intent that local needs, to the extent practicable, suitable, and

feasible, shall be given equal consideration with the needs of

interstate commerce.

It is further declared that since the Interstate System is now in

the final phase of completion it shall be the national policy that

increased emphasis be placed on the construction and reconstruction

of the other Federal-aid systems in accordance with the first

paragraph of this subsection, in order to bring all of the

Federal-aid systems up to standards and to increase the safety of

these systems to the maximum extent.

(c) It is the sense of Congress that under existing law no part

of any sums authorized to be appropriated for expenditure upon any

Federal-aid system which has been apportioned pursuant to the

provisions of this title shall be impounded or withheld from

obligation, for purposes and projects as provided in this title, by

any officer or employee in the executive branch of the Federal

Government, except such specific sums as may be determined by the

Secretary of the Treasury, after consultation with the Secretary of

Transportation, are necessary to be withheld from obligation for

specific periods of time to assure that sufficient amounts will be

available in the Highway Trust Fund to defray the expenditures

which will be required to be made from such fund.

(d) No funds authorized to be appropriated from the Highway Trust

Fund shall be expended by or on behalf of any Federal department,

agency, or instrumentality other than the Federal Highway

Administration unless funds for such expenditure are identified and

included as a line item in an appropriation Act and are to meet

obligations of the United States heretofore or hereafter incurred

under this title attributable to the construction of Federal-aid

highways or highway planning, research, or development, or as

otherwise specifically authorized to be appropriated from the

Highway Trust Fund by Federal-aid highway legislation.

(e) It is the national policy that to the maximum extent possible

the procedures to be utilized by the Secretary and all other

affected heads of Federal departments, agencies, and

instrumentalities for carrying out this title and any other

provision of law relating to the Federal highway programs shall

encourage the substantial minimization of paperwork and interagency

decision procedures and the best use of available manpower and

funds so as to prevent needless duplication and unnecessary delays

at all levels of government.

Stat. 2494, which is not classified to the Code], for the fiscal

year ending September 30, 1996. Nothing in this subsection shall be

construed to authorize the appropriation of any sums to carry out

sections 131, 136, or 319(b) of title 23, United States Code, or

any provision of law relating to highway safety enacted after May

1, 1966. Beginning with funds authorized to be appropriated for

fiscal year 1980, no such funds shall be available for projects to

expand or clear zones immediately adjacent to the paved roadway of

routes designed prior to February, 1967. Effective on and after the

date of enactment of this sentence [Dec. 29, 1981], the obligation

of funds authorized by this subsection, except for advance

construction interstate projects approved before the date of

enactment of this sentence, shall be limited to the construction

necessary to provide a minimum level of acceptable service on the

Interstate System which shall consist of (1) full access control;

(2) a pavement design to accommodate the types and volumes of

traffic anticipated for the twenty-year period from date of

authorization of the initial basic construction contract; (3)

essential environmental requirements; (4) a design of not more than

six lanes (exclusive of high occupancy vehicle lanes) in rural

areas and all urbanized areas under four hundred thousand

population, and up to eight lanes (exclusive of high occupancy

vehicle lanes) in urbanized areas of four hundred thousand

population or more as shown in the 1980 Federal census; and (5)

those high occupancy vehicle lanes (including approaches and all

directly related facilities) included in the interstate cost

estimate for fiscal year 1981. The obligation of funds authorized

by this subsection shall be further limited to the actual costs of

only those design concepts, locations, geometrics, and other

construction features included in the 1981 interstate cost

estimate, except in any case where the Secretary of Transportation

determines that a provision of Federal law requires a different

design, location, geometric, or other construction feature of a

type authorized by this subsection. Notwithstanding any other

provision of law, including any other provision of this subsection,

where a project is to be constructed (1) to provide parking garage

ramps in conjunction with high occupancy vehicle lanes which flow

into a distributor system emptying directly into ramps for

off-street parking with preferential parking for carpools,

vanpools, and buses and the ramps are part of an environmental

mitigation effort and are designed to feed into an aerial walkway

system, or (2) to provide a parking lot near the terminus of an

Interstate System spur route which radiates from an Interstate

System beltway which will be used as an intermodal transfer

facility for a light rail transit project to be constructed in the

median of the spur route and the parking lot is part of an

environmental mitigation effort, or (3) to provide a parking garage

and associated facilities as part of an intermodal transfer

facility with a transit system near or within an Interstate System

route right-of-way which will have direct and indirect access to

the facility by way of local streets and the parking garage and

associated facilities are part of an environmental mitigation

effort, or (4) to provide for the comprehensive upgrading of

existing high occupancy vehicle lanes, new ramps and parking

facilities at mass transit intermodal transfer points on an

existing Interstate System route which has temporary high occupancy

vehicle lanes in the median and the parking facilities and ramps

are part of an environmental mitigation effort, the costs of such

parking garage ramps, parking lots, parking garages, associated

interchange ramps, high occupancy vehicle lanes, and other

associated work eligible under title 23, United States Code, shall

be eligible for funds authorized by this subsection as if the costs

for these projects were included in the 1981 interstate cost

estimate and shall be included as eligible projects in any future

interstate cost estimate. For purposes of this subsection,

construction necessary to provide a minimum level of acceptable

service on the Interstate System shall include, but not be limited

to, any construction on the Interstate System which is required

under a court order issued before the date of enactment of this

sentence. Notwithstanding the fifth sentence of this subsection,

the costs of a project which will upgrade an interstate route and

will complete a gap on the Interstate System providing access to an

international airport and which was described as the preferred

alternative in a final environmental impact statement submitted to

the Secretary of Transportation on September 30, 1983, shall be

eligible for funds authorized by this subsection as if such costs

were included in the 1981 interstate cost estimate and shall be

included as eligible costs in any future interstate cost estimate,

except that (1) such costs may be further developed in the design

and environmental process under normal Federal-aid interstate

procedures, and (2) the amount of such costs shall not include the

portion of the project between High Street and Causeway Street."

