CHAPTER 53 - MASS TRANSPORTATION

-HEAD-

Sec. 5323. General provisions on assistance

-STATUTE-

(a) Interests in Property. - (1) Financial assistance provided

under this chapter to a State or a local governmental authority may

be used to acquire an interest in, or buy property of, a private

mass transportation company, for a capital project for property

acquired from a private mass transportation company after July 9,

1964, or to operate mass transportation equipment or a mass

transportation facility in competition with, or in addition to,

transportation service provided by an existing mass transportation

company, only if -

(A) the Secretary of Transportation finds the assistance is

essential to a program of projects required under sections

5303-5306 of this title;

(B) the Secretary of Transportation finds that the program, to

the maximum extent feasible, provides for the participation of

private mass transportation companies;

(C) just compensation under State or local law will be paid to

the company for its franchise or property; and

(D) the Secretary of Labor certifies that the assistance

complies with section 5333(b) of this title.

(2) A governmental authority may not use financial assistance of

the United States Government to acquire land, equipment, or a

facility used in mass transportation from another governmental

authority in the same geographic area.

(b) Notice and Public Hearing. - (1) An application for a grant

or loan under this chapter for a capital project that will affect

substantially a community, or the mass transportation service of a

community, must include a certificate of the applicant that the

applicant has -

(A) provided an adequate opportunity for a public hearing with

adequate prior notice;

(B) held that hearing unless no one with a significant

economic, social, or environmental interest requested one;

(C) considered the economic, social, and environmental effects

of the project; and

(D) found that the project is consistent with official plans

for developing the urban area.

(2) Notice of a hearing under this subsection shall include a

concise description of the proposed project and shall be published

in a newspaper of general circulation in the geographic area the

project will serve. If a hearing is held, a copy of the transcript

of the hearing shall be submitted with the application.

(c) Acquiring New Bus Models. - Amounts appropriated or made

available under this chapter after September 30, 1989, may be

obligated or expended to acquire a new bus model only if a bus of

the model has been tested at the facility established under section

5318 of this title.

(d) Condition on Charter Bus Transportation Service. - (1)

Financial assistance under this chapter may be used to buy or

operate a bus only if the applicant, governmental authority, or

publicly owned operator that receives the assistance agrees that,

except as provided in the agreement, the governmental authority or

an operator of mass transportation for the governmental authority

will not provide charter bus transportation service outside the

urban area in which it provides regularly scheduled mass

transportation service. An agreement shall provide for a fair

arrangement the Secretary of Transportation considers appropriate

to ensure that the assistance will not enable a governmental

authority or an operator for a governmental authority to foreclose

a private operator from providing intercity charter bus service if

the private operator can provide the service.

(2) On receiving a complaint about a violation of an agreement,

the Secretary of Transportation shall investigate and decide

whether a violation has occurred. If the Secretary decides that a

violation has occurred, the Secretary shall correct the violation

under terms of the agreement. In addition to a remedy specified in

the agreement, the Secretary may bar a recipient under this

subsection or an operator from receiving further assistance when

the Secretary finds a continuing pattern of violations of the

agreement.

(e) Bus Passenger Seat Functional Specifications. - The initial

advertising by a State or local governmental authority for bids to

acquire buses using financial assistance under this chapter may

include passenger seat functional specifications that are at least

equal to performance specifications the Secretary of Transportation

prescribes. The specifications shall be based on a finding by the

State or local governmental authority of local requirements for

safety, comfort, maintenance, and life cycle costs.

(f) Schoolbus Transportation. - (1) Financial assistance under

this chapter may be used for a capital project, or to operate mass

transportation equipment or a mass transportation facility, only if

the applicant agrees not to provide schoolbus transportation that

exclusively transports students and school personnel in competition

with a private schoolbus operator. This subsection does not apply -

(A) to an applicant that operates a school system in the area

to be served and a separate and exclusive schoolbus program for

the school system;

(B) unless a private schoolbus operator can provide adequate

transportation that complies with applicable safety standards at

reasonable rates; and

(C) to a State or local governmental authority if it or a

direct predecessor in interest from which it acquired the duty of

transporting school children and personnel, and facilities to

transport them, provided schoolbus transportation at any time

after November 25, 1973, but before November 26, 1974.

(2) An applicant violating an agreement under this subsection may

not receive other financial assistance under this chapter.

(g) Buying Buses Under Other Laws. - Subsections (d) and (f) of

this section apply to financial assistance to buy a bus under

sections 103(e)(4) (!1) and 142(a) or (c) of title 23. However,

subsection (f)(1)(C) of this section applies to sections 103(e)(4)

(!1) and 142(a) or (c) only if schoolbus transportation was

provided at any time after August 12, 1972, but before August 13,

1973.

