The National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 included the Alameda Transportation Corridor as a High Priority Corridor for which direct loans are authorized under
ISTEA Section 1105(i). The Corridor is an intermodal project
connecting the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to downtown Los Angeles. The project replaces the current 20 miles
of at-grade rail lines with a high-speed, below-grade corridor,
thereby eliminating over 200 grade crossings. It also widens
and improves the adjacent major highway on this alignment
and mitigates the impact of increased international traffic
transferring through the San Pedro Ports. Segments of the

The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1968 authorized $300 million for the establishment of a right-of-way revolving fund.
This fund is used to make cash advances to States for the
purpose of purchasing right-of-way parcels in advance of highway construction and thereby preventing the inflation of land
prices from significantly increasing construction costs.
This program was terminated in 1996 but will continue
to be shown for reporting purposes as loan balances remain
outstanding. A prohibition on further obligations is requested
for 1997.

State Infrastructure Banks are a promising way of facilitating needed infrastructure investment, especially when all levels of government are facing constrained resources. State Infrastructure Banks are a means of increasing and improving
both public and private investment in transportation.
The National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 authorized up to ten pilot states to test State Infrastructure
Banks (‘‘SIBs’’) which would provide greater flexibility to support the financing of projects by using Federal-aid funds for
revolving loans and other forms of non-traditional financial
assistance for both public and private entities developing eligible transportation projects. States have shown significant
interest in exploring the infrastructure financing benefits offered by this concept.
The Department is currently accepting applications from
interested states, with substantially more than ten states expressing interest in the program and expected to apply for
pilot status. Given the level of interest, the administration
proposes that the program be expanded to include additional
states and to provide $250 million in funding to capitalize
SIBs.

The Highway Revenue Act of 1956, as amended, provides
for the transfer from the general fund to the highway trust
fund of revenue from the motor fuel tax and certain other
taxes paid by highway users. The Secretary of the Treasury
estimates the amounts to be transferred. In turn, appropriations are authorized from this fund to meet expenditures for
Federal-aid highways and other programs as specified by law.
The budget does not propose policy changes related to the
spending and revenues of the Highway Trust Fund. The Administration plans to address issues related to the Highway
Trust Fund as part of the upcoming Surface Transportation
Authorization due to Congress with the 1998 budget.
Receipts increase in 1996 because receipts generated by
2.5 cents of the motor fuel tax are deposited in the Highway
Trust Fund instead of the General Fund.

The Federal-Aid Highways (FAH) budget authority consists
of several programs designed to aid in the construction, rehabilitation, traffic management and safety of our nation’s highways. This program is funded by contract authority found
in substantive legislation currently provided by the six-year
(1992-1997) Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act
of 1991 (P.L. 102–240), (ISTEA).
All programs included within FAH are financed from the
Highway Trust Fund and distributed via apportionments and
allocations to States. Liquidating cash appropriations are subsequently requested to fund outlays resulting from obligations
incurred under contract authority. The budget proposes to
fund programs from within the Federal-Aid Highway obligation limitation and a separate obligation ceiling for the section
310(d) Bonus Limitation. Emergency Relief and Minimum Allocation programs that are currently exempt from the limitation will continue to be exempt from the limitation. All highway demonstration projects will be covered by separate limitations.
National highway program.—The ISTEA established a National Highway System (NHS) Program to provide funding
for a designated National Highway System consisting of roads
that are of primary Federal interest. Legislation designating
a 161,000 mile system was enacted in November of 1995.
The National Highway System consists of the current Interstate, other rural principal arterials, urban freeways and connecting urban principal arterials, and facilities on the Defense
Department’s designated Strategic Highway Network.
Surface Transportation Program (STP).—The ISTEA established a new block grant-type program that may be used
by States and localities for any roads that are not classified
as local or rural minor collector roads. The ISTEA authorized
a total of $23.9 billion for the STP over six years. The authority may be augmented by transfers of authority from other
programs and by the apportionment adjustments authorized
by section 1015 of ISTEA and minimum allocation funds
which may be used as if they were STP funds.
Bridge replacement and rehabilitation.—The ISTEA continues the bridge program to enable States to respond to the
problem of unsafe and inadequate bridges. The funds will
be available for use on all bridges, both on and off the National Highway System, including those on roads functionally
classified as rural minor collectors and as local. Highway
bridges designated as a hazard to navigation by the U.S.
Coast Guard are eligible for funding under the NHS, STP
or bridge program.
Emergency relief.—The Emergency Relief (ER) program provides funds for the repair or reconstruction of Federal-aid
highways and bridges and Federally-owned roads and bridges
which have suffered serious damage as the result of natural
disasters or catastrophic failures. The ER program supplements the commitment of resources by States, their political
subdivisions, or Federal agencies to help pay for unusually
heavy expenses resulting from extraordinary conditions.
Federal lands.—This category includes the Public Lands
Highways, Park Roads and Parkways, and Indian Reservation
Roads programs. Roads funded under this program are open
to public travel. State and local roads (25,000 miles) that
provide important access to and within the National Forest
System are designated Forest Highways. These roads should
not be confused with the Forest Development Roads which
are under the jurisdiction of the Forest Service. Park roads
and Parkways (8,000 miles) are owned by the National Park
Service and provide access to and within the National Park
System. Indian Reservation Roads program consists of the
Bureau of Indian Affairs (20,000 miles) and State and local