Section 127(b) of Pub. L. 97-424 provided that: "Notwithstanding

the provisions of section 108(b) of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of

1956, as amended [set out above], the Secretary of Transportation

may approve the expenditure of funds authorized under such section

for the construction of a previously approved project which

provides for improvements to and reconstruction of ramps and

service roads which are being developed as part of a roadway system

to relieve a severely congested segment on an Interstate route.

Such expenditures shall be limited (1) to work necessary to provide

more effective and safe operation of such Interstate route, and (2)

to a section of an Interstate route which proceeded to construction

contract prior to the date of enactment of such Act and which

Interstate route, together with service roads, was constructed

without the expenditure of any funds authorized by such section."

follows: "Upon the joint request of a State Governor and the local

governments concerned, the Secretary may withdraw his approval of

any route or portion thereof on the Interstate System within any

urbanized area in that State selected and approved in accordance

with this title prior to the enactment of this paragraph, if he

determines that such route or portion thereof is not essential to

completion of a unified and connected Interstate System or will no

longer be essential by reason of the application of this paragraph

and will not be constructed as a part of the Interstate System, and

if he receives assurances that the State does not intend to

construct a toll road in the traffic corridor which would be served

by such route or portion thereof. The mileage of the route or

portion thereof approval of which is withdrawn under this paragraph

shall be available for designation on the Interstate System in any

other State in accordance with paragraph (1) of this subsection.

After the Secretary has withdrawn his approval of any such route or

portion thereof, whenever responsible local officials of such

urbanized area notify the State highway department that, in lieu of

a route or portion thereof approval for which is withdrawn under

this paragraph, their needs require a nonhighway public mass

transit project involving the construction of fixed rail

facilities, or the purchase of passenger equipment, including

rolling stock for any mode of mass transit, or both, and the State

highway department determines that such public mass transit project

is in accordance with the planning process under section 134 of

this title and is entitled to priority under such planning process,

such public mass transit project shall be submitted for approval to

the Secretary. Approval of the plans, specifications, and estimates

for such project by the Secretary shall be deemed a contractual

obligation of the United States for payment out of the general

funds in the Treasury of its proportional share of the cost of such

project in an amount equal to the Federal share which would be paid

for such a project under the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964

[section 1601 et seq. of Title 49, Transportation], except that the

total Federal cost of all such projects under this paragraph with

respect to such route or portion thereof approval of which is

withdrawn under this paragraph, shall not exceed the Federal share

of the cost which would have been paid for such route or portion

thereof, as such cost is included in the 1972 Interstate System

cost estimate set forth in table 5 of House Public Works Committee

Print Numbered 92-29, as revised in House Report Numbered 92-1443,

increased or decreased, as the case may be, as determined by the

Secretary, based on changes in construction costs of such route or

portion thereof as of the date of withdrawal of approval under this

paragraph and in accordance with that design of such route or

portion thereof which is the basis of such 1972 cost estimate.

Funds apportioned to such State for the Interstate System, which

apportionment is based upon an Interstate System cost estimate that

includes a route or portion thereof approval of which is withdrawn

under this paragraph, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the

Federal share of such project as such share becomes a contractual

obligation of the United States. No general funds shall be

department and is approved by the Secretary as being in the public

interest. The Secretary may approve the transfer of 100 per centum

of the apportionment under one such section to the apportionment

under any other of such sections if such transfer is requested by

the State transportation department, and is approved by the

Secretary as being in the public interest, if he has received

satisfactory assurances from such State transportation department

that the purposes of the program from which such funds are to be

transferred have been met. A State may transfer not to exceed 50

percent of the State's apportionment under section 144 in any

fiscal year to the apportionment of such State under subsection

(b)(1) or subsection (b)(3) of this section. Any transfer to

that fiscal year giving priority to those States having large

unobligated balances of funds apportioned under sections 104 and

144 of title 23, United States Code, under section 160 of title 23,

United States Code (as in effect on the day before the date of

enactment of this Act [June 9, 1998]), and under section 1015 of

(c) Treatment of Funds. -

(1) Programmatic distribution. - The Secretary shall apportion

the amounts made available under this section that exceed

$2,800,000,000 so that the amount apportioned to each State under

this paragraph for each program referred to in subsection (a)

(other than metropolitan planning, minimum guarantee, high

priority projects, Appalachian development highway system, and

recreational trails programs) is equal to the amount determined

by multiplying the amount to be apportioned under this paragraph

by the ratio that -

(A) the amount of funds apportioned to each State for each

program referred to in subsection (a) (other than metropolitan

planning, minimum guarantee, high priority projects,

Appalachian development highway system, and recreational trails

programs) for a fiscal year; bears to

(B) the total amount of funds apportioned to each State for

such program for such fiscal year.