(h) Grant and Loan Prohibitions. - A grant or loan may not be

used to -

(1) pay ordinary governmental or nonproject operating expenses;

or

(2) support a procurement that uses an exclusionary or

discriminatory specification.

(i) Government Share of Costs for Certain Projects. - A grant for

a project to be assisted under this chapter that involves acquiring

vehicle-related equipment required by the Americans with

Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) or

vehicle-related equipment (including clean fuel or alternative fuel

vehicle-related equipment) for purposes of complying with or

maintaining compliance with the Clean Air Act, is for 90 percent of

the net project cost of such equipment attributable to compliance

with those Acts. The Secretary shall have discretion to determine,

through practicable administrative procedures, the costs of such

equipment attributable to compliance with those Acts.

(j) Buy America. - (1) The Secretary of Transportation may

obligate an amount that may be appropriated to carry out this

chapter for a project only if the steel, iron, and manufactured

goods used in the project are produced in the United States.

(2) The Secretary of Transportation may waive paragraph (1) of

this subsection if the Secretary finds that -

(A) applying paragraph (1) would be inconsistent with the

public interest;

(B) the steel, iron, and goods produced in the United States

are not produced in a sufficient and reasonably available amount

or are not of a satisfactory quality;

(C) when procuring rolling stock (including train control,

communication, and traction power equipment) under this chapter -

(i) the cost of components and subcomponents produced in the

United States is more than 60 percent of the cost of all

components of the rolling stock; and

(ii) final assembly of the rolling stock has occurred in the

United States; or

(D) including domestic material will increase the cost of the

overall project by more than 25 percent.

(3) In this subsection, labor costs involved in final assembly

are not included in calculating the cost of components.

(4) The Secretary of Transportation may not make a waiver under

paragraph (2) of this subsection for goods produced in a foreign

country if the Secretary, in consultation with the United States

Trade Representative, decides that the government of that foreign

country -

(A) has an agreement with the United States Government under

which the Secretary has waived the requirement of this

subsection; and

(B) has violated the agreement by discriminating against goods

to which this subsection applies that are produced in the United

States and to which the agreement applies.

(5) A person is ineligible under subpart 9.4 of chapter 1 of

title 48, Code of Federal Regulations, to receive a contract or

subcontract made with amounts authorized under the Intermodal

Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (Public Law 102-240,

105 Stat. 1914) if a court or department, agency, or

instrumentality of the Government decides the person intentionally

-

(A) affixed a "Made in America" label, or a label with an

inscription having the same meaning, to goods sold in or shipped

to the United States that are used in a project to which this

subsection applies but not produced in the United States; or

(B) represented that goods described in clause (A) of this

paragraph were produced in the United States.

(6) The Secretary of Transportation may not impose any limitation

on assistance provided under this chapter that restricts a State

from imposing more stringent requirements than this subsection on

the use of articles, materials, and supplies mined, produced, or

manufactured in foreign countries in projects carried out with that

assistance or restricts a recipient of that assistance from

complying with those State-imposed requirements.

(7) Opportunity to correct inadvertent error. - The Secretary may

allow a manufacturer or supplier of steel, iron, or manufactured

goods to correct after bid opening any certification of

noncompliance or failure to properly complete the certification

(but not including failure to sign the certification) under this

subsection if such manufacturer or supplier attests under penalty

of perjury that such manufacturer or supplier submitted an

incorrect certification as a result of an inadvertent or clerical

error. The burden of establishing inadvertent or clerical error is

on the manufacturer or supplier.

(k) Participation of Governmental Agencies in Design and Delivery

of Transportation Services. - To the extent feasible, governmental

agencies and nonprofit organizations that receive assistance from

Government sources (other than the Department of Transportation)

for nonemergency transportation services -

(1) shall participate and coordinate with recipients of

assistance under this chapter in the design and delivery of

transportation services; and

(2) shall be included in the planning for those services.

(l) Application of Section 135 of Title 23. - The planning and

programming requirements of section 135 of title 23 apply to a

grant made under sections 5307-5311 of this title.

(m) Preaward and Postdelivery Review of Rolling Stock Purchases.

- The Secretary of Transportation shall prescribe regulations

requiring a preaward and postdelivery review of a grant under this

chapter to buy rolling stock to ensure compliance with Government

motor vehicle safety requirements, subsection (j) of this section,

and bid specifications requirements of grant recipients under this

chapter. Under this subsection, independent inspections and review

are required, and a manufacturer certification is not sufficient.

(n) Submission of Certifications. - A certification required

under this chapter and any additional certification or assurance

required by law or regulation to be submitted to the Secretary may

be consolidated into a single document to be submitted annually as

part of a grant application under this chapter. The Secretary shall

publish annually a list of all certifications required under this

chapter with the publication required under section 5336(e)(2).