roads (25,000 miles) that provide access to, and within, Indian

Miscellaneous.—This category includes Ferry Boat Construction, Scenic Byways, University Transportation Centers,
University Research Institutes, Tax Evasion Projects, and Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The 1997 budget funds the
National Recreational Trails program from administrative
contract authority as required by P.L. 104–59. The Administration believes this program should not be funded within
the Department of Transportation in future years. In addition,
the budget proposes to eliminate funding for the timber bridge
research program. To the extent additional research is warranted in this area, it should be funded as part of the materials research budget of FHWA.

For payment of obligations incurred in carrying out the provisions
of title 23, United States Code, section 402 administered by the
Federal Highway Administration, to remain available until expended,
ø$11,000,000¿ $2,049,000 to be derived from the Highway Trust

obligations for which are in excess of $11,000,000 in fiscal year 1996
for ‘‘Highway-Related Safety Grants’’¿. (Department of Transportation
and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1996.)

The Highway Safety Act of 1970 authorized grants to States
and communities for implementing and maintaining highwayrelated safety standards. The Highway-Related Safety Grants
program is proposed to be merged with the highway traffic
safety programs of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in FY 1997. The FY 1997 appropriation request,
together with the unpaid balance of cash appropriations, is
sufficient to liquidate unpaid obligations of 1996 and earlier
years.

The Motor Carrier Safety Grant program provides grants
to States to enforce Federal and compatible State standards
applicable to commercial motor vehicle safety. Uniform safety
standards both enhance the coordination of enforcement activities and simplify the safety requirements of interstate
trucking parties. The purpose of the grant program is to raise
the level of enforcement, not to substitute Federal funds for
State and local dollars.

No further budget authority is requested for 1997. Other
accounts in this consolidated schedule show the obligation
and outlay amounts made available in prior years. A proposed
general provision would limit obligations in 1997.

BUREAU OF TRANSPORTATION STATISTICS
The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act
(ISTEA) of 1991, section 6006, (49 U.S.C. 111), established
in the Department of Transportation a new Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Its Director is appointed by the President
with the advice and consent of the Senate to a four-year
term.
The work of the Bureau consists of: compiling transportation statistics, implementing a long-term data collection program, issuing guidelines for information collection, coordination of information collection, making statistics accessible, and
identifying information needs.
Financing of the Bureau’s operations is authorized as contract authority out of the Highway Trust Fund at $5 million
for 1992, $10 million for 1993, $15 million for 1994 and 1995,
$20 million for 1996, and $25 million for 1997. The contract
authority is included in the Federal-Aid Highways program
and subject to the obligation limitation applicable to that
program. Funds are transferred to the Bureau from FederalAid Highways, where all obligations and outlays are counted.
Obligations are estimated at $17.5 million in 1996 and
$24.7 million in 1997. Obligations incurred under allocations
from other accounts are included in the schedules of the parent appropriation as follows: Department of Transportation,
Federal Highway Administration, Federal-Aid Highways.
The Bureau also includes the Office of Airline Information,
formerly the Office of Airline Statistics in the Research and
Special Programs Administration. Financing of the Bureau’s
activities related to airline statistics is proposed to be derived
from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund at $3.1 million for
1997.