(2) Remaining distribution. - The Secretary shall administer

the remainder of funds made available under this section to the

States in accordance with section 104(b)(3); except that

requirements of paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of section 133(d)

shall not apply to amounts administered pursuant to this

paragraph.

(d) Authorization. - There are authorized to be appropriated out

of the Highway Trust Fund (other than the Mass Transit Account)

such sums as may be necessary to carry out this section for each of

fiscal years 1998 through 2003.

(e) Special Rule. - If in any of fiscal years 1999 through 2003,

the amount authorized under subsection (d) is more than 30 percent

higher than the amount authorized under subsection (d) in fiscal

year 1998, the Secretary shall use the apportionment factors under

sections 104 and 144 as in effect on the date of enactment of this

section.

(f) Guarantee of 90.5 Return. -

(1) In general. - Before making any apportionment under this

title for each of fiscal years 1999 through 2003, the Secretary,

subject to paragraph (2), shall adjust the percentages in the

table in subsection (b) to reflect the estimated percentage of

estimated tax payments attributable to highway users in each

State paid into the Highway Trust Fund (other than the Mass

Transit Account) in the latest fiscal year for which data is

available, to ensure that no State's percentage return from such

Trust Fund is less than 90.5 percent.

(2) Eligibility threshold for initial adjustment. - The

Secretary may make an adjustment under paragraph (1) for a State

for a fiscal year only if the State's percentage return from the

Highway Trust Fund (other than the Mass Transit Account) in the

table in subsection (b) was equal to 90.5 percent.

(3) Conforming adjustments. - After making any adjustments

under paragraph (1) for a fiscal year, the Secretary shall

proportionately adjust the remaining percentages in the table in

subsection (b) to ensure that the total of the percentages in the

table is equal to 100 percent for such fiscal year.

(4) Limitation on adjustments. - After making any adjustments

under paragraph (3) for a fiscal year, the Secretary shall

determine whether or not any State's percentage return from the

Highway Trust Fund (other than the Mass Transit Account) is less

than 90.5 percent as a result of such adjustments and shall

adjust the percentages in the table for such fiscal year

accordingly. Adjustments of the percentages in the table under

this paragraph may not result in the total of such percentages

exceeding 100 percent.

Sec. 107. Acquisition of rights-of-way - Interstate System

-STATUTE-

(a) In any case in which the Secretary is requested by a State to

acquire lands or interests in lands (including within the term

"interests in lands", the control of access thereto from adjoining

lands) required by such State for right-of-way or other purposes in

connection with the prosecution of any project for the

construction, reconstruction, or improvement of any section of the

Interstate System, the Secretary is authorized, in the name of the

United States and prior to the approval of title by the Attorney

General, to acquire, enter upon, and take possession of such lands

or interests in lands by purchase, donation, condemnation, or

otherwise in accordance with the laws of the United States

(including the Act of February 26, 1931, 46 Stat. 1421),(!1) if -

(1) the Secretary has determined either that the State is

unable to acquire necessary lands or interests in lands, or is

unable to acquire such lands or interests in lands with

sufficient promptness; and

(2) the State has agreed with the Secretary to pay, at such

time as may be specified by the Secretary an amount equal to 10

per centum of the costs incurred by the Secretary, in acquiring

such lands or interests in lands, or such lesser percentage which

represents the State's pro rata share of project costs as

determined in accordance with subsection (c) (!1) of section 120

of this title.

The authority granted by this section shall also apply to lands

and interests in lands received as grants of land from the United

States and owned or held by railroads or other corporations.

(b) The costs incurred by the Secretary in acquiring any such

lands or interests in lands may include the cost of examination and

abstract of title, certificate of title, advertising, and any fees

incidental to such acquisition. All costs incurred by the Secretary

in connection with the acquisition of any such lands or interests

in lands shall be paid from the funds for construction,

reconstruction, or improvement of the Interstate System apportioned

to the State upon the request of which such lands or interests in

lands are acquired, and any sums paid to the Secretary by such

State as its share of the costs of acquisition of such lands or

interests in lands shall be deposited in the Treasury to the credit

of the appropriation for Federal-aid highways and shall be credited

to the amount apportioned to such State as its apportionment of

funds for construction, reconstruction, or improvement of the

Interstate System, or shall be deducted from other moneys due the

State for reimbursement from funds authorized to be appropriated

under section 108(b) of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956.

(c) The Secretary is further authorized and directed by proper

deed, executed in the name of the United States, to convey any such

lands or interests in lands acquired in any State under the

provisions of this section, except the outside five feet of any

such right-of-way in any State which does not provide control of

access, to the State transportation department of such State or

such political subdivision thereof as its laws may provide, upon

such terms and conditions as to such lands or interests in lands as

may be agreed upon by the Secretary and the State transportation

department or political subdivisions to which the conveyance is to

be made. Whenever the State makes provision for control of access

satisfactory to the Secretary, the outside five feet then shall be

conveyed to the State by the Secretary, as herein provided.

(d) Whenever rights-of-way, including control of access, on the

Interstate System are required over lands or interests in lands

owned by the United States, the Secretary may make such

arrangements with the agency having jurisdiction over such lands as

may be necessary to give the State or other person constructing the

projects on such lands adequate rights-of-way and control of access

thereto from adjoining lands, and any such agency is directed to

cooperate with the Secretary in this connection.

provide for a facility that will -

(1) adequately serve the existing and planned future traffic of

the highway in a manner that is conducive to safety, durability,

and economy of maintenance; and

(2) be designed and constructed in accordance with criteria

best suited to accomplish the objectives described in paragraph

(1) and to conform to the particular needs of each locality.