(o) Grant Requirements. - The grant requirements under sections

5307 and 5309 apply to any project under this chapter that receives

any assistance or other financing under the Transportation

opportunity to present views was given to all parties with a

significant economic, social, or environmental interest and that

the project application includes a statement on -

(A) the environmental impact of the proposal;

(B) adverse environmental effects that cannot be avoided;

(C) alternatives to the proposal; and

(D) irreversible and irretrievable impacts on the environment.

(3)(A) The Secretary of Transportation may approve an application

Sec. 5326. Special procurements

-STATUTE-

(a) Turnkey System Projects. -

(1) Turnkey system project defined. - In this subsection, the

term "turnkey system project" means a project under which a

recipient enters into a contract with a seller, firm, or

consortium of firms to design and build a mass transportation

system or an operable segment thereof that meets specific

performance criteria. Such project may also include an option to

finance, or operate for a period of time, the system or segment

or any combination of designing, building, operating, or

maintaining such system or segment.

(2) Selection of turnkey projects. - To advance new

technologies and lower the cost of a capital project for a new

mass transportation system or an operable segment of a mass

transportation system, the Secretary of Transportation shall

allow solicitation for a turnkey system project to be financed

under this chapter to be awarded conditionally before United

States Government requirements have been met on the project if

the award is made without prejudice to carrying out those

requirements. Government financial assistance under this chapter

may be made available for the project after the recipient

complies with Government requirements.

(3) Demonstrations. - To develop guidelines applying generally

to turnkey system projects, the Secretary may approve at least 2

projects for an initial demonstration phase. The results of the

demonstration projects (and other projects using this procurement

method on December 18, 1991) shall be considered in developing

guidelines to carry out this subsection.

(b) Multiyear Rolling Stock. - (1) A recipient procuring rolling

stock with Government financial assistance under this chapter may

make a multiyear contract to buy the rolling stock and replacement

parts under which the recipient has an option to buy additional

rolling stock or replacement parts for not more than 5 years after

the date of the original contract.

(2) The Secretary shall allow at least 2 recipients to act on a

cooperative basis to procure rolling stock in compliance with this

subsection and other Government procurement requirements.

(c) Acquiring Rolling Stock. - A recipient of financial

assistance under this chapter may enter into a contract to expend

that assistance to acquire rolling stock -

(1) based on -

(A) initial capital costs; or

(B) performance, standardization, life cycle costs, and other

factors; or

(2) with a party selected through a competitive procurement

process.

(d) Procuring Associated Capital Maintenance Items. - A recipient

of assistance under section 5307 procuring an associated capital

maintenance item under section 5307(b) may enter into a contract

directly with the original manufacturer or supplier of the item to

be replaced, without receiving prior approval of the Secretary, if

the recipient first certifies in writing to the Secretary that -

(1) the manufacturer or supplier is the only source for the

item; and

(2) the price of the item is no more than the price that

similar customers pay for the item.

TITLE 49 - TRANSPORTATION

SUBTITLE III - GENERAL AND INTERMODAL PROGRAMS

CHAPTER 53 - MASS TRANSPORTATION

-HEAD-

Sec. 5331. Alcohol and controlled substances testing

-STATUTE-

(a) Definitions. - In this section -

(1) "controlled substance" means any substance under section

102 of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of

1970 (21 U.S.C. 802) whose use the Secretary of Transportation

decides has a risk to transportation safety.

(2) "person" includes any entity organized or existing under

the laws of the United States, a State, territory, or possession

of the United States, or a foreign country.

(3) "mass transportation" means any form of mass

transportation, except a form the Secretary decides is covered

adequately, for employee alcohol and controlled substances

testing purposes, under section 20140 or 31306 of this title.

(b) Testing Program for Mass Transportation Employees. - (1)(A)

In the interest of mass transportation safety, the Secretary shall

prescribe regulations that establish a program requiring mass

transportation operations that receive financial assistance under

section 5307, 5309, or 5311 of this title or section 103(e)(4) (!1)

of title 23 to conduct preemployment, reasonable suspicion, random,

and post-accident testing of mass transportation employees

responsible for safety-sensitive functions (as decided by the

Secretary) for the use of a controlled substance in violation of

law or a United States Government regulation, and to conduct

reasonable suspicion, random, and post-accident testing of such

employees for the use of alcohol in violation of law or a United

States Government regulation. The regulations shall permit such

operations to conduct preemployment testing of such employees for

the use of alcohol.