Communities demonstration providing grants to communities
and injury prevention centers to develop and manage local
injury prevention programs; a new technical assistance initiative for state program evaluation; and a railroad-highway
safety demonstration grant program. The Department has set
two important traffic safety program goals for the nation:
reduce alcohol-related traffic fatalities to no more than 11,000
by the year 2005 (with a near-term goal of 15,075 by 1997)
and increase safety belt use to 75 percent by 1997. Provides
for highway safety research on new countermeasures to improve safety belt usage, to prevent alcohol impaired driving,
and to reduce unsafe driving speeds. Research also addresses
young and older driver safety, and driver education. A new
research initiative in state and community program effectiveness is also proposed.

National Driver Register.—NDR program funding is provided to improve traffic safety by assisting State motor vehicle
administrators in communicating effectively and efficiently
with other States to identify drivers whose licenses have been
suspended or revoked for serious traffic offenses including
impaired driving and hit and run. States are completing conversion to an electronic inquiry system (Problem Driver Pointer System) developed pursuant to the National Driver Register Act of 1982. The new communication system will accelerate information exchanges among States and increase the
accuracy of data used in State driver licensing decisions.

Section 402 formula grants.—Grant allocations are determined on the basis of a statutory formula established by
Congress under 23 U.S.C. 402. States use this funding for
reducing traffic crashes, fatalities, and injuries. The grants
are used to support State highway safety programs within
national priorities established by Congress and implemented
jointly with all members of the highway safety community.
States develop plans to manage use of grants to reduce death
and injury associated with excessive speeds, failure to use
occupant restraints, alcohol/drug impaired driving and roadway safety. Grants are also devoted to improvements in safety
of motorcyclists, pedestrians, bicyclists and older/younger
drivers, and emergency medical services/trauma care, school
bus safety, and better traffic records systems. In 1997, funding for the Safe Communities initiative will continue community-based efforts to mount multi-year injury prevention programs through locally based partnerships. In FY 1997 the
Highway-Related Safety Grants program of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) will be merged into the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Section 402
formula grants program. NHTSA proposes to spend $15 million on programs previously funded by FHWA for roadway
safety.
Section 410 incentive grants.—Alcohol-impaired driving
countermeasure grants are provided to States that qualify
by adopting laws and program measures specified by Congress—to reduce safety problems stemming from driving while
impaired by alcohol and other drugs. Basic grants are issued
for achieving criteria that include administrative driver license actions within stated timeframes, lower blood-alcohol
content (BAC) laws, statewide police roadside checkpoints,
effective under age 21 impairment deterrence, mandatory sentences for repeat offenders, and programs that are financially
self-sufficient. Supplemental grants are provided to States
that adopt additional specified measures, including .02 BAC
laws for under-21 drivers, license plate confiscation, laws

In 1997, a total of $2.152 billion is requested for Formula
Grants. These funds may be used for a wide variety of mass
transit purposes, including planning, construction of facilities,
purchase of buses and railcars, and for operating assistance.
Activities funded under this account are:
Urban Formula Grants.—$1.982 billion will be apportioned
by legislative formula for use in urbanized areas with populations of more than 50,000. Not to exceed $500 million of
Urban Formula Grants funding will be available for operating
assistance to mitigate reductions in service and increases in
fares brought about by significant cuts in operating assistance
over the last two years. This increase is also needed to defray
the additional operating costs that will result from full implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act paratransit
requirements in 1997. Urban formula grants funds not available for operating assistance may be transferred to the Federal Highway Administration for use on highway projects at
State and local discretion.
Nonurban Formula Grants.—$115 million will be apportioned according to a legislative formula based on each State’s
nonurban population to areas with populations of less than
50,000.
Elderly and Disabled Grants.—$55 million will be apportioned to each State according to a legislatively required formula to assist in providing transportation to the elderly and
persons with disabilities. Funds may be made available to
private nonprofit organizations and to public bodies when
certain requirements are met.

