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
Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 1998.

(B) adverse environmental effects that cannot be avoided;
(C) alternatives to the proposal; and

-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.

explain the reasons for the delay, and estimate the additional time
that will be required.
(2) The Secretary shall inform the recipient of the reasons when
a plan is disapproved.
(c) Limitations on Use of Available Amounts. - (1) The Secretary

and audits carried out under this section. Subsections (a), (b),
and (e) of this section do not apply to contracts under this
paragraph.
(3) The Government shall pay the entire cost of carrying out a
contract under this subsection.

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.
(c) Budget Program and Set of Accounts. - The Secretary of
Transportation shall -

9103 of title 31; and
(2) maintain a set of accounts for audit under chapter 35 of
title 31.
(d) Depository and Availability of Amounts. - The Secretary of

(e) Binding Effect of Financial Transaction. - A financial
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
property, the Secretary of Transportation may deal with property
acquired under subsection (a)(3) or (4) of this section in any way.
However, this subsection does not -

(2) impair the civil rights, under the laws of a State or
political subdivision of a State, of an inhabitant of the
property.
(g) Transfer of Assets No Longer Needed. - (1) If a recipient of
assistance under this chapter decides an asset acquired under this

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.
(h) Transfer of Amounts and Non-Government Share. - (1) Amounts

highway project under this chapter shall be transferred to and
administered by the Secretary under title 23.

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.

planning; and

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).

-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:
(A) 73.39 percent of the 90.8 percent apportioned under this
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

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
