds 
and associated obligation limitation shall remain available for 
obligation for a period of 3 fiscal years after the fiscal year in 
which the Secretary is notified. The Federal share of the cost of a 
project carried out with funds made available under this section shall 
be the same as associated with the earmark.
    (b) In this section, the term ``earmarked amount'' means--
            (1) congressionally directed spending, as defined in rule 
        XLIV of the Standing Rules of the Senate, identified in a prior

        fiscal years prior to the current fiscal year, and administered 
        by the Federal Highway Administration.
    (c) The authority under subsection (a) may be exercised only for 
those projects or activities that have obligated less than 10 percent 
of the amount made available for obligation as of October 1 of the 
current fiscal year, and shall be applied to projects within the same 
general geographic area within 25 miles for which the funding was 
designated, except that a State or territory may apply such authority 
to unexpended balances of funds from projects or activities the State 
or territory certifies have been closed and for which payments have 
been made under a final voucher.
    (d) The Secretary shall submit consolidated reports of the 
information provided by the States and territories annually to the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations.
    Sec. 125.  Until final guidance is published, the Administrator of 
the Federal Highway Administration shall adjudicate requests for Buy 
America waivers under the criteria that were in effect prior to April 
17, 2018.
    Sec. 126.  Section 1105(e)(5)(A) of the Intermodal Surface 
Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (Public Law 102-240; 105 Stat.

        delays resulting from the use of such hiring preference does

determined that, in any prior formula allocation administered by the

Housing'', ``Community Planning and Development'' and ``Housing 
Programs'' under this title, a recipient received an allocation larger 
than the amount such recipient should have received for a formula 
allocation cycle pursuant to applicable statutes and regulations, the 
Secretary may adjust for any such funding error from available balances 
in the next feasible formula allocation cycle by (a) offsetting each 
such recipient's formula allocation (if eligible for a formula 
allocation in such subsequent cycle) by the amount of any such funding 
error; and (b) re-allocating the offset amount to the recipient or 
recipients that would have been allocated the funds in the cycle in 
which any such error occurred (if eligible for a formula allocation 
under such subsequent cycle) in an amount proportionate to such 
subsequent cycle's formula amount or formula component amount:  
Provided, That all offsets and reallocations from such available 
balances shall be recognized in the fiscal year of such adjustments 
instead of the fiscal year of any error, notwithstanding any 
inconsistent fiscal year accounting or other requirements:  Provided 
further, That if, upon request by a recipient and giving consideration 
to all Federal resources available to the recipient for that purpose, 
the Secretary determines that the offset in such subsequent formula 
allocation would critically impair the recipient's ability to 
accomplish the purpose of the grant, the Secretary may adjust for the 
funding error in two or more formula cycles and reallocate such offset 
amounts in accordance with (b) in the matter preceding the first 
proviso.

                                TITLE V

                    REFORMING DISASTER RECOVERY ACT

                              short title

    Sec. 501.  This title may be cited as the ``Reforming Disaster 
Recovery Act''.

                                findings

    Sec. 502.  Congress finds that--
            (1) following a major disaster declared by the President 
        under section 401 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 
        Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5170), the subset of 
        communities that are most impacted and distressed as a result 
        of the disaster face critical social, economic, and 
        environmental obstacles to recovery, including insufficient 
        public and private resources to address disaster-related 
        housing and community development needs for lower income 
        households and distressed communities;
            (2) unmet disaster recovery needs, including housing 
        assistance needs, can be especially widespread among persons 
        with extremely low, low, and moderate incomes;
            (3) economic, social, and housing hardships that affect 
        communities before disasters are exacerbated during crises and 
        can delay and complicate long-term recovery, especially after 
        catastrophic major disasters;
            (4) States, units of local government, and Indian Tribes 
        within the most impacted and distressed areas resulting from 
        major disasters benefit from flexibility to design programs 
        that meet local needs, but face inadequate financial, 
        technical, and staffing capacity to plan and carry out 
        sustained recovery, restoration, and mitigation activities;
            (5) the speed and effectiveness considerations of long-term 
        recovery from catastrophic major disasters is improved by 
        predictable investments that support disaster relief, long-term 
        recovery, restoration of housing and infrastructure, and 
        economic revitalization, primarily for the benefit of low- and 
        moderate-income persons;
            (6) undertaking activities that mitigate the effects of 
        future natural disasters and extreme weather and increase the 
        stock of affordable housing, including affordable rental 
        housing, as part of long-term recovery can significantly reduce 
        future fiscal and social costs, especially within high-risk 
        areas, and can help to address outstanding housing and 
        community development needs by creating jobs and providing 
        other economic and social benefits within communities that 
        further promote recovery and resilience; and
            (7) the general welfare and security of the nation and the 
        health and living standards of its people require targeted 
        resources to support State and local governments in carrying 
        out their responsibilities in disaster recovery and mitigation 
        through interim and long-term housing and community development 
        activities that primarily benefit persons of low and moderate 
        income.