(B) When the Secretary of Transportation considers it appropriate

in the interest of safety, the Secretary may prescribe regulations

for conducting periodic recurring testing of mass transportation

employees responsible for safety-sensitive functions (as decided by

the Secretary) for the use of alcohol or a controlled substance in

violation of law or a Government regulation.

(2) In prescribing regulations under this subsection, the

Secretary of Transportation -

(A) shall require that post-accident testing of such a mass

transportation employee be conducted when loss of human life

occurs in an accident involving mass transportation; and

(B) may require that post-accident testing of such a mass

transportation employee be conducted when bodily injury or

significant property damage occurs in any other serious accident

involving mass transportation.

(c) Disqualifications for Use. - (1) When the Secretary of

Transportation considers it appropriate, the Secretary shall

require disqualification for an established period of time or

dismissal of any employee referred to in subsection (b)(1) of this

section who is found -

(A) to have used or been impaired by alcohol when on duty; or

(B) to have used a controlled substance, whether or not on

duty, except as allowed for medical purposes by law or

regulation.

(2) This section does not supersede any penalty applicable to a

mass transportation employee under another law.

(d) Testing and Laboratory Requirements. - In carrying out

subsection (b) of this section, the Secretary of Transportation

shall develop requirements that shall -

(1) promote, to the maximum extent practicable, individual

privacy in the collection of specimens;

(2) for laboratories and testing procedures for controlled

substances, incorporate the Department of Health and Human

Services scientific and technical guidelines dated April 11,

1988, and any amendments to those guidelines, including mandatory

guidelines establishing -

(A) comprehensive standards for every aspect of laboratory

controlled substances testing and laboratory procedures to be

applied in carrying out this section, including standards

requiring the use of the best available technology to ensure

the complete reliability and accuracy of controlled substances

tests and strict procedures governing the chain of custody of

specimens collected for controlled substances testing;

(B) the minimum list of controlled substances for which

individuals may be tested; and

(C) appropriate standards and procedures for periodic review

of laboratories and criteria for certification and revocation

of certification of laboratories to perform controlled

substances testing in carrying out this section;

(3) require that a laboratory involved in controlled substances

testing under this section have the capability and facility, at

the laboratory, of performing screening and confirmation tests;

(4) provide that all tests indicating the use of alcohol or a

controlled substance in violation of law or a Government

regulation be confirmed by a scientifically recognized method of

testing capable of providing quantitative information about

alcohol or a controlled substance;

(5) provide that each specimen be subdivided, secured, and

labeled in the presence of the tested individual and that a part

of the specimen be retained in a secure manner to prevent the

possibility of tampering, so that if the individual's

confirmation test results are positive the individual has an

opportunity to have the retained part tested by a 2d confirmation

test done independently at another certified laboratory if the

individual requests the 2d confirmation test not later than 3

days after being advised of the results of the first confirmation

test;

(6) ensure appropriate safeguards for testing to detect and

quantify alcohol in breath and body fluid samples, including

urine and blood, through the development of regulations that may

be necessary and in consultation with the Secretary of Health and

Human Services;

(7) provide for the confidentiality of test results and medical

information (except information about alcohol or a controlled

substance) of employees, except that this clause does not prevent

the use of test results for the orderly imposition of appropriate

sanctions under this section; and

(8) ensure that employees are selected for tests by

nondiscriminatory and impartial methods, so that no employee is

harassed by being treated differently from other employees in

similar circumstances.

(e) Rehabilitation. - The Secretary of Transportation shall

prescribe regulations establishing requirements for rehabilitation

programs that provide for the identification and opportunity for

treatment of any mass transportation employee referred to in

subsection (b)(1) of this section who is found to have used alcohol

or a controlled substance in violation of law or a Government

regulation. The Secretary shall decide on the circumstances under

which employees shall be required to participate in a program. This

subsection does not prevent a mass transportation operation from

establishing a program under this section in cooperation with

another mass transportation operation.

(f) Relationship to Other Laws, Regulations, Standards, and

Orders. - (1) A State or local government may not prescribe, issue,

or continue in effect a law, regulation, standard, or order that is

inconsistent with regulations prescribed under this section.

However, a regulation prescribed under this section does not

preempt a State criminal law that imposes sanctions for reckless

conduct leading to loss of life, injury, or damage to property.

(2) In prescribing regulations under this section, the Secretary

of Transportation -

(A) shall establish only requirements that are consistent with

international obligations of the United States; and

(B) shall consider applicable laws and regulations of foreign

countries.

(3) This section does not prevent the Secretary of Transportation

from continuing in effect, amending, or further supplementing a

regulation prescribed before October 28, 1991, governing the use of

alcohol or a controlled substance by mass transportation employees.