(b) The geometric and construction standards to be adopted for

the Interstate System shall be those approved by the Secretary in

cooperation with the State transportation departments. Such

standards, as applied to each actual construction project, shall be

adequate to enable such project to accommodate the types and

volumes of traffic anticipated for such project for the twenty-year

period commencing on the date of approval by the Secretary, under

section 106 of this title, of the plans, specifications, and

estimates for actual construction of such project. Such standards

shall in all cases provide for at least four lanes of traffic. The

right-of-way width of the Interstate System shall be adequate to

permit construction of projects on the Interstate System to such

standards. The Secretary shall apply such standards uniformly

throughout all the States.

(c) Design Criteria for National Highway System. -

(1) In general. - A design for new construction,

reconstruction, resurfacing (except for maintenance resurfacing),

restoration, or rehabilitation of a highway on the National

Highway System (other than a highway also on the Interstate

System) may take into account, in addition to the criteria

described in subsection (a) -

(A) the constructed and natural environment of the area;

(B) the environmental, scenic, aesthetic, historic,

community, and preservation impacts of the activity; and

(C) access for other modes of transportation.

(2) Development of criteria. - The Secretary, in cooperation

with State transportation departments, may develop criteria to

implement paragraph (1). In developing criteria under this

paragraph, the Secretary shall consider the results of the

committee process of the American Association of State Highway

and Transportation Officials as used in adopting and publishing

"A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets", including

comments submitted by interested parties as part of such process.

(d) On any highway project in which Federal funds hereafter

participate, or on any such project constructed since December 20,

1944, the location, form and character of informational, regulatory

and warning signs, curb and pavement or other markings, and traffic

signals installed or placed by any public authority or other

agency, shall be subject to the approval of the State

transportation department with the concurrence of the Secretary,

who is directed to concur only in such installations as will

promote the safe and efficient utilization of the highways.

(e) No funds shall be approved for expenditure on any Federal-aid

highway, or highway affected under chapter 2 of this title, unless

proper safety protective devices complying with safety standards

determined by the Secretary at that time as being adequate shall be

installed or be in operation at any highway and railroad grade

crossing or drawbridge on that portion of the highway with respect

to which such expenditures are to be made.

(f) The Secretary shall not, as a condition precedent to his

approval under section 106 of this title, require any State to

acquire title to, or control of, any marginal land along the

proposed highway in addition to that reasonably necessary for road

surfaces, median strips, bikeways, gutters, ditches, and side

slopes, and of sufficient width to provide service roads for

adjacent property to permit safe access at controlled locations in

order to expedite traffic, promote safety, and minimize roadside

parking.

(g) The Secretary shall issue within 30 days after the day of

enactment of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1970 guidelines for

minimizing possible soil erosion from highway construction. Such

guidelines shall apply to all proposed projects with respect to

which plans, specifications, and estimates are approved by the

Secretary after the issuance of such guidelines.

(h) Not later than July 1, 1972, the Secretary, after

consultation with appropriate Federal and State officials, shall

submit to Congress, and not later than 90 days after such

submission, promulgate guidelines designed to assure that possible

adverse economic, social, and environmental effects relating to any

proposed project on any Federal-aid system have been fully

considered in developing such project, and that the final decisions

on the project are made in the best overall public interest, taking

into consideration the need for fast, safe and efficient

transportation, public services, and the costs of eliminating or

minimizing such adverse effects and the following:

(1) air, noise, and water pollution;

(2) destruction or disruption of man-made and natural

resources, aesthetic values, community cohesion and the

availability of public facilities and services;

(3) adverse employment effects, and tax and property value

losses;

(4) injurious displacement of people, businesses and farms; and

(5) disruption of desirable community and regional growth.

Such guidelines shall apply to all proposed projects with respect

to which plans, specifications, and estimates are approved by the

Secretary after the issuance of such guidelines.

(i) The Secretary, after consultation with appropriate Federal,

State, and local officials, shall develop and promulgate standards

for highway noise levels compatible with different land uses and

after July 1, 1972, shall not approve plans and specifications for

any proposed project on any Federal-aid system for which location

approval has not yet been secured unless he determines that such

plans and specifications include adequate measures to implement the

appropriate noise level standards. The Secretary, after

consultation with the Administrator of the Environmental Protection

Agency and appropriate Federal, State, and local officials, may

promulgate standards for the control of highway noise levels for

highways on any Federal-aid system for which project approval has

been secured prior to July 1, 1972. The Secretary may approve any

project on a Federal-aid system to which noise-level standards are

made applicable under the preceding sentence for the purpose of

carrying out such standards. Such project may include, but is not

limited to, the acquisition of additional rights-of-way, the

construction of physical barriers, and landscaping. Sums

apportioned for the Federal-aid system on which such project will

be located shall be available to finance the Federal share of such

project. Such project shall be deemed a highway project for all

purposes of this title.