Funding of $85.5 million is requested for the Transit Planning and Research (TPR) Program to fund a wide variety
of activities. Of the TPR funding, $39.5 million will be apportioned to States for Metropolitan Planning (49 U.S.C. 5303),
$4.5 million for the Rural Transit Assistance Program (49
U.S.C. 5311(b)(2)), $8.25 million for the Transit Cooperative
Research Program, $8.25 million for the State TPR Program,
$22.0 million for the National TPR Program and $3.0 million
for the National Transit Institute.
Under the national component of the program, the FTA
is a catalyst in the research, development and deployment
of transportation methods and technologies addressing such
issues as accessibility for the disabled, air quality, traffic congestion and service and operational improvements. The National Planning and Research Program also supports the development of innovative transit technologies, such as the Advanced Technology Transit Bus, and fuel cells and batteries.
Beginning in 1997, all funding for Intelligent Transportation
Systems, a portion of which was previously included in this
account, is consolidated within the Federal-aid highway account.
Funds for the State and local component of the program
improve the State and local planning process and allow participation in research efforts.

This account supports the operation and maintenance of
a safe national aviation system. It finances the personnel
and support costs of operating and maintaining the air traffic
control system, and ensuring the safety and security of its
operation. The 1997 budget proposes a 6 percent increase
for the operations account. This will fund a net increase of
250 air traffic controllers and 258 safety inspectors. It also
completes the hiring of over 500 maintenance inspectors to
support the national airspace infrastructure.
The 1997 budget proposes the establishment and collection
of $150 million in user fees for services provided by the FAA.
These fees will be credited to the Operations appropriation
and are the first step to fully funding FAA through user
fees.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FRANCHISE FUND
There is hereby established in the Treasury a fund, to be available
without fiscal year limitation, for the costs of capitalizing and operating such administrative services as the FAA Administrator determines
may be performed more advantageously as centralized services, including accounting, international training, payroll, travel, duplicating,
multi-media and information technology services: Provided, That any
inventories, equipment, and other assets pertaining to the services
to be provided by such fund, either on hand or on order, less the
related liabilities or unpaid obligations, and any appropriations made
prior to the current year for the purpose of providing capital shall
be used to capitalize such fund: Provided further, That such fund
shall be paid in advance from funds available to the FAA and other
Federal agencies for which such centralized services are performed,
at rates which will return in full all expenses of operation, including
accrued leave, depreciation of fund plant and equipment, amortization
of Automated Data Processing (ADP) software and systems (either
required or donated), and an amount necessary to maintain a reasonable operating reserve, as determined by the FAA Administrator: Provided further, That such fund shall provide services on a competitive
basis: Provided further, That an amount not to exceed four percent
of the total annual income to such fund may be retained in the
fund for fiscal year 1998 and each year thereafter, to remain available
until expended, to be used for the acquisition of capital equipment
and for the improvement and implementation of FAA financial management, ADP, and support systems: Provided further, That no later
than thirty days after the end of each fiscal year, amounts in excess
of this reserve limitation shall be transferred to miscellaneous receipts
in the Treasury.
Program and Financing (in millions of dollars)

The fund currently provides direct support for the aviation
insurance program authorized under chapter 443 of title 49,
U.S. Code (formerly Title XIII of the Federal Aviation Act
of 1958). Income to the fund is derived from premium deposits
for premium insurance coverage issued, income from authorized investments, and binder fees for nonpremium coverage
issued. The binders provide aviation insurance coverage for
U.S. air carrier aircraft used in connection with certain Government contract operations by the Department of Defense
and the Department of State.

