TITLE 23 - HIGHWAYS

CHAPTER 2 - OTHER HIGHWAYS

-HEAD-

Sec. 210. Defense access roads

-STATUTE-

(a) The Secretary is authorized, out of the funds appropriated

for defense access roads, to provide for the construction and

maintenance of defense access roads (including bridges, tubes, and

tunnels thereon) to military reservations, to defense industries

and defense industry sites, and to the sources of raw materials

when such roads are certified to the Secretary as important to the

national defense by the Secretary of Defense or such other official

as the President may designate, and for replacing existing highways

and highway connections that are shut off from the general public

use by necessary closures or restrictions at military reservations

and defense industry sites.

(b) Funds appropriated for the purposes of this section shall be

available, without regard to apportionment among the several

States, for paying all or any part of the cost of the construction

and maintenance of defense access roads.

(c) Funds appropriated for defense maneuvers and exercises, may

be used by the Secretary in areas certified to him by the Secretary

of Defense as maneuver areas for such construction, maintenance,

and repair work as may be necessary to keep the highways therein,

which have been or may be used for training of the Armed Forces, in

suitable condition for such training purposes and for repairing the

damage caused to such highways by the operations of men and

equipment in such training.

(d) Whenever any project for the construction of a

circumferential highway around a city or of a radial intracity

route thereto submitted by any State is certified by the Secretary

of Defense, or such other official as the President may designate,

as being important for civilian or military defense, such project

may be constructed out of the funds heretofore or hereafter

authorized to be appropriated for defense access roads.

(e) If the Secretary shall determine that the State

transportation department of any State is unable to obtain

possession and the right to enter upon and use the required

rights-of-way, lands, or interest in lands, improved or unimproved,

required for any project authorized by this section with sufficient

promptness, the Secretary is authorized to acquire, enter upon,

take possession thereof, and expend funds for projects thereon,

prior to approval of title by the Attorney General, in the name of

the United States, such rights-of-way, lands, or interest in lands

as may be required in such State for such projects 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) The cost incurred by the Secretary in acquiring any such

rights-of-way, lands, or interest in lands may include the cost of

examination and abstract of title, certificate of title,

advertising, and any fees incidental to such acquisition; and shall

be payable out of the funds available for paying the cost or the

Federal share of the cost of the project for which such

rights-of-way, lands, or interests in lands are acquired. The

Secretary is further authorized and directed by proper deed

executed in the name of the United States to convey any lands or

interests in lands acquired in any State under the provisions of

prior Acts or of this section to the State transportation

department of such State or to such political subdivision thereof

as its laws may provide, upon such terms and conditions as may be

agreed upon by the Secretary and the State transportation

department, or political subdivisions to which the conveyance is to

be made.

(f) The provisions of section 112 of this title are applicable to

defense access roads.

(g) If the Secretary shall determine that it is necessary for the

expeditious completion of any defense access road project he may

advance to any State out of funds appropriated for defense access

roads transferred and available to the Department of Transportation

the Federal share of the cost of construction thereof to enable the

State transportation department to make prompt payments for

acquisition of rights-of-way, and for the construction as it

progresses. The sums so advanced shall be deposited in a special

fund by the State official authorized by State law to receive such

funds, to be disbursed solely upon vouchers approved by the State

transportation department for rights-of-way which have been or are

being acquired and for construction which has been actually

performed under this section. Upon determination by the Secretary

that funds advanced to any State under the provisions of this

subsection are no longer required, the amount of the advance which

is determined to be in excess of requirements for the project shall

be repaid upon his demand, and such repayments shall be returned to

the credit of the appropriation from which the funds were advanced.

(h) Funds appropriated for the purposes of this section shall be

available to pay the cost of repairing damage caused to highways by

the operation of vehicles and equipment in the construction of

classified military installations and facilities for ballistic

missiles if the Secretary shall determine that the State

transportation department of any State is, or has been, unable to

prevent such damage by restrictions upon the use of such highways

without interference with, or delay in, the completion of a

contract for the construction of such military reservations or

installations. This subsection shall apply notwithstanding any

provision of contract holding a party thereto responsible for such

damage, if the Secretary of Defense or his designee shall

determine, in fact, that construction estimates and the bid of such

party did not include allowance for repairing such damage. This

subsection shall apply to damage caused by construction work

commenced prior to June 1, 1961, and still in progress on that date

and construction work which is commenced or for which a contract is

awarded on or after June 1, 1961.