(j) The Secretary, after consultation with the Administrator of

the Environmental Protection Agency, shall develop and promulgate

guidelines to assure that highways constructed pursuant to this

title are consistent with any approved plan for -

(1) the implementation of a national ambient air quality

standard for each pollutant for which an area is designated as a

nonattainment area under section 107(d) of the Clean Air Act (42

U.S.C. 7407(d)); or

(2) the maintenance of a national ambient air quality standard

in an area that was designated as a nonattainment area but that

was later redesignated by the Administrator as an attainment area

for the standard and that is required to develop a maintenance

plan under section 175A of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7505a).

(k) The Secretary shall not approve any project involving

approaches to a bridge under this title, if such project and bridge

will significantly affect the traffic volume and the highway system

of a contiguous State without first taking into full consideration

the views of that State.

(l)(1) In determining whether any right-of-way on any Federal-aid

highway should be used for accommodating any utility facility, the

Secretary shall -

(A) first ascertain the effect such use will have on highway

and traffic safety, since in no case shall any use be authorized

or otherwise permitted, under this or any other provision of law,

which would adversely affect safety;

(B) evaluate the direct and indirect environmental and economic

effects of any loss of productive agricultural land or any

impairment of the productivity of any agricultural land which

would result from the disapproval of the use of such right-of-way

for the accommodation of such utility facility; and

(C) consider such environmental and economic effects together

with any interference with or impairment of the use of the

highway in such right-of-way which would result from the use of

such right-of-way for the accommodation of such utility facility.

(2) For the purpose of this subsection -

(A) the term "utility facility" means any privately, publicly,

or cooperatively owned line, facility, or system for producing,

transmitting, or distributing communications, power, electricity,

light, heat, gas, oil, crude products, water, steam, waste, storm

water not connected with highway drainage, or any other similar

commodity, including any fire or police signal system or street

lighting system, which directly or indirectly serves the public;

and

(B) the term "right-of-way" means any real property, or

interest therein, acquired, dedicated, or reserved for the

construction, operation, and maintenance of a highway.

(m) Protection of Nonmotorized Transportation Traffic. - The

Secretary shall not approve any project or take any regulatory

action under this title that will result in the severance of an

existing major route or have significant adverse impact on the

safety for nonmotorized transportation traffic and light

motorcycles, unless such project or regulatory action provides for

a reasonable alternate route or such a route exists.

(n) It is the intent of Congress that any project for

resurfacing, restoring, or rehabilitating any highway, other than a

highway access to which is fully controlled, in which Federal funds

participate shall be constructed in accordance with standards to

preserve and extend the service life of highways and enhance

highway safety.

(o) Compliance With State Laws for Non-NHS Projects. - Projects

(other than highway projects on the National Highway System) shall

be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained in accordance

with State laws, regulations, directives, safety standards, design

standards, and construction standards.

(p) Scenic and Historic Values. - Notwithstanding subsections (b)

and (c), the Secretary may approve a project for the National

Highway System if the project is designed to -

(1) allow for the preservation of environmental, scenic, or

historic values;

(2) ensure safe use of the facility; and

(3) comply with subsection (a).

(q) Phase Construction. - Safety considerations for a project

under this title may be met by phase construction consistent with

the operative safety management system established in accordance

with section 303 or in accordance with a statewide transportation

improvement program approved by the Secretary.

1998, 112 Stat. 843, provided that:

"(a) Coordinated Environmental Review Process. -

"(1) Development and implementation. - The Secretary shall

develop and implement a coordinated environmental review process

for highway construction and mass transit projects that require -

"(A) the preparation of an environmental impact statement or

environmental assessment under the National Environmental

Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), except that the

Secretary may decide not to apply this section to the

preparation of an environmental assessment under such Act; or

"(B) the conduct of any other environmental review, analysis,

opinion, or issuance of an environmental permit, license, or

approval by operation of Federal law.

"(2) Memorandum of understanding. -

"(A) In general. - The coordinated environmental review

process for each project shall ensure that, whenever

practicable (as specified in this section), all environmental

reviews, analyses, opinions, and any permits, licenses, or

approvals that must be issued or made by any Federal agency for

the project concerned shall be conducted concurrently and

completed within a cooperatively determined time period. Such

process for a project or class of project may be incorporated

into a memorandum of understanding between the Department of

Transportation and Federal agencies (and, where appropriate,

State agencies).

"(B) Establishment of time periods. - In establishing the

time period referred to in subparagraph (A), and any time

periods for review within such period, the Department and all

such agencies shall take into account their respective

resources and statutory commitments.

"(b) Elements of Coordinated Environmental Review Process. - For

each project, the coordinated environmental review process

established under this section shall provide, at a minimum, for the

following elements:

"(1) Federal agency identification. - The Secretary shall, at

the earliest possible time, identify all potential Federal

agencies that -

"(A) have jurisdiction by law over environmental-related

issues that may be affected by the project and the analysis of

which would be part of any environmental document required by

the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321

et seq.); or

"(B) may be required by Federal law to independently -

"(i) conduct an environmental-related review or analysis;

or

"(ii) determine whether to issue a permit, license, or

approval or render an opinion on the environmental impact of

the project.

