TITLE I 
SECTION 101. The consent of Congress is hereby given to the States 
of Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Mary-
land, and to the District of Columbia to enter into a compact on taxa-
tion of motor fuels consumed by interstate buses. But before any 
other States, any Province of Canada, or any State or territory or 
the Federal District of Mexico shall be made a party to such compact, 
the further consent of Congress shall first be obtained. Such compact 
shall be in substantially the following form: 
"COMPACT ON TAXATION O F MOTOR F U E L S 
CONSUMED BY INTERSTATE BUSES

"(a) avoid multiple taxation of motor fuels consumed by 
interstate buses and to assure each State of its fair share of motor 
fuel taxes; 
"(b) establish and facilitate the administration of a criterion 
of motor fuel taxation for interstate buses which is reasonably 
related to the use of highway and related facilities and services 
in each of the party States; and 
"(c) encourage the availability of a maximum number of buses 
for intrastate service by removing motor fuel taxation as a 
deterrent in the routing of interstate buses. 
"ARTICLE II—DEFINITIONS 
"(a) State: State shall include the States of the United States, the 
District of Columbia, the territories of the United States, the Prov-
inces of Canada, and the States, Territories, and Federal District 
of Mexico.

whith is a party to this agreement. 
"(c) Administrator: Administrator shall mean the official or 
agency of a State administering the motor fuel taxes involved. 
"(d) Person: Person shall include any individual, firm, copartner-
ship, joint venture, association, corporation, estate, trust, business

with the regulation of passenger transport. 
"(f) Gallon: Gallon shall mean the liquid measure containing 231 
cubic inches. 
"ARTICLE III—GOVERNING PRINCIPLE 
"For purposes of this compact, the primar;^ principle for the im-
position of motor fuel taxes shall be consumption of such fuel within 
the State. Motor fuel consumed by buses shall be taxed on the exist-
ing basis, as it may be from time to time, and under the procedures 
for collection of such taxes by each party State, except that to the 
extent that this compact makes provision therefor, or for any matter 
connected therewith, such provision shall govern. 
"ARTICLE IV—How FUEL CONSUMED To B E ASCERTAINED 
"The amount of fuel used in the operation of any bus within this 
State shall be conclusively presumed to be the number of miles oper-
ated by such bus within the State divided by the average mileage per 
gallon obtained by the bus during the tax period in all operations, 
whether within or without the party State. Any owner or operator 
of two or more buses shall calculate average mileage within the mean-
ing of this article by computing single average figures covering all 
buses owned or operated by him. 
"ARTICLE V—IMPOSITION OF TAX 
"Every owner or operator of buses shall pay to the party State 
taxes equivalent to the amount of tax per gallon multiplied by the 
number of gallons used in its operations in the party State. 
"ARTICLE VI—REPORTS 
"On or before the last business day of the month following the 
month being reported upon, each bus owner or operator subject to the 
payment of fuel taxes pursuant to this compact shall make such 
reports of its operations as the State administrator of motor fuel 
taxes may require and shall furnish the State administrator in each 
other party State wherein his buses operate a copy of such report. 
"ARTICLE VII—CREDIT FOR PAYMENT OF FUEL TAXES 
"Each bus owner or operator shall be entitled to a credit equivalent 
to the amount of tax per gallon on all motor fuel purchased by such 
operator within the party State for use in operations either within or 
without the party State, and upon which the motor fuel tax imposed 
by the laws of such party State has been paid. 
"ARTICLE VIII—ADDITIONAL TAX OR REFUND 
"If the bus owner or operator's monthly report shows a debit 
balance after taking credit pursuant to article VII, a remittance in 
such net amount due shall be made with the report. 
If the report 
shows a credit balance, after taking credit as herein provided, a 
refund in such net amount as has l^en overpaid shall oe made by 
the party State to such owner or operator.

"BUS TAXATION PKORATION AND RECIPROCITY 
AGREEMENT 
"ARTICLE I—PURPOSES AND PRINCIPLES 
"SEC. 1. Purposes of agreement: It is the purpose of this agree-
ment to set up a system whereby any contracting State may permit 
owners of fleets of buses operating in two or more States to prorate 
the registration of the buses in such fleets in each State in which the 
fleets operate on the basis of the proportion of miles operated within 
such State to total fleet miles, as defined herein. 
"SEC. 2. Principle of proration of registration: It is hereby declared 
that in making this agreement the contracting States adhere to the 
principle that each State should have the freedom to develop the 
kind of highway user tax structure that it determines to be most 
appropriate to itself, that the method of taxation of interstate buses 
should not be a determining factor in developing its user tax struc-
ture, and that annual taxes or other.taxes of the fixed-fee type upon 
buses which are not imposed on a basis that reflects the amount of 
highway use should be apportioned among the States, within the 
limits of practicality, on the basis of vehicle miles traveled within 
each of the States. 
"ARTICLE II—DEFINITIONS