(g) Ineligibility for Assistance. - A person is not eligible for

financial assistance under section 5307, 5309, or 5311 of this

title or section 103(e)(4) (!2) of title 23 if the person is

required, under regulations the Secretary of Transportation

prescribes under this section, to establish a program of alcohol

and controlled substances testing and does not establish the

program.

interests of employees affected by the assistance shall be

protected under arrangements the Secretary of Labor concludes are

fair and equitable. The agreement granting the assistance under

sections 5307-5312, 5318(d), 5323(a)(1), (b), (d), and (e), 5328,

5337, and 5338(b) shall specify the arrangements.

transportation and credit amounts collected to the appropriation

concerned.

(b) Procedures for Prescribing Regulations. - (1) The Secretary

of Transportation shall prepare an agenda listing all areas in

which the Secretary intends to propose regulations governing

activities under this chapter within the following 12 months. The

Secretary shall publish the proposed agenda in the Federal Register

as part of the Secretary's semiannual regulatory agenda that lists

regulatory activities of the Federal Transit Administration. The

Secretary shall submit the agenda to the Committees on

Transportation and Infrastructure and Appropriations of the House

of Representatives and the Committees on Banking, Housing, and

Urban Affairs and Appropriations of the Senate on the day the

agenda is published.

(2) Except for emergency regulations, the Secretary of

Transportation shall give interested parties at least 60 days to

participate in a regulatory proceeding under this chapter by

submitting written information, views, or arguments, with or

without an oral presentation, except when the Secretary for good

cause finds that public notice and comment are unnecessary because

of the routine nature or insignificant impact of the regulation or

that an emergency regulation should be issued. The Secretary may

extend the 60-day period if the Secretary decides the period is

insufficient to allow diligent individuals to prepare comments or

that other circumstances justify an extension.

(3) An emergency regulation ends 120 days after it is issued.

(4) The Secretary of Transportation shall comply with this

section (except subsections (h) and (i)) and sections 5323(a)(2),

5323(c), 5323(e), 5324(c), 5325(a), 5325(b), 5326(c), and 5326(d)

when proposing or carrying out a regulation governing an activity

under this chapter, except for a routine matter or a matter with no

significant impact.

transaction of the Secretary of Transportation under this chapter

and a related voucher are binding on all officers and employees of

the United States Government.

(f) Dealing With Acquired Property. - Notwithstanding another law

related to the Government acquiring, using, or disposing of real

political subdivision of a State, of an inhabitant of the

for the purpose for which it was acquired, the Secretary of

Transportation may authorize the recipient to transfer the asset to

a local governmental authority to be used for a public purpose with

no further obligation to the Government. The Secretary may

authorize a transfer for a public purpose other than mass

transportation only if the Secretary decides -

(A) the asset will remain in public use for at least 5 years

after the date the asset is transferred;

(B) there is no purpose eligible for assistance under this

chapter for which the asset should be used;

(C) the overall benefit of allowing the transfer is greater

than the interest of the Government in liquidation and return of

the financial interest of the Government in the asset, after

considering fair market value and other factors; and

(D) through an appropriate screening or survey process, that

there is no interest in acquiring the asset for Government use if

the asset is a facility or land.

(2) A decision under paragraph (1) of this section must be in

writing and include the reason for the decision.

(3) This subsection is in addition to another law related to

using and disposing of a facility or equipment under an assistance

agreement.

(4) Proceeds from the sale of transit assets. -

(A) In general. - When real property, equipment, or supplies

acquired with assistance under this chapter are no longer needed

for mass transportation purposes as determined under the

applicable assistance agreement, the Secretary may authorize the

sale, transfer, or lease of the assets under conditions

determined by the Secretary and subject to the requirements of

this subsection.

(B) Use. - The net income from asset sales, uses, or leases

(including lease renewals) under this subsection shall be used by

the recipient to reduce the gross project cost of other capital

projects carried out under this chapter.

(C) Relationship to other authority. - The authority of the

Secretary under this subsection is in addition to existing

authorities controlling allocation or use of recipient income

otherwise permissible in law or regulation in effect prior to the

date of enactment of this paragraph.

share apply to amounts under title 23 used for mass transportation

projects. The provisions of this chapter related to the

non-Government share apply to amounts under this chapter used for

highway projects.

In subsections (c)-(f), and (j), the relevant substantive

provisions of 12:1749a are substituted for "shall . . . have the

functions, powers, and duties set forth in section 1749a of title

12, except subsections (c)(2) and (f) of such section" for clarity.

The reference to subsection (c)(2) is omitted as obsolete because

section 201(d)(1) of the Housing and Community Development

Technical Amendments Act of 1984 (Public Law 98-479, 98 Stat. 2228)

repealed 12:1749a(c)(2). The words "(in addition to any authority

otherwise vested in him)" are omitted as surplus.