"(2) Time limitations and concurrent review. - The Secretary

and the head of each Federal agency identified under paragraph

(1) -

"(A)(i) shall jointly develop and establish time periods for

review for -

"(I) all Federal agency comments with respect to any

environmental review documents required by the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) for

the project; and

"(II) all other independent Federal agency environmental

analyses, reviews, opinions, and decisions on any permits,

licenses, and approvals that must be issued or made for the

project;

whereby each such Federal agency's review shall be undertaken and

completed within such established time periods for review; or

"(ii) may enter into an agreement to establish such time

periods for review with respect to a class of project; and

"(B) shall ensure, in establishing such time periods for

review, that the conduct of any such analysis, review, opinion,

and decision is undertaken concurrently with all other

environmental reviews for the project, including the reviews

required by the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.); except that such review may not be

concurrent if the affected Federal agency can demonstrate that

such concurrent review would result in a significant adverse

impact to the environment or substantively alter the operation

of Federal law or would not be possible without information

developed as part of the environmental review process.

"(3) Factors to be considered. - Time periods for review

established under this section shall be consistent with the time

periods established by the Council on Environmental Quality under

sections 1501.8 and 1506.10 of title 40, Code of Federal

Regulations.

"(4) Extensions. - The Secretary shall extend any time periods

for review under this section if, upon good cause shown, the

Secretary and any Federal agency concerned determine that

additional time for analysis and review is needed as a result of

new information that has been discovered that could not

reasonably have been anticipated when the Federal agency's time

periods for review were established. Any memorandum of

understanding shall be modified to incorporate any mutually

agreed-upon extensions.

"(c) Dispute Resolution. - When the Secretary determines that a

Federal agency which is subject to a time period for its

environmental review or analysis under this section has failed to

complete such review, analysis, opinion, or decision on issuing any

permit, license, or approval within the established time period or

within any agreed-upon extension to such time period, the Secretary

may, after notice and consultation with such agency, close the

record on the matter before the Secretary. If the Secretary finds,

after timely compliance with this section, that an environmental

issue related to the project that an affected Federal agency has

jurisdiction over by operation of Federal law has not been

resolved, the Secretary and the head of the Federal agency shall

resolve the matter not later than 30 days after the date of the

finding by the Secretary.

"(d) Participation of State Agencies. - For any project eligible

for assistance under chapter 1 of title 23, United States Code, or

chapter 53 of title 49, United States Code, a State, by operation

of State law, may require that all State agencies that have

jurisdiction by State or Federal law over environmental-related

issues that may be affected by the project, or that are required to

issue any environmental-related reviews, analyses, opinions, or

determinations on issuing any permits, licenses, or approvals for

the project, be subject to the coordinated environmental review

process established under this section unless the Secretary

determines that a State's participation would not be in the public

interest. For a State to require State agencies to participate in

the review process, all affected agencies of the State shall be

subject to the review process.

"(e) Assistance to Affected Federal Agencies. -

"(1) In general. - The Secretary may approve a request by a

State or recipient to provide funds for a highway project made

available under chapter 1 of title 23, United States Code, or for

a mass transit project made available under chapter 53 of title

49, United States Code, to the State for the project subject to

the coordinated environmental review process established under

this section to affected Federal agencies to provide the

resources necessary to meet any time limits established under

this section.

"(2) Amounts. - Such requests under paragraph (1) shall be

approved only -

"(A) for the additional amounts that the Secretary determines

are necessary for the affected Federal agencies to meet the

time limits for environmental review; and

"(B) if such time limits are less than the customary time

necessary for such review.

"(f) Judicial Review and Savings Clause. -

"(1) Judicial review. - Nothing in this section shall affect

the reviewability of any final Federal agency action in a

district court of the United States or in the court of any State.

"(2) Savings clause. - Nothing in this section shall affect the

applicability of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969

(42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) or any other Federal environmental

statute or affect the responsibility of any Federal officer to

comply with or enforce any such statute.

"(g) Federal Agency Defined. - In this section, the term 'Federal

agency' means any Federal agency or any State agency carrying out

affected responsibilities required by operation of Federal law."

other method is approved by the Secretary. The Secretary shall

require such plans and specifications and such methods of bidding

as shall be effective in securing competition.

(b) Bidding Requirements. -

(1) In general. - Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3),

construction of each project, subject to the provisions of

subsection (a) of this section, shall be performed by contract

awarded by competitive bidding, unless the State transportation

department demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the Secretary,

that some other method is more cost effective or that an

emergency exists. Contracts for the construction of each project

shall be awarded only on the basis of the lowest responsive bid

submitted by a bidder meeting established criteria of

responsibility. No requirement or obligation shall be imposed as

a condition precedent to the award of a contract to such bidder

(D) Indirect cost rates. - Instead of performing its own

audits, a recipient of funds under a contract or subcontract

awarded in accordance with subparagraph (A) shall accept

indirect cost rates established in accordance with the Federal

Acquisition Regulations for 1-year applicable accounting

periods by a cognizant Federal or State government agency, if

such rates are not currently under dispute.

(E) Application of rates. - Once a firm's indirect cost rates

are accepted under this paragraph, the recipient of the funds

shall apply such rates for the purposes of contract estimation,

negotiation, administration, reporting, and contract payment

and shall not be limited by administrative or de facto ceilings

of any kind.

(F) Prenotification; confidentiality of data. - A recipient

of funds requesting or using the cost and rate data described

in subparagraph (E) shall notify any affected firm before such

request or use. Such data shall be confidential and shall not

be accessible or provided, in whole or in part, to another firm

or to any government agency which is not part of the group of

agencies sharing cost data under this paragraph, except by

written permission of the audited firm. If prohibited by law,

such cost and rate data shall not be disclosed under any

circumstances.