District of Columbia, the territories of the United States, the Prov-

In order that this section may not be used for the 
purpose of evasion of registration fees, the administrators of the 
contracting States may make the final decision as to the proper base 
State, in accordance with article I l l ( h ) hereof, to prevent or avoid 
such evasion. 
"(f) Bus: Bus shall mean any motor vehicle of a bus type engaged

"ARTICLE IV—PRORATIOX OF REGISTRATION 
"(a) Applicability: Any owner of a fleet may register the buses of

proportion of in-State fleet miles divided by the total fleet miles, to 
the total fees which would otherwise be required for regular registra-
tion of each of all such vehicles in such contracting State. 
"All fleet pro rata registration fees shall be based upon the mile- yg^^^^^*""°" 
age proportions of the fleet during the period of twelve months end-
ing on August 31 next preceding the commencement of the registra-
tion year for which registration is sought: Except, that mileage pro-
portions for a fleet not operated during such period in the State where 
application for registration is made will be determined by the Ad-
ministrator upon the sworn application of the applicant showing the 
operations during such period in other States and the estimated oper-
ations during the registration year for which registration is sought, 
in the State in which application is being made; or if no operations 
were conducted during such period a full statement of the proposed 
method of operation. 
"If any buses operate in two or more States which permit the 
proration of registration on the basis of a fleet of buses consisting of 
a lesser number of vehicles than provided in article 11(g), such fleet 
may be prorated as to registration in such States, in which event the 
buses in such fleet shall not be required to register in any other 
contracting States if each such vehicle is registered in some contract-
ing State (except to the extent it is exempt from registration as 
provided in article I l l ( b ) ) . 
"If the administrator of any State determines, based on his method bJ^t'^^t^Vwn°f 
of the operation thereof, that the inclusion of a bus or buses as a state. 
part of a fleet would adversely affect the proper fleet fee which should 
be paid to his State, having due regard for fairness and equity, he 
may refuse to permit any or all of such buses to be included in his 
State as a part of such fleet. 
"(b) Total fleet miles: Total fleet miles, with respect to each con-
tracting State, shall mean the total miles operated by the fleet (1) 
in such State, (2) in all other contracting States, (3) in other States

as the administrator determines should be included under the cir-
cumstances in order to protect or promote the interest of his State; 
except that in States having laws requiring proration on the basis 
of a different determination of total fleet miles, total fleet miles shall 
be determined on such basis.

contracting State pursuant to this article, each bus in the fleet may 
be operated in both interstate and intrastate operations in such State

registration shall be made in each contracting State upon substan-
tially the application forms and supplements authorized by joint 
action of the administrators of the contracting States.

State which is the base State of a particular bus of the fleet shall 
issue the required license plates and registration card for such bus 
and each contracting State in which the fleet of which such bus is a 
part operates shall issue a special identification identifying such bus 
as a part of a fleet which has fully complied with the registration 
requirements of such State. The required license plates, registra-
tion cards, and identification shall be appropriately displayed in the 
manner required by or pursuant to the laws of each respective State. 
"(g) Additions to fleet: If any bus is added to a prorated fleet after 
the filing of the original application, the owner shall file a supple-
mental application. 
The owner shall register such bus in each con-
tracting State in like manner as provided for buses listed in an origi-
nal application and the registration fee payable shall be determined 
on the mileage proportion used to determme the registration fees pay-
able for buses registered under the original application. 
"(h) Withdrawals from fleet: If any bus is withdrawn from a pro-
rated fleet during the period for which it is registered or identified, 
the owner shall notify the administrator of each State in which it 
is registered or identified of such withdrawal and shall return the 
plates and registration card or identification as may be required by 
or pursuant to the laws of the respective States.

within the statutory authority of such administrator, make any in-
formation obtained upon an audit of records of any applicant for 
proration of registration available to the administrators of the other

tor of a contracting State, as a result of such audits or otherwise,

registered or identified as part of a prorated fleet. 
"(d) Extent of reciprocity: The reciprocity granted pursuant to 
this article shall permit the interstate operation of a bus and intra-

strued to prohibit any of the contracting States from entering into 
separate agreements with each other for the granting of temporary 
germits for the intrastate operation of vehicles registered in the other 
tate; nor to prevent any of the contracting States from entering into 
agreements to grant reciprocity for intrastate operation within any 
zone or zones agreed upon by the States.

marketing year means the amount of the kind of tobacco produced 
in the United States which the Secretary estimates will be utilized 
during the marketing year in the United States and will be exported 
during the marketing year, adjusted upward or downward in such 
amount as the Secretary, in his discretion, determines is desirable for 
the purpose of maintaining an adequate supply or for effecting an

downward adjustment shall not exceed 15 per centum of such estimated 
utilization and exports. 
"(2) 'National average yield goal' for any kind of tobacco means the 
yield per acre which on a national average basis the Secretary deter-
mines will improve or insure the usability of the tobacco and increase 
the net return per pound to the growers. In making this determination