In subsection (a), the text of 49 App.:1608(a) (1st sentence

related to 12:1749a(c)(8)) is omitted as obsolete. Before clause

(1), the words "carrying out this chapter" are substituted for "the

performance of, and with respect to, the functions, powers, and

duties vested in him by this chapter" to eliminate unnecessary

words. In clause (1), the words "(except terms the Secretary of

Labor prescribes under section 5333(b) of this title)" are added

for clarity because 49 App.:1608(a) only applies to the Secretary

of Transportation and does not supersede the responsibility of the

Secretary of Labor. In clause (3), the word "civil" is added for

clarity. The words "contract, or other" are omitted as surplus. In

clause (4), the words "bid for and . . . at any foreclosure or any

other sale" are omitted as surplus. In clause (6), the words "at

public or private sale", "real or personal", and "upon such terms

as he may fix" are omitted as surplus. Clause (8) is substituted

for 49 App.:1608(a) (1st sentence related to 12:1749a(c)(7)) to

eliminate unnecessary words. In clause (9), the word "provisions"

is omitted as surplus. The words "carry out this chapter" are

substituted for "assure that the purposes of this subchapter will

be achieved" to eliminate unnecessary words.

In subsection (b), the words "regulatory" and "regulatory

proceeding" are substituted for "rulemaking" for consistency in the

revised title and because "rule" and "regulation" are synonymous.

In subsection (b)(1), the words "Federal Transit Administration"

are substituted for "Urban Mass Transportation Administration"

because of section 3004(b) of the Intermodal Surface Transportation

Efficiency Act of 1991 (Public Law 102-240, 105 Stat. 2088). The

words "also" and "required by the first sentence of this paragraph"

are omitted as surplus.

In subsection (c), before clause (1), the words "In the

performance of, and with respect to, the functions, powers, and

duties vested in him by this subchapter . . . notwithstanding the

provisions of any other law" are omitted as surplus. In clause (1),

the words "prepare . . . and" and "for wholly owned Government

corporations" are omitted as surplus.

Subsection (d) is substituted for 49 App.:1608(a) (1st sentence

related to 12:1749a(b) and last sentence) to eliminate unnecessary

words.

In subsection (e), the words "such . . . as the making of loans"

are omitted as surplus. The words "under this chapter" are added

for clarity. The word "related" is substituted for "in connection

with such financial transactions" to eliminate unnecessary words.

The words "approved by the Secretary" are omitted as surplus. The

word "binding" is substituted for "final and conclusive" to

eliminate unnecessary words. The words "and employees" are added

for consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the

United States Code.

In subsection (f), before clause (1), the words "in any way" are

substituted for "complete, administer, remodel and convert, dispose

of, lease and otherwise" to eliminate unnecessary words. In clause

(1), the words "civil or criminal" are omitted as surplus. In

clause (2), the words "political subdivision of a State" are

substituted for "local" for consistency.

In subsection (g)(1), before clause (A), the words "facilities

and equipment and other", "(including land)", and "first" are

omitted as surplus.

In subsection (g)(3), the words "and not in lieu of" are omitted

as surplus.

Subsection (i) is substituted for section 1(a)(1) (related to

authority and functions reserved to Secretary of Housing and Urban

Development) of Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1968 to eliminate

unnecessary words. The reference to 49 App.:1602(c)(1) is

translated as a reference to 49 App.:1602(e)(1) because section

2(1) of the Urban Mass Transportation Assistance Act of 1970

(Public Law 91-453, 84 Stat. 962) redesignated subsection (c) as

subsection (e). The references to 49 App.:1603(a) (1st sentence),

1604, and 1607c(b) and former 49 App.:1607a are omitted as obsolete

because of section 103(a) of the National Mass Transportation Act

of 1974 (Public Law 93-503, 88 Stat. 1567) and sections 303(b),

305(a), and 307 of the Federal Public Transportation Act of 1978

(Public Law 95-599, 92 Stat. 2737, 2743, 2747). Reference to 49

App.:1607c(c) is omitted because it was enacted after the

Reorganization Plan and was not intended to be within the scope of

the Plan.

Subsection (j)(1) is substituted for 49 App.:1608(a) (1st

sentence related to 12:1749a(e)) to eliminate unnecessary words.

in the fiscal year that ended September 30, 1991, and the extent

to which the assistance and service has changed in later fiscal

years because of mass transportation resources made available

under this chapter and the Intermodal Surface Transportation

Efficiency Act of 1991 (Public Law 102-240, 105 Stat. 1914).