(G) State option. - Subparagraphs (C), (D), (E), and (F)

to be awarded, certifying that such person, firm, association, or

corporation has not, either directly or indirectly, entered into

any agreement, participated in any collusion, or otherwise taken

any action in restraint of free competitive bidding in connection

with such contract.

provisions of prior Acts. The State's obligation to the United

States to maintain any such project shall cease when it no longer

constructed under the provisions of this chapter, or constructed

under the provisions of prior Acts, is not being properly

maintained, he shall call such fact to the attention of the State

transportation department. If, within ninety days after receipt of

such notice, such project has not been put in proper condition of

maintenance, the Secretary shall withhold approval of further

projects of all types in the State highway district, municipality,

truck-volume route in a rural area.

(4) Period of availability of discretionary funds. - Sums made

available pursuant to this subsection shall remain available

Section 1009(c) of Pub. L. 102-240 provided that: "The Secretary

shall develop and make available to the States criteria for

determining -

"(1) what share of any project funded under section 119 of

title 23, United States Code, is attributable to the expansion of

the capacity of an Interstate highway or bridge; and

"(2) what constitutes adequate maintenance of the Interstate

System for the purposes of section 119(f)(1) of title 23, United

States Code."

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

Section 142 of Pub. L. 97-424 provided that:

"(a) The Congress hereby finds and declares that it is in the

national interest to encourage and promote utilization by the

States of highway and bridge surfacing, resurfacing, or restoration

materials which are produced from recycled materials or which

contain asphalt additives to strengthen the materials. Such

materials conserve energy and reduce the cost of resurfacing or

restoring our highways.

"(b) The Secretary of Transportation is hereby authorized for

each of the fiscal years through September 30, 1985, to increase

the Federal share as provided in sections 119, 120, and 144 of

title 23, United States Code, by 5 per centum of any project

submitted by the State highway departments which contains in the

plans, specifications, and estimates submitted pursuant to section

106, of title 23, United States Code, the use of the materials

described in subsection (a). To be eligible for such supplemental

Federal assistance, significant amounts of asphalt additives or

recycled materials must be used in each project approved by the

Secretary.

"(c) The Secretary shall establish a procedure within ninety days

of the date of enactment of this Act [Jan. 6, 1983] for increasing

the Federal share under this section."

SUBCHAPTER I - GENERAL PROVISIONS

-HEAD-

Sec. 120. Federal share payable

-STATUTE-

(a) Interstate System Projects. -

(1) In general. - Except as otherwise provided in this chapter,

the Federal share payable on account of any project on the

Interstate System (including a project to add high occupancy

vehicle lanes and a project to add auxiliary lanes but excluding

a project to add any other lanes) shall be 90 percent of the

total cost thereof, plus a percentage of the remaining 10 percent

of such cost in any State containing unappropriated and

unreserved public lands and nontaxable Indian lands, individual

and tribal, exceeding 5 percent of the total area of all lands

therein, equal to the percentage that the area of such lands in

such State is of its total area; except that such Federal share

payable on any project in any State shall not exceed 95 percent

of the total cost of such project.

(2) State-determined lower federal share. - In the case of any

project subject to paragraph (1), a State may determine a lower

Federal share than the Federal share determined under such

paragraph.

(b) Other Projects. - Except as otherwise provided in this title,

the Federal share payable on account of any project or activity

carried out under this title (other than a project subject to

subsection (a)) shall be -

(1) 80 percent of the cost thereof, except that in the case of

any State containing nontaxable Indian lands, individual and

tribal, and public domain lands (both reserved and unreserved)

exclusive of national forests and national parks and monuments,

exceeding 5 percent of the total area of all lands therein, the

Federal share, for purposes of this chapter, shall be increased

by a percentage of the remaining cost equal to the percentage

that the area of all such lands in such State, is of its total

area; or

(2) 80 percent of the cost thereof, except that in the case of

any State containing nontaxable Indian lands, individual and

tribal, public domain lands (both reserved and unreserved),

national forests, and national parks and monuments, the Federal

share, for purposes of this chapter, shall be increased by a

percentage of the remaining cost equal to the percentage that the

area of all such lands in such State is of its total area;

except that the Federal share payable on any project in a State

shall not exceed 95 percent of the total cost of any such project.

In any case where a State elects to have the Federal share provided

in paragraph (2) of this subsection, the State must enter into an

agreement with the Secretary covering a period of not less than 1

year, requiring such State to use solely for purposes eligible for

assistance under this title (other than paying its share of

projects approved under this title) during the period covered by

such agreement the difference between the State's share as provided

in paragraph (2) and what its share would be if it elected to pay

the share provided in paragraph (1) for all projects subject to

such agreement. In the case of any project subject to this

subsection, a State may determine a lower Federal share than the

Federal share determined under the preceding sentences of this

subsection.

(c) Increased Federal Share for Certain Safety Projects. - The

Federal share payable on account of any project for traffic control

signalization, safety rest areas, pavement marking, commuter

carpooling and vanpooling, rail-highway crossing closure, or

installation of traffic signs, traffic lights, guardrails, impact

attenuators, concrete barrier endtreatments, breakaway utility

poles, or priority control systems for emergency vehicles or

transit vehicles at signalized intersections may amount to 100

percent of the cost of construction of such projects; except that

not more than 10 percent of all sums apportioned for all the

Federal-aid systems for any fiscal year in accordance with section

104 of this title shall be used under this subsection. In this

subsection, the term "safety rest area" means an area where motor

vehicle operators can park their vehicles and rest, where food,

fuel, and lodging services are not available, and that is located

on a segment of highway with respect to which the Secretary

determines there is a shortage of public and private areas at which

motor vehicle operators can park their vehicles and rest.