In FY 1997, the Federal Aviation Administration will establish a franchise fund to finance operations where the costs
for goods and services provided are charged to the users on
a fee-for-service basis. The fund will improve organizational
efficiency and provide better support to our internal and external customers on a reimbursable basis. The activities included in this franchise fund in FY 1997 are international
training, accounting, payroll, travel, duplicating services,
multi-media services, and information technology. Initial estimates are based on a full cost recovery and do not assume
any retained earnings at this point.

is estimated to be $1.6 billion because of the delay reenacting
the tax. The extension of the taxes in August 1996, and
the 75 percent of FAA’s budget to be financed from the trust
fund, will result in an estimated uncommitted balance of $2.3
billion by the end of fiscal year 1997.

(LIQUIDATION OF CONTRACT AUTHORIZATION)
(AIRPORT AND AIRWAY TRUST FUND)

The Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (26
U.S.C. 9502), as amended by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Acts of 1990 (Public Law 101–508) and 1993 (Public
Law 103–66), provides for the receipts received in the Treasury from the 10-percent passenger ticket tax and certain other
taxes paid by airport and airway users to be transferred to
the Airport and Airway Trust Fund. In turn, appropriations
are authorized from this fund to meet obligations for airport
improvement grants, facilities and equipment, research, and
a portion of operations. However, the tax requirement expired
on December 31, 1995, and reenactment is not assumed until
August 1996. It is estimated that $3.6 billion of aviation
tax revenue will be foregone in 1996.
The status of the fund is as follows (in millions of dollars):
Status of Funds (in millions of dollars)

For liquidation of obligations incurred for grants-in-aid for airport
planning and development, and for noise compatibility planning and
programs as authorized under subchapter I of chapter 471 and subchapter I of chapter 475 of title 49, U.S. Code, and under other
law authorizing such obligations, $1,500,000,000, to be derived from
the Airport and Airway Trust Fund and to remain available until
expended: Provided, That none of the funds in this Act shall be
available for the planning or execution of programs the obligations
for which are in excess of ø$1,450,000,000¿ $1,350,000,000 in fiscal
year ø1996¿ 1997 for grants-in-aid for airport planning and development, and noise compatibility planning and programs, notwithstanding section 47117(h) of title 49, U.S. Codeø: Provided further, That
none of the funds in this Act shall be available for the planning
and execution of programs the obligations for which are in excess
of $26,000,000 for the ‘‘Military Airports Program’’ and $48,000,000
for the ‘‘Reliever Airports Program’’¿. (Department of Transportation

Note.—Mission Support, has an estimated contingent liability of $92 million (present value) associated with
the FAA’s long-term lease of facilities at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This
contingent liability will be funded through this account.

The proposed funding sustains the current infrastructure
and supports the FAA’s plan to modernize and improve the
national airspace system. In particular, funds would provide
for significant progress in developing the enroute, terminal
and tower automation programs, designed to upgrade air traffic control technology; and the voice switching and control
system, to modernize the system’s communications network.

The 1997 budget proposes funding to conduct research, engineering and development programs to improve the national
air traffic control system by increasing its safety, security,
capacity and productivity to meet the expected air traffic demands of the future. The agency also administers human
factors research aimed at increasing the effectiveness of air
traffic controller operations, airway facilities maintenance,
aviation medical research aimed at increasing the safety of
aircrew members and environmental research aimed at mitigating aircraft noise and engine emissions.
These programs are conducted by the agency’s technical
personnel directly and through contracts with qualified private firms, universities, and individuals, and through agreements with other Government agencies.

Sections 48104 and 48105 of title 49, U.S. Code (formerly
sections 506(c) and 506(d) of the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, as amended) and section 9502 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, authorize use of
the Airport and Airway Trust Fund as the source of financing
a portion of FAA’s operating costs. For 1997, it is proposed
that $2,742,602,000 of the Operations appropriation be financed from the Trust Fund. This would provide an overall
75 percent cost recovery for FAA programs in total. Financing
a portion of the operational costs from the Trust Fund is
appropriate since it means that the users of the aviation
system will help pay for the operation and maintenance of
the system and the salaries and related expenses of FAA’s
safety employees, who have the daily responsibility of ensuring the safety of the flying public.

