SEC. 352. (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The condition of highway, railway, and waterway infra-
structure across the Nation varies widely and is in need of 
improvement and investment. 
(2) Thousands of tons of hazardous materials, including 
a very small amount of high-level radioactive material, are 
transported along the Nation's highways, railways, and water-
ways each year. 
(3) The volume of hazardous material transport increased 
by over one-third in the last 25 years and is expected to continue 
to increase. Some propose significantly increasing radioactive 
material transport. 
(4) Approximately 261,000 people were evacuated across 
the Nation because of rail-related incidents involving hazardous 
materials between 1978 and 1995, and during that period 
industry reported 8 transportation accidents involving the small 
volume of high level radioactive waste transported during that 
period. 
(5) The Federal Railroad Administration has significantly 
decreased railroad inspections and has allocated few resources 
since 1993 to assure the structural integrity of railroad bridges. 
Train derailments have increased by 18 percent over roughly 
the same period. 
PUBLIC LAW 107-87—DEC. 18, 2001 
115 STAT. 869 
(6) The poor condition of highway, railway, and waterway 
infrastructure, increases in the voliune of hazardous material 
trguisport, and proposed increases in radioactive material trans-