(d) The Secretary may rely on a statement from the Secretary of

the Interior as to the area of the lands referred to in subsections

(a) and (b) of this section. The Secretary of the Interior is

authorized and directed to provide such statement annually.

(e) Emergency Relief. - The Federal share payable on account of

any repair or reconstruction provided for by funds made available

under section 125 of this title on account of any project on a

Federal-aid highway, including the Interstate System, shall not

exceed the Federal share payable on a project on such system (!1)

as provided in subsections (a) and (b) of this section; except that

(1) the Federal share payable for eligible emergency repairs to

minimize damage, protect facilities, or restore essential traffic

accomplished within 180 days after the actual occurrence of the

natural disaster or catastrophic failure may amount to 100 percent

of the costs thereof; and (2) the Federal share payable on account

of any repair or reconstruction of forest highways, forest

development roads and trails, park roads and trails, parkways,

public lands highways, public lands development roads and trails,

and Indian reservation roads may amount to 100 percent of the cost

thereof. The total cost of a project may not exceed the cost of

repair or reconstruction of a comparable facility. As used in this

section with respect to bridges and in section 144 of this title,

"a comparable facility" shall mean a facility which meets the

current geometric and construction standards required for the types

and volume of traffic which such facility will carry over its

design life.

(f) The Secretary is authorized to cooperate with the State

transportation departments and with the Department of the Interior

in the construction of Federal-aid highways within Indian

reservations and national parks and monuments under the

jurisdiction of the Department of the Interior and to pay the

amount assumed therefor from the funds apportioned in accordance

with section 104 of this title to the State wherein the

reservations and national parks and monuments are located.

(g) At the request of any State, the Secretary may from time to

time enter into agreements with such State to reimburse the State

for the Federal share of the costs of preliminary and construction

engineering at an agreed percentage of actual construction costs

for each project, in lieu of the actual engineering costs for such

project. The Secretary shall annually review each such agreement to

insure that such percentage reasonably represents the engineering

costs actually incurred by such State.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section or of

this title, the Federal share payable on account of any project

under this title in the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, or

the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands shall be 100 per

centum of the total cost of the project.

(i) Increased Non-Federal Share. - Notwithstanding any other

provision of this title and subject to such criteria as the

Secretary may establish, a State may contribute an amount in excess

of the non-Federal share of a project under this title so as to

decrease the Federal share payable on such project.

(j) Credit for Non-Federal Share. -

(1) Eligibility. - A State may use as a credit toward the

non-Federal share requirement for any funds made available to

carry out this title (other than the emergency relief program

authorized by section 125) or chapter 53 of title 49 toll

revenues that are generated and used by public, quasi-public, and

private agencies to build, improve, or maintain highways,

bridges, or tunnels that serve the public purpose of interstate

commerce. Such public, quasi-public, or private agencies shall

have built, improved, or maintained such facilities without

Federal funds.

(2) Maintenance of effort. -

(A) In general. - The credit for any non-Federal share

provided under this subsection shall not reduce nor replace

State funds required to match Federal funds for any program

under this title.

(B) Condition on receipt of credit. - To receive a credit

under paragraph (1) for a fiscal year, a State shall enter into

such agreement as the Secretary may require to ensure that the

State will maintain its non-Federal transportation capital

expenditures in such fiscal year at or above the average level

of such expenditures for the preceding 3 fiscal years; except

that if, for any 1 of the preceding 3 fiscal years, the

non-Federal transportation capital expenditures of the State

were at a level that was greater than 130 percent of the

average level of such expenditures for the other 2 of the

preceding 3 fiscal years, the agreement shall ensure that the

State will maintain its non-Federal transportation capital

expenditures in the fiscal year of the credit at or above the

average level of such expenditures for the other 2 fiscal

years.

(C) Transportation capital expenditures defined. - In

subparagraph (B), the term "non-Federal transportation capital

expenditures" includes any payments made by the State for

issuance of transportation-related bonds.

(3) Treatment. -

(A) Limitation on liability. - Use of a credit for a

non-Federal share under this subsection that is received from a

public, quasi-public, or private agency -

(i) shall not expose the agency to additional liability,

additional regulation, or additional administrative

oversight; and

(ii) shall not subject the agency to any additional Federal

design standards or laws (including regulations) as a result

of providing the non-Federal share other than those to which

the agency is already subject.

(B) Chartered multistate agencies. - When a credit that is

received from a chartered multistate agency is applied to a

non-Federal share under this subsection, such credit shall be

applied equally to all charter States.

(k) Use of Federal Land Management Agency Funds. -

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the funds appropriated

to any Federal land management agency may be used to pay the

non-Federal share of the cost of any Federal-aid highway project

the Federal share of which is funded under section 104.

(l) Use of Federal Lands Highways Program Funds. -

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the funds authorized to

be appropriated to carry out the Federal lands highways program

under section 204 may be used to pay the non-Federal share of the

cost of any project that is funded under section 104 and that

provides access to or within Federal or Indian lands.