To carry out its unique duties as a peacetime operating
agency and one of the military services, the Coast Guard
employs multipurpose vessels, aircraft, and shore units, strategically located along the coasts and inland waterways of
the United States and in selected areas overseas. The 1997
request provides for the safety of the public, and the Coast
Guard’s work force, with a continued emphasis on critical
national security and law enforcement missions.

ALTERATION

OF

The following tabulation shows the average number of personnel on the rolls during 1995 compared with estimated
numbers for 1996 and 1997:

BRIDGES—Continued

This appropriation provides the Government’s share of the
costs for altering or removing railroad bridges determined
to be obstructions to navigation. Consistent with pending legislation, beginning in 1997, the Coast Guard will no longer
fund alteration of highway bridges determined to be unreasonably obstructive under the Truman-Hobbs Act of 1940 as
amended, (33 U.S.C. 511 et seq.). The Federal share of such
projects will be eligible for funding from the Federal Highway
Administration, under the continuing program direction of
the Coast Guard.
Coast Guard will continue to seek direct funding for the
Federal share of the necessary alteration of railroad bridges
under this appropriation.

RETIRED PAY
For retired pay, including the payment of obligations therefor otherwise chargeable to lapsed appropriations for this purpose, and payments under the Retired Serviceman’s Family Protection and Survivor Benefits Plans, and for payments for medical care of retired

This account has historically provided financial assistance
for the development and implementation of a coordinated national recreational boating safety program. Boating Safety statistics reflect the success in meeting the program’s objectives.
No discretionary appropriation is requested in 1997 from the
funds deposited in the Boat Safety Account of the Aquatic
Resources Trust Fund. Federal funding for assistance to
States, administrative costs of the program, and the nonprofit
grant program will be provided under proposed legislation
that would transfer an additional $35 million in mandatory
funds to the Secretary of Transportation from the mandatory
appropriation of the Sport Fish Restoration Account under
the authority of Title V of the ‘‘Oceans Act of 1992’’ (P.L.
102–587) for a total of $45 million.

The Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and the
Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971 (Public Law 92–75), as
amended, provide for the transfer of Highway Trust Fund
revenue derived from the motor boat fuel tax and certain
other taxes to the Aquatic Resources Trust Fund. The Secretary of the Treasury estimates the amounts to be so transferred. In turn, appropriations are authorized from this fund
to meet expenditures for programs specified by law.

The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989, Public Law
101–239, triggered collection of a 5 cent tax on each barrel
of oil produced domestically or imported to be deposited into
the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund. Resources from the Oil
Spill Liability Trust Fund are used to finance oil pollution
prevention and cleanup responsibilities by various Federal
agencies. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, the
Fund may finance annually up to $50 million of emergency
resources and all valid claims from injured parties resulting
from oil spills. For Coast Guard, this funds the following
accounts: trust fund share of expenses, emergency fund, and
payment of claims. The authority to collect the tax expired
on December 31, 1994. Legislation will be proposed to reinstate the authority to collect the tax and raise the cap from
$1 billion to $2.5 billion.

The Maritime Security Program provides resources to maintain a U.S.-flag merchant fleet crewed by U.S. citizens to
serve both the commercial and national security needs of
the United States. The program provides direct payments
to U.S.-flag ship operators engaged in U.S.-foreign trade. Participating operators would be required to keep the vessels
in active commercial service and would be required to provide
intermodal sealift support to the Department of Defense in
time of war or national emergency.

CARGO PREFERENCE PROGRAM COSTS

For necessary expenses of operations and training activities authorized by law, $78,097,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That reimbursements may be made to this appropriation from
receipts to the ‘‘Federal Ship Financing Fund’’ for administrative support of that program in addition to any amount heretofore appropriated.

OCEAN FREIGHT DIFFERENTIAL

1995 actual

must be carried on U.S.-flag vessels. The increased cost associated with this expanded U.S.-flag shipping requirement
stems from higher rates charged by U.S.-flag carriers compared with foreign-flag carriers. The Maritime Administration
is required to reimburse the Department of Agriculture for
ocean freight differential costs for the added tonnage above
50 percent. These reimbursements are funded through borrowings from the Treasury. This account has a permanent,
indefinite appropriation to liquidate debt provided in Public
Law 100–202 to cover these costs.
The Maritime Administration’s ocean freight differential
costs are one portion of the government’s cargo preference
program. The ocean transportation subsidy costs related to
cargo preference for all relevant agencies are presented in
the following schedule.