Sec. 5336. Apportionment of appropriations for formula grants

-STATUTE-

(a) Based on Urbanized Area Population. - Of the amount made

available or appropriated under section 5338(a) of this title -

(1) 9.32 percent shall be apportioned each fiscal year only in

urbanized areas with a population of less than 200,000 so that

each of those areas is entitled to receive an amount equal to -

(A) 50 percent of the total amount apportioned multiplied by

a ratio equal to the population of the area divided by the

total population of all urbanized areas with populations of

less than 200,000 as shown in the latest United States

Government census; and

(B) 50 percent of the total amount apportioned multiplied by

a ratio for the area based on population weighted by a factor,

established by the Secretary of Transportation, of the number

of inhabitants in each square mile; and

(2) 90.68 percent shall be apportioned each fiscal year only in

urbanized areas with populations of at least 200,000 as provided

in subsections (b) and (c) of this section.

(b) Based on Fixed Guideway Revenue Vehicle-Miles, Route-Miles,

and Passenger-Miles. - (1) In this subsection, "fixed guideway

revenue vehicle-miles" and "fixed guideway route-miles" include

ferry boat operations directly or under contract by the designated

recipient.

(2) Of the amount apportioned under subsection (a)(2) of this

section, 33.29 percent shall be apportioned as follows:

(A) 95.61 percent of the total amount apportioned under this

subsection shall be apportioned so that each urbanized area with

a population of at least 200,000 is entitled to receive an amount

equal to -

(i) 60 percent of the 95.61 percent apportioned under this

subparagraph multiplied by a ratio equal to the number of fixed

guideway revenue vehicle-miles attributable to the area, as

established by the Secretary of Transportation, divided by the

total number of all fixed guideway revenue vehicle-miles

attributable to all areas; and

(ii) 40 percent of the 95.61 percent apportioned under this

subparagraph multiplied by a ratio equal to the number of fixed

guideway route-miles attributable to the area, established by

the Secretary, divided by the total number of all fixed

guideway route-miles attributable to all areas.

An urbanized area with a population of at least 750,000 in which

commuter rail transportation is provided shall receive at least

.75 percent of the total amount apportioned under this

subparagraph.

(B) 4.39 percent of the total amount apportioned under this

subsection shall be apportioned so that each urbanized area with

a population of at least 200,000 is entitled to receive an amount

equal to -

(i) the number of fixed guideway vehicle passenger-miles

traveled multiplied by the number of fixed guideway vehicle

passenger-miles traveled for each dollar of operating cost in

an area; divided by

(ii) the total number of fixed guideway vehicle

passenger-miles traveled multiplied by the total number of

fixed guideway vehicle passenger-miles traveled for each dollar

of operating cost in all areas.

An urbanized area with a population of at least 750,000 in which

commuter rail transportation is provided shall receive at least

.75 percent of the total amount apportioned under this

subparagraph.

(C) Under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, fixed guideway

revenue vehicle- or route-miles, and passengers served on those

miles, in an urbanized area with a population of less than

200,000, where the miles and passengers served otherwise would be

attributable to an urbanized area with a population of at least

1,000,000 in an adjacent State, are attributable to the

governmental authority in the State in which the urbanized area

with a population of less than 200,000 is located. The authority

is deemed an urbanized area with a population of at least 200,000

if the authority makes a contract for the service.

(D) A recipient's apportionment under subparagraph (A)(i) of

this paragraph may not be reduced if the recipient, after

satisfying the Secretary of Transportation that energy or

operating efficiencies would be achieved, reduces revenue

vehicle-miles but provides the same frequency of revenue service

to the same number of riders.

(c) Based on Bus Revenue Vehicle-Miles and Passenger-Miles. - Of

the amount apportioned under subsection (a)(2) of this section,

66.71 percent shall be apportioned as follows:

(1) 90.8 percent of the total amount apportioned under this

subsection shall be apportioned as follows:

paragraph shall be apportioned so that each urbanized area with

a population of at least 1,000,000 is entitled to receive an

amount equal to -

(i) 50 percent of the 73.39 percent apportioned under this

subparagraph multiplied by a ratio equal to the total bus

revenue vehicle-miles operated in or directly serving the

urbanized area divided by the total bus revenue vehicle-miles

attributable to all areas;

(ii) 25 percent of the 73.39 percent apportioned under this

subparagraph multiplied by a ratio equal to the population of

the area divided by the total population of all areas, as

shown by the latest Government census; and

(iii) 25 percent of the 73.39 percent apportioned under

this subparagraph multiplied by a ratio for the area based on

population weighted by a factor, established by the Secretary

of Transportation, of the number of inhabitants in each

square mile.