Sec. 212. Inter-American Highway

-STATUTE-

(a) Funds appropriated for the Inter-American Highway shall be

used to enable the United States to cooperate with the Governments

of the American Republics situated in Central America - that is,

with the Governments of the Republic of Costa Rica, El Salvador,

Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama - in the survey and

construction of the Inter-American Highway within the borders of

the aforesaid Republics, respectively. Not to exceed one-third of

the appropriation authorized for each fiscal year may be expended

without requiring the country or countries in which such funds may

be expended to match any part thereof, if the Secretary of State

shall find that the cost of constructing said highway in such

country or countries will be beyond their reasonable capacity to

bear. The remainder of such authorized appropriations shall be

available for expenditure only when matched to the extent required

by this section by the country in which such expenditure may be

made. Expenditures from the funds available on a matching basis

shall not be made for the survey and construction of any portion of

said highway within the borders of any country named herein unless

such country shall provide and make available for expenditure in

conjunction therewith a sum equal to at least one-third of the

expenditures that may be incurred by that Government and the United

States on such portion of the highway. All expenditures by the

United States under the provisions of this section for material,

equipment, and supplies shall, whenever practicable, be made for

products of the United States or of the country in which such

survey or construction work is being carried on. Construction work

to be performed under contract shall be advertised for a reasonable

period by the Minister of Public Works, or other similar official,

of the government concerned in each of the participating countries

and contracts shall be awarded pursuant to such advertisements with

the approval of the Secretary. No part of the appropriations

authorized shall be available for obligation or expenditure for

work on said highway in any cooperating country unless the

government of said country shall have assented to the provisions of

this section; shall have furnished satisfactory assurances that it

has an organization adequately qualified to administer the

functions required of such country under the provisions hereof; and

then only as such country may submit requests, from time to time,

for the construction of any portion of the highway to standards

adequate to meet present and future traffic needs. No part of said

appropriations shall be available for obligation or expenditure in

any such country until the government of that country shall have

entered into an agreement with the United States which shall

provide, in part, that said country -

(1) will provide, without participation of funds authorized,

all necessary rights-of-way for the construction of said highway,

which rights-of-way shall be of a minimum width where practicable

of one hundred meters in rural areas and fifty meters in

municipalities and shall forever be held inviolate as a part of

the highway for public use;

(2) will not impose any highway toll, or permit any such toll

to be charged, for use by vehicles or persons of any portion of

said highway constructed under the provisions of this section;

(3) will not levy or assess, directly or indirectly, any fee,

tax, or other charge for the use of said highway by vehicles or

persons from the United States that does not apply equally to

vehicles or persons of such country;

(4) will continue to grant reciprocal recognition of vehicle

registration and drivers' licenses in accordance with the

provisions of the Convention for the Regulation of Inter-American

Automotive Traffic, which was opened for signature at the Pan

American Union in Washington on December 15, 1943, and to which

such country and the United States are parties, or of any other

treaty or international convention establishing similar

reciprocal recognition; and

(5) will provide for the maintenance of said highway after its

completion in condition adequately to serve the needs of present

and future traffic.

(b) The survey and construction work authorized by this section

shall be under the administration of the Secretary, who shall

consult with the appropriate officials of the Department of State

with respect to matters involving the foreign relations of this

Government, and such negotiations with the Governments of the

American Republics named in subsection (a) of this section as may

be required to carry out the purposes of this section shall be

conducted through, or as authorized by, the Department of State.

(c) The provisions of this section shall not create nor authorize

the creation of any obligations on the part of the Government of

the United States with respect to any expenditures for highway

construction or survey heretofore or hereafter undertaken in any of

the countries enumerated in subsection (a) of this section, other

than the expenditures authorized by the provisions of this section.

(d) Appropriations made pursuant to any authorizations

heretofore, or hereafter enacted for the Inter-American Highway

shall be considered available for expenditure by the Secretary for

necessary administrative and engineering expenses in connection

with the Inter-American Highway program.

interisland connectors, and the establishment of advance

acquisition of right-of-way and relocation assistance programs.

(c) No part of the appropriations authorized under this section

shall be available for obligation or expenditure with respect to

any territory until the Governor enters into an agreement with the

Secretary providing that the government of such territory (1) will

design and construct a system of arterial and collector highways,

including necessary interisland connectors, built in accordance

with standards approved by the Secretary; (2) will not impose any

toll, or permit any such toll to be charged, for use by vehicles or

persons of any portion of the facilities constructed or operated

under the provisions of this section; (3) will provide for the

maintenance of such facilities in a condition to adequately serve

the needs of present and future traffic; (4) will implement

standards for traffic operations and uniform traffic control

devices which are approved by the Secretary.

(d)(1) Three per centum of the sums authorized to be appropriated

for each fiscal year for carrying out subsection (a) of this

section shall be available for expenditure only for engineering and

economic surveys and investigations, for the planning of future

highway programs and the financing thereof, for studies of the

economy, safety, and convenience of highway usage and the desirable

regulation and equitable taxation thereof, and for research and

development, necessary in connection with the planning, design, and

maintenance of the highway system, and the regulation and taxation

of their use.

(2) In addition to the percentage provided in paragraph (1) of

the subsection, not to exceed 2 per centum of sums authorized to be

the highway system.

(f) The provisions of chapter 1 of this title that are applicable

to Federal-aid primary highway funds, other than provisions