Beginning in 1996, funding for the Ready Reserve Force
(RRF) account is included in appropriations for the Department of Defense. Management of the RRF remains with
MARAD. Reimbursements from the Department of Defense
for the RRF account are reflected in MARAD’s Vessel Operations Revolving Fund account.
The RRF is comprised of Government-owned, U.S.-flag merchant ships laid up in the National Defense Reserve Fleet
(NDRF). The RRF is maintained in an advanced state of
readiness to meet surge shipping requirements during a national emergency.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

The Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended, established
the Federal Ship Financing Fund to assist in the development
of the U.S. merchant marine by guaranteeing construction
loans and mortgages on U.S.-flag vessels built in the United
States. In 1995, $574 million unobligated balance was returned to the Treasury to be used for other purposes. No
new commitments for loan guarantees are projected for 1997
for the Federal Ship Financing Fund. Operating expenses
incurred in the operation of the Federal Ship Financing Fund
will continue to be paid from income to the fund. In 1997,
the estimate includes $50 million as a contingency against
possible defaults. The fund receives income from insurance
premiums on construction loans and mortgages, fees, and interest on mortgages held directly and sale of defaulted assets.
The 1995 end of year balance in the Federal Ship Financing
Fund is primarily a result of sale of assets, normal collection
of periodic loan guarantee fees, and interest income.

available to subsidize total loan principal, any part of which is to
be guaranteed, not to exceed $800,000,000.
In addition, for administrative expenses to carry out the guaranteed
loan program, not to exceed $4,000,000, which shall be transferred
to and merged with the appropriation for Operations and Training.
Note.—A regular 1996 appropriation for this account had not been enacted at the time
this budget was prepared. The 1996 amounts included in this budget are based on the
levels provided in three continuing resolutions: P.L. 104–91, P.L. 104–92, and P.L. 104–

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

The Hazardous Materials Transportation Uniform Safety
Act (HMTUSA) establishes a national registration program
of shippers and carriers of hazardous materials. The registrants finance, through fees, emergency preparedness planning and training grants programs, a training curriculum
for emergency responders, and monitoring and technical assistance to States, political subdivisions, and Indian tribes.
In the HMTUSA, there are permanent appropriations for the
planning and training grants, monitoring and technical assistance, and for administrative expenses. As enacted for 1996,
the Budget proposes to limit 1997 activities to those authorized for the Department of Transportation. Appropriations
are requested for the training curriculum.