(B) 26.61 percent of the 90.8 percent apportioned under this

paragraph shall be apportioned so that each urbanized area with

a population of at least 200,000 but not more than 999,999 is

entitled to receive an amount equal to -

(i) 50 percent of the 26.61 percent apportioned under this

subparagraph multiplied by a ratio equal to the total bus

revenue vehicle-miles operated in or directly serving the

urbanized area divided by the total bus revenue vehicle-miles

attributable to all areas;

(ii) 25 percent of the 26.61 percent apportioned under this

subparagraph multiplied by a ratio equal to the population of

the area divided by the total population of all areas, as

shown by the latest Government census; and

(iii) 25 percent of the 26.61 percent apportioned under

this subparagraph multiplied by a ratio for the area based on

population weighted by a factor, established by the Secretary

of Transportation, of the number of inhabitants in each

square mile.

(2) 9.2 percent of the total amount apportioned under this

subsection shall be apportioned so that each urbanized area with

a population of at least 200,000 is entitled to receive an amount

equal to -

(A) the number of bus passenger-miles traveled multiplied by

the number of bus passenger-miles traveled for each dollar of

operating cost in an area; divided by

(B) the total number of bus passenger-miles traveled

multiplied by the total number of bus passenger-miles traveled

for each dollar of operating cost in all areas.

(d) [Reserved.]

(e) Date of Apportionment. - The Secretary of Transportation

shall -

(1) apportion amounts appropriated under subsections (a) and

(h)(2) of section 5338 of this title to carry out section 5307 of

this title not later than the 10th day after the date the amounts

are appropriated or October 1 of the fiscal year for which the

amounts are appropriated, whichever is later; and

(2) publish apportionments of the amounts, including amounts

attributable to each urbanized area with a population of more

than 50,000 and amounts attributable to each State of a

multistate urbanized area, on the apportionment date.

(f) Amounts Not Apportioned to Designated Recipients. - The chief

executive officer of a State may expend in an urbanized area with a

population of less than 200,000 an amount apportioned under this

section that is not apportioned to a designated recipient as

defined in section 5307(a) of this title.

(g) Transfers of Apportionments. - (1) The chief executive

officer of a State may transfer any part of the State's

apportionment under subsection (a)(1) of this section to supplement

amounts apportioned to the State under section 5311(c) of this

title or amounts apportioned to urbanized areas under this

subsection. The chief executive officer may make a transfer only

after consulting with responsible local officials and publicly

owned operators of mass transportation in each area for which the

amount originally was apportioned under this section.

(2) The chief executive officer of a State may transfer any part

of the State's apportionment under section 5311(c) of this title to

supplement amounts apportioned to the State under subsection (a)(1)

of this section.

(3) The chief executive officer of a State may use throughout the

State amounts of a State's apportionment remaining available for

obligation at the beginning of the 90-day period before the period

of the availability of the amounts expires.

(4) A designated recipient for an urbanized area with a

population of at least 200,000 may transfer a part of its

apportionment under this section to the chief executive officer of

a State. The chief executive officer shall distribute the

transferred amounts to urbanized areas under this section.

(5) Capital and operating assistance limitations applicable to

the original apportionment apply to amounts transferred under this

subsection.

(h) Changes of Apportionments. - If sufficient amounts are

available, the Secretary of Transportation shall change

apportionments under this section between the Mass Transit Account

of the Highway Trust Fund and the general fund to ensure that each

recipient receives from the general fund at least as much operating

assistance made available each fiscal year under this section as

the recipient is eligible to receive.

(i) Period of Availability to Recipients. - An amount apportioned

under this section may be obligated by the recipient for 3 years

after the fiscal year in which the amount is apportioned. Not later

than 30 days after the end of the 3-year period, an amount that is

not obligated at the end of that period shall be added to the

amount that may be apportioned under this section in the next

fiscal year.

(j) Application of Other Sections. - Sections 5302, 5318,

5323(a)(1), (d), and (f), 5332, and 5333 of this title apply to

the area had been an urbanized area as defined by section

5302(a)(13) (!1) of this title; and

(2) an amount equal to 50 percent of the amount that the State

in which the area is located would have received if the area had

been an area other than an urbanized area.

386, provided that:

"(a) Study. - The Secretary [of Transportation] shall conduct a

study to determine whether the formula for apportioning funds to

urbanized areas under section 5336 of title 49, United States Code,

accurately reflects the transit needs of the urbanized areas and,

if not, whether any changes should be made either to the formula or

through some other mechanism to reflect the fact that some

urbanized areas with a population between 50,000 and 200,000 have

transit systems that carry more passengers per mile or hour than

the average of those transit systems in urbanized areas with a

population over 200,000.

"(b) Report. - Not later than December 31, 1999, the Secretary

shall transmit to the Committee on Transportation and

Infrastructure of the House of Representatives and the Committee on