The Surface Transportation Board was created on January
1, 1996, by P.L. 104–88, the ICC Termination Act of 1995.
Consistent with the continued trend toward less regulation
of the surface transportation industry, the ICC Termination
Act of 1995 abolished the ICC; eliminated certain functions
that had previously been implemented by the ICC; transferred
core rail and certain other functions to the Board; and transferred motor licensing and certain other motor functions to
the Federal Highway Administration. The Board is specifically responsible for the regulation of the rail and pipeline
industries and certain non-licensing regulation of motor carriers and water carriers. The new law empowers the Board
through its exemption authority to promote deregulation administratively on a case-by-case basis and continues intact
the important rail reforms of the Staggers Rail Act of 1980,
which have helped substantially improve rail service and the
profitability of the railroad industry.
Rail Carriers.—This regulatory oversight encompasses the
regulation of rates, mergers, acquisitions, construction and
abandonment of railroad lines, as well as the planning, analysis and policy development associated with these activities.
Staff ensure compliance with railroad regulations in order
to protect the public interest.
Other Surface Transportation Carriers.—This regulatory
oversight includes certain regulation of the intercity bus industry and surface pipeline carriers as well as the rate regulation of water transportation in the non-contiguous domestic
trade, household good carriers, and collectively determined
motor rates.
FY 1997 Program Request.—A total of $15,125,000 is requested to expand current Board staffing to meet projected
one-time workload increases imposed by the ICC Termination
Act of 1995 (ICCTA) as well as ongoing workload demands.
This amount is proposed to be derived from user fees collected
from the beneficiaries of the Board’s activities. The fee financing proposal stems from a proposal originally put forward
by the Board’s predecessor, the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC). This proposal suggested financing the ICC solely
with fees in lieu of termination. Fee financing the ICC successor, in the same way as proposed for ICC, will relieve the
general taxpayer of the burden of supporting the Board. Further, fee financing will increase the accountability of the
Board as to the value of the activities it provides to its customers. In addition to the amounts described above, $219,000
is expected to be collected through reimbursements from other
agencies.
The following paragraph is presented in compliance with
Section 703 of the ICCTA and does not reflect the views
of the Administration. It is presented without changes or
correction.
The Board’s Request.—The Board had submitted to the Secretary of Transportation and the Office of Management and
Budget a fiscal year 1997 appropriation request of
$13,444,000 and a request for $2,119,000 from reimbursements from the offsetting collection of user fees and from
other agencies. The appropriation request includes
$12,000,000 for the current level of funding provided by the
ICC Termination Act of 1995 (ICCTA), $444,000 for annual
pay and on-pay adjustments, and $1,000,000 for the statutory
liability of severance payments and unemployment compensation costs for former Interstate Commerce Commission and
Board employees who were separated from government service during FY 1996 and whose payments will continue into
FY 1997. The $2,119,000 request from reimbursements includes $219,000 from reimbursements from other agencies
and $1,900,000 from the offsetting collection of user fees,
which is based on the costs incurred by the Board for fee-

779

related activities and is commensurate with the costs of processing parties’ submissions. This level of funding is necessary
to complete several rulemakings and meet several deadlines
to implement the ICCTA, in addition to the ongoing caseload.
Furthermore, the Board needs adequate resources to perform
key functions under the ICCTA, including rail rate reasonableness cases; rail consolidations and abandonments; motor
carrier undercharges; and expected Amtrak compensation disputes.

øSEC. 355. SENSE OF SENATE REGARDING UNITED STATES/JAPAN
AVIATION DISPUTE.—(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) the Governments of the United States and Japan entered
into a bilateral aviation agreement in 1952 that has been modified
periodically to reflect changes in the aviation relationship between
the two countries;
(2) in 1994 the total revenue value of passenger and freight
traffic for United States air carriers between the United States
and Japan was approximately $6,000,000,000;
(3) the United States/Japan bilateral aviation agreement guarantees three United States carriers ‘‘beyond rights’’ that authorize
them to fly into Japan, take on additional passengers and cargo,
and then fly to another country;
(4) the United States/Japan bilateral aviation agreement requires
that, within 45 days of filing a notice with the Government of
Japan, the Government of Japan must authorize United States
air carriers to serve routes guaranteed by their ‘‘beyond rights’’;
(5) United States air carriers have made substantial economic
investment in reliance upon the expectation their rights under the
United States/Japan bilateral aviation agreement would be honored
by the Government of Japan;
(6) the Government of Japan has violated the United States/
Japan bilateral aviation agreement by preventing United States
air carriers from serving routes clearly authorized by their ‘‘beyond
rights’’; and
(7) the refusal by the Government of Japan to respect the terms
of the United States/Japan bilateral aviation agreement is having
severe repercussions on United States air carriers and, in general,
customers of these United States air carriers.
(b) ACTION REQUESTED.—The Congress—
(1) calls upon the Government of Japan to honor and abide by
the terms of the United States/Japan bilateral aviation agreement
and immediately authorize United States air cargo and passenger
carriers which have pending route requests relating to their ‘‘beyond rights’’ to immediately commence service on the requested
routes;
(2) calls upon the President of the United States to identify
strong and appropriate forms of countermeasures that could be
taken against the Government of Japan for its egregious violation
of the United States/Japan bilateral aviation agreement; and
(3) calls upon the President of the United States to promptly
impose against the Government of Japan whatever countermeasures are necessary and appropriate to ensure the Government
of Japan abides by the terms of the United States/Japan bilateral
aviation agreement.¿
